I think a meteor just tried to delete Boston.

Made a two osc 1982 wave table synth running on shadowbox. Mapped the params to a pc12. Glorious. Instant Exit/construction time again.

A lot of words to dance around "It looks this way because we were tasked with designing public space that is hostile to people experiencing homelessness." without actually saying exactly that. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/26/a...

Shadowbox Touch Assembly is eight screws and one ribbon cable using off the shelf parts, no soldering.

Hey, people, don't bring a video call on your phone into the bathroom or locker room. Thanks.

I'm so glad I never have to hear about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ever again. EVER.

Imagine being a Musicologist 100 years from now, looking back at the inflection point we're at right now.

One project for this summer is to improve the legibility of Shadowbox, and I've been doing research into 1-bit typefaces. I was not prepared for the potent nostalgia I experienced after discovering an archive of Lisa fonts. I have not seen these in over 40 years.

Failure is still progress.

Maybe buying a 3D printer will fill the emptiness inside me.

‪ Introducing Shadowbox Shadowbox is a lightweight runtime/control layer for RNBO patches. It turns a Pi into a self-contained, instrument/controller box. youtu.be/jnyWAzZjSOs

I am going to not complain about anything for the next 24 hours, starting right now.

It is exhausting to be targeted by scams all the time. It is exhausting to be gaslit by institutions I'm supposed to trust. It is exhausting to keep ahead of enshittification.

Encountered a new “callback phishing” / “invoice note injection” scam: 1. A scammer sends a tiny legitimate payment in a microvalued foreign currency: (1 HUF ≈ $0.003) 2. They embed a fraudulent message in the PayPal note field (impending charge of $982) 3. PayPal delivers that message verbatim

"Just replace this audio on this screen capture." YOU WANT TO RECOMPRESS THE VIDEO? "Nope, just add this audio track..." WHAT NON-NATIVE RESOLUTION DO YOU WANT ME TO USE TO SCALE AND RE-COMPRESS THE VIDEO? ***generates a 10,0000GB video file***

Boston Traffic Advisory: I will be wearing shorts during my commute. Extreme blinding whiteness may temporarily obscure vision. Prolonged exposure may cause blindness. Use caution when traveling. Appropriate eye protection (standard welding mask) is recommended.

Innovation in education isn't hitching your caboose to whatever the hot trend is. Maybe innovation is funding educators who already know what they are doing and want to do a better job.

Looking out for this year's Shincha. 👀

If [favorite music tool] is acquired by [ProfitExtractionGroup.Capital], we all know how this ends.

Welp, I guess I still have to do that presentation tomorrow.

HAHAHA YOU BUT AWAY YOUR ICE SCRAPERS, YOUR SNOW SHOVELS, YOU FOOLS!

1983: Your personality profile suggests you should be a watchmaker. "Pfftt... a profession with no future. Clearly, digital watches are going to destroy this career." 2026: Me, yelling at a youtube video: "You’ve knocked the escapement out of beat - did you even *look* at the pallets?"

If you're bad at soldering, I have some good news: you can also be bad at crimping.

Happy clearance sale day for surplus Easter candy.

It is, in fact, big ball chunky time.

Someone convinced me to watch Odd Thomas and it was very very bad. Voice over exposition. Very stilted dialog. Paper thin supporting characters. Really strange editing. Need to break a lock? Poof! A grinder! Need to start a vehicle? Just mate the already stripped wires hanging out!

A router should not be this cute. I need a set of googly eyes.

I despise the constant, grinding renegotiation of things we've supposedly already fought for and won. I'm not talking about anything specific. Just, overall. Everything is "what can we take away from you today?"

OK, so just avoid: Flying anywhere Driving anywhere Mailing anything

It looks like the Akai Pro MPC Sample Now is going to be a huge hit. It is smaller than you imagine and the MPC60 is way bigger than you remember.

Area man somehow not in a coma, can form complete sentences after a physical altercation with Alan Ritchson.

Hey guys, do you have a plan in place here for all the (now banned) routers receiving firmware updates from these (now angry, with nothing to lose) foreign companies? www.engadget.com/big-tech/the...

I love that we had 40 years to think about transporting MIDI on a 3.5mm TRS cable and we were STILL able to launch two incompatible versions.

The rules are: once the shorts are out, they're out.

Hello, internet. Is anyone in touch with Dave Lovelace (you know the one)

Back to my acoustic bike for a while.

With boomers entering their twilight years, there is just so much eschatology to choose from.

It's March! Weather’s junk drawer.

"Wintery mix" sounds so much better than cold regret falling from the sky.
