Happy Wigilia!

It's snowing in Westfield, IN! You'd think it was a blizzard of North Westeros by the amount of people in the grocery store. I just needed some milk. (just saying) #WinterWeather #WestfieldIN

Nothing grinds my gears like this rental's bathroom vanity. Eight incandescent bulbs. One is crooked. One is the wrong color temperature. The inefficiency and visual chaos are too much. Looks like I am buying a bulk pack of 2700K LEDs in the near future.

To the uninitiated, the sky is chaos. To the Astromagus, it is clockwork. Three suns orbit the Cendith Anomaly, a dimensional scar where physics thins. Read the latest entry from the Archives to understand the how behind the Grand Alignment.

Our new house band has taken the stage. A cellist, a saxophonist, and a vocalist who hasn't blinked in days. They're locked in a frozen groove under the plastic gazebo, playing the quietest Jingle Bells you'll never hear. #LEGOChristmas #HolidayDecor

Did you know the COPY command has a built-in Array function? Stop using the heavy Array tool for simple lines. Here is how to use the "Hidden" Array and Fit options inside the standard Copy command.

The clear tape died. I’m now staring at a roll of blue painter’s tape and wondering if the family will accept "industrial chic" as a theme. If your gift looks like a hostage situation, just say thank you.

Making chicken soup. The aroma takes me back to my youth visiting my grandma in Newark. She lived in an upstairs apartment, and I remember catching the smell halfway up the stairs. Chasing those memories today. #chickensoup #comfortfood #nostalgia #foodmemories #familytraditions

Officially festive. The tree is lit, the fire is roaring, and Leroy has claimed the best spot in the house. Rare footage of the beast in standby mode. This is peak cozy season here in Westfield, IN. #CozyVibes #HolidaySeason #DogLife #WestfieldIN #NapTime

The Dragons are not beasts of this world. They are the Xen-Dracana, interdimensional invaders who use the Cendith Cloud as a gateway. The archives regarding the Origins of the Rift are now open on the Chronicles of the Dragon Mist. dragonmistrpg.blogsp...

The AutoCAD Ribbon was designed for people who do not know what they want to do next. The Command Line is for those who do. Here is why I disable the Ribbon, reclaim my screen real estate, and stick to the Old School ways. oldschoolcadwizard.b...

It's moving day!

Fish 'n Chips? No. Sticks 'n Bits? Maybe. How about just some Fish and Potatoes.

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

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!
