Relocating is hard, especially 10 hours away. The packing, the logistics, the stress. But the hardest part is when family gives you grief for leaving, without considering why: to grow, to improve, to build something better.

You know you're getting old when one Double IPA and a sodium-packed Chinese food feast leave you waking up like you partied with rockstars. Last night: I deserve this. This morning: I deserve electrolytes and a nap.

First BSOD since February. This setup’s been rock solid… until AutoCAD decided to throw hands. Mid-project. Time-sensitive. Naturally. Stop code: 0x00000000 — vague enough to be insulting. 85% collected… unlike my deadline.

Picked up these locally made gems from Raub's Farm Market and gave them a little pan-fry love myself. Crispy edges, warm filling, total comfort. Nothing beats cooking up something local and delicious to fuel the afternoon.

Me: Time for bed. Also me at 2:47 AM: What if my desktop theme changed color based on the genre of the track I’m listening to—and subtly judged my taste in psybient?

Born on this day in 2018, and stormed into our lives that November like the legend he was named after. From the moment we brought him home, this Boston terrier has been all sass, all heart, and all snorts.

Does anyone else have this similar post-coding ritual? Or is it just me? I've developed a quirky little habit whenever I solve a challenging coding problem. The moment my code works exactly as I want it to, I get up and walk away from my desk.

I'm canceling because the platform has become oversaturated with AI-generated music and mainstream content controlled by major labels. It's increasingly difficult to discover authentic, independent artists that align with my tastes.

Honestly the worst thing about this infestation of AI ‘art’ is that when somebody actually does post their work which they created using their imagination, that people will just brush it off as AI too. That’s the real tragedy here.

Meet Leroy! Sometimes we call him Leeroy Jenkins because, well, he tends to charge headfirst into things. #BostonTerrier #SassyDog #BarkingBoston #WoofWoofWoof #BostonWithAnAttitude #LoveMyLoudmouth #LeeroyJenkins

Getting entertained by the locals (Project 9) at a local (Tipton's in Harmony, NJ)

A little home made mushroom and Broccoli Stir Fry with a dash of Death Stalker Hot Sauce! #HomeCooking #HotSauce

"A Language Older Than Words" by Entheogenic off their album "Dreamtime Physics" The way they've woven in those samples creates such a unique and captivating rhythm. It blends seamlessly with the synths and that driving bass line, constructing a truly mesmerizing track. #Entheogenic #ElectronicMusic

My Torchbearer RPG books have finally arrived. So happy to add them to my collection of RPG books! I've been wanting to get my hands on these for ages. The concept and setting have always been so intriguing, and from what I've seen so far, they don't disappoint. #Torchbearer #RPG #TTRPG

I'm just going to leave this here and walk away. Have fun.

The intricate soundscapes are just mesmerizing. The beat is this hypnotic, pulsing thing, like a heartbeat in slow motion, but it also has this subtle, driving force that keeps you moving. #Bluetech #Psybient #Ambient #Downtempo #ElectronicMusic

On Feb 7, Bandcamp will be donating 100% of our proceeds to MusiCares to provide emergency aid for artists in need, partnering with A2IM, WIN, Harman, Lagunitas, Roland, Shure, Victrola, and Women in Music to amplify the effort. Mark your calendar & spread the word. bit.ly/4gt9ka4

Five they say, FIVE is the number of the Wheel. Five repeating creates a holy pattern. We must sacrifice to the lambent flame of fire or be cursed. Please humbly accept our offerings and leave us uncursed for one more year: www.burningwheel.com/sale/

On Friday all of Bandcamps profits go to help people affected by the LA fires, specifically musicians and artists. All my discography is pay whatever you like on #bandcamp for all of February. So if you fancy grabbing some alty indie danceable stuff, everyone wins! limneticvillains.bandcamp.com

Age yourself with your first computer

I have a brand new computer waiting to be built (think speed x1000!), a 3D printer begging to be unboxed, and a treadmill waiting to be moved and assembled. But here I am, drowning in CAD work and wishing I had time to play with any of it! #FirstWorldProblems #Someday

OMG, Pennsylvania's gone full-on fowl! 100,000 eggs poached in the Great Egg Heist! Was it a rogue hen? The Egg Bandit? Proof we're living in a cracked timeline? Whatever the reason, my breakfast is officially under DEFCON 5. #EggGate #ThisCountryIsScrambled

If it can only come sooner . . . #asteroidstrike #asteroid2032 #extinctionlevelevent #reboot #letitburn #asteroid #space #science #astronomy

Just thinking about how much I love the sound design in good psy-ambient techno. It's like a sonic journey through inner space. Listening to Entheogenic right now and it's really hitting the spot. #psyambient #techno #music #sounddesign #innerSpace #Entheogenic

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise.

YES! After weeks of "forwarding" purgatory thanks to my recent move (and Kickstarter's inability to change addresses after a certain point), Tiny Epic Cthulhu has FINALLY landed! My poor game was trapped in a Bloomsbury/Phillipsburg postal tug-of-war.

How exciting! My new 3D printer finally arrived! I've been working with 3D CAD software and modeling for years, so I'm not sure what took me so long to take the plunge. I guess my recent move to PA has me feeling inspired! Let the making begin! #3DPrinting #CAD #NewPrinter #Maker #Pennsylvania

On such a lovely day in our new neighborhood, Leroy and I decided to take a walk around the block to explore the area. As thrilling as the adventure was (I know!), he was quite eager to get back home.

It's nice out today! And the dog knows it. We haven't thrown the ball around (outside) in weeks. He's loving it now!

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live. youtu.be/VFURd_EOIuU?...

Miniatures and Music!

Hmm. Yum.

The new PC Build is taking a little longer than I would like. I'm still waiting for the case and CPU cooler. Of course, the shipping is mainly the culprit.

Easy. #EasyLikeASundayMorning . . . erm #EasyLikeASundayAfternoon

The new #PCBuild has begun. #CustomPC #TechBuild

My Friday night snack (with a glass of #bourbon in the background)

He did have a unique vision. R.I.P.

I think I'm developing ADHD in my older years. I can't seem to stay focused on one thing for too long. Curse the damn Internet.

Oof. Late nighters are just not the same as when I was younger. My body is not liking the morning after. I think I'm going to need a mid day nap!

It can be below freezing with wind chills in the teens, but that won't stop this pupper from playing ball. #BostonTerrierPlaytime

This comes from the founder of Suno AI, an AI music generator software. Of course, he's going to say this. He wants lazy people, who don't want to put any effort into their creations, to come to his site, use his software, and make something with minimal effort.

I was wondering how long it would take for the desperately seeking only fans.

And loving it . . .

Running some errands today. Stuff I should have done a long time ago, but was just too lazy to do it. I hope the #SpectraColorCoffee will help. #SupportLocalEaston #EastonPA

Pink Floyd - Animals An album that will always be relevant. #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcollection
