If you are fed up with Spotify, Apple Music, or are doing the whole #resistandunsubscribe thing, TIDAL is a great alternative. TIDAL pays artists better than Spotify, the recommendation engine is choice and streaming is often high-fidelity. tidal.com

When I first heard Macha & Bedhead's cover of Cher's Believe in my friend's bedroom in 2000, I thought it was the most clever cover I had ever heard. It still stands as one of the greatest covers an indie band has ever done. Reissued this past week. #indiemusic tidal.com/track/478331...

Going live at 6pm PST on shadypinesradio.com with an eclectic mix of new and old school #indiemusic. Tune in to hear new music from Modest Mouse, Kim Gordon, Rostam, Cameron Winter, Matt Berninger and more!

The last photograph I shared was processed entirely in an app I'm developing. The past week I broke everything and put it back together again to make an image editing workflow that makes more sense to me than traditional apps by making the process modular using effects chains!

Portlandia really looks great this time of year, doesn't she? #photography #fujifilm #pdx Prints: https://stephen-belovarich.framer.art/image/portlandia-watches

First photo solely edited and shared from my new app 🎉

Making progress. Now the user can apply LUT, edit aspects of the image for #photography & #video. I figured since I already had sharp and ffmpeg as dependencies, might as well make a GUI to leverage those libraries. Not a NLE, main use to non-destructively preprocess footage for a project.

This one is for the night owls. Taken this evening: a murder of crows blanketing the skies above the Steel Bridge. Goodnight folks! #photography #fujifilm #pdx Prints: stephen-belovarich.framer.art/image/murder...

Making progress on this app that allows you to catalog #photography, audio, #video, apply metadata, share, open assets in your editor of choice. Hoping to release later this year for Windows, MacOS, Linux. I was tired of leaning on cloud services because Big Tech is nothing but a disappointment 🤷‍♂️

App development is coming along. You can view image assets and their metadata, rate and share images, find and sync assets across your filesystem, and one thing missing from #photography apps: custom weather reports. Adding support for video assets next.

How the sausage gets made these days.... Built an app to rid me of cloud based services. It helps manage my #photography library between computer and NAS. I can import from camera, edit in a photo editor, import final edited photos into the collection, edit metadata, and post.

Came down with a bad cold so I spent the day building a web app that can replace Adobe Bridge in my workflow. It not only lets me browse photos in my collection, change their metadata, but I can import direct from camera and find ideal times to take photos. #photography

TIDAL just did one thing Apple Music never could. Recommend an album I've never heard by an artist directly associated with bands I listen to. A deep cut from the Elephant 6 legend: Will Cullen Hart. It... was... released... posthumously... last... year. 😱 #indiemusic tidal.com/album/421688...

Just replaced my old Adobe Bridge import workflow with a node.js script. The transition is almost complete.

Purged Amazon from my life. Not looking back.

Today’s version of a Conscientious Objector is the type of person that rejects Big Tech.

Apple has pissed me off so much. My next computer is going to run Linux. Lack of standalone licenses for creative apps on iOS, Siri doesn’t work, bad experiences with tech support in store, over chat, on the phone, but the kicker: The CEO dined with fascists after they executed a man same day.

Yep. Sippin’ on rat juice.

I suspect Stephen Miller is hanging upside down right now sipping on the blood of D.C. rats through a straw, considering his next move.

We’ve gotten stale creatively as a culture, and that typically means we’re on the precipice of a renaissance.

Who wants to start a band named Nation of Children? I call bass.

What fresh Hell is this? Can’t read the reply in Gmail, but I can sure read Gemini’s shitty summary.

It’s predictable no one in power is able to meet the moment. Real leaders are in short supply.

Desperate times in Portland. We still have a humanitarian crisis on our hands. #photography #fujifilm #pdx

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day as ICE terrorizes our Nation’s most impoverished of neighborhoods, take some time to contemplate the fear or complacency that makes you or others remain still. Now is the time to fight for the rights of the most vulnerable. We must not sit and watch the Dream die.

It’s pretty clear common sense is dead and reality a figment of the imagination.

OK, yeah first impressions of Pixelmator Pro are solid. I can access photos on the NAS, native Apple feel. Color tools are very familiar from Final Cut, there's a good batch of FujiFilm LUT and more color profiles to explore.
