A tired dog is a good dog. Lungs and legs were feeling recovered after last week's bout with NB1.8.1 and we ran 4 miles.

Some draws feel like a loss, some feel like a win. This one felt like a win and a loss at the same time. Onward. #rctid

I recorded a @github.com Checkout episode with @alacolombiadev.bsky.social talking about the open source supply chain, GitHub's dependency graph, and related topics - check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGQX...

Every time I say "Is this truly the only planet we can live on?" (which is a lot, especially lately), it's because of this comic.

I recently learned about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon and, wow now that I know what it is, I'm seeing examples of it *everywhere*!

My friend vyger and i filled in a spot at the modbang monthly last night and it was a lot of fun... 130bpm bangers on the edge of industrial techno. Take a listen: ahpook.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

Beth Gibbons last night in Chicago. The Auditorium is an absolutely stunning venue and her show was transcendent.

Immaculate springtime vibes in the Pacific Northwest.

My music stream last night ended up in a pretty cool place. I picked up a new @infinitedigits.co Ectocore a couple weeks ago and really love how it can mangle samples with randomness that feels intentional. www.youtube.com/watch?v=INdz...

My favorite genres: 5. Someone in NYC in 1975 commits crimes, with visible film grain 4. This extremely good-looking person is secretly a highly trained assassin 3. David Cronenberg has some ideas about human flesh/fluids 2. A novel twist on the "grandfather paradox" of time travel 1. Blade (1998)

This Trailbalzers team is taking years off my life.

Alcest were great last night but MONO blew my head clean off. I'd gotten into them in my 2010s post-rock phase along with Explosions in the Sky, Red Sparowes, etc but didn't expect how emotional and cathartic the live show would be.

Last minute call to work Dante's tonight. I like it here a lot, but I always leave reeking of pizza, cause the 'za window is right by FOH. There's worse fates, for sure.

npm packages now have labels indicating transitive vs direct dependencies in GitHub dependency graphs and Dependabot alerts! I started working on this seven episodes deep into Season One, metaphorically speaking, but I'm happy to help it get out into the world. github.blog/changelog/20...

Welcome new followers. I regret to inform all of you that I am not Representative Eric Sorens-E-n, congressperson from IL-17, but rather Eric Sorens-O-n, music nerd & product mgr from Portland, Oregon.

I contributed to this dub-techno compilation that EZBOT organized on discord. I love this genre and tried to "namecheck" some favs in my track. Pretty happy with it came out, but wow there are some bangers from the community. Check it out (on soundcloud, sry). soundcloud.com/ahpook/ez-du...

Oh my god I just found this panel from Judge Dredd in an old folder of saved images. THE CURSED EARTH, indeed.

I made Udon with mala chili miso broth, edamame, spinach, soft egg, nori. That'll be $22 please.

Great article on the concept of "heaviness" in music by @lopatto.bsky.social and I'm pleased that one of my suggestions "won". (we all won, really, except Elizabeth's cat) www.theverge.com/2025/1/1/243...

My car has apparently reached that stage of life where each repair bill gets me calculating the sunk-cost / utility value equation. It's 10 yrs old but only 25k miles and I'm looking at an $8k failure in the DEF/AddBlu system 😳

Thinking of my dad on his birthday. Trying to remember him as he was before the crash that changed the last eight years of his life. He was a baller in the 70s man.

I just watched this like eight times in a row

Apple Music keeps prompting me to listen to the "Feel Good" and "Get Up" mixes and I just want to listen to Owlcrusher and feel bad. owlcrusher.bandcamp.com/track/owlcru...

Killer weekend up in Seattle for the Rain City Doom Fest at El Corazon/Funhouse. Soooo much doooooom.

If you see this, post a vampire and pass it on.

Everybody on SE Division right now taking pictures of the double rainbow 🤗

This Saturday! I'll be stepping out of the sound booth for my first Volt Divers set since 2019. Hope to see you there - it's free! Performances start at 7pm sharp, I'm on about 8:45 @ Coffin Club - Fair warning: it's gonna get dark and heavy.

OK, here's my Bands A-Z. I have to put it in a screenshot with alt text due to the character limit. Mostly the last 10 years, about half are shows I worked FOH for.

Attempting to channel @puddingtime.org with this one - Honolulu has squeezed the delightful kitsch of the old International Market Place into a weird little alleyway, but its spirit remains intact. (Expand for full pic...)

OK that's a pretty fuckin sick tifo, respect LAG. Minny, y'all can now join us Timbers fans in post-season misery, rooting for Seattle to lose. #MLScup #MLS #LAGalaxy

I had to leave the house by 7 to get downtown for jury duty this morning. So naturally my anxiety-brain woke up at 5am like, "might be late! Better lay awake and think about politics and ecological collapse for an hour and a half!!"

Mixing the legendary CROWBAR at Dante's tonight. Sludge pioneers still sounding tight as hell.

That was absolute bullshit, Amanda Serrano was just robbed of the win.

Just got the rack reconfigured around this new sequencer friend from Erica Synths on the bottom left. Time to bleep!

Tag yourself, i'm "OPERKITING" 🙄

"RT with the first simpsons joke that comes into your head" ... Frogurt forever

We talking theatre kids...? Because I got a whole TED talk lined up about how community/HS/college theatre tech set me up for a 15 year career as an SRE, and now a deeply fulfilling side hustle running live sound and lighting.

Humans can have a little optimism, as a treat.

RIP Quincy Jones. He engineered some of the most incredibly clean and focused mixes ever put to record. Many, many individual tracks and everything sitting perfectly in its own space. The "Off the Wall" sessions were great but my fav is "Ai No Corrida". GOAT www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVTV...

SF needs to rid itself of the robotaxi scourge. What an idiotic, annoying, dangerous nightmare to allow on the streets. This one pulled up and put on its hazards to pick up a passenger who never showed, blocking traffic and boxing the other driver in. Whyyyy

Talking about private mirrors and all things DevEx for the next couple hours in GitHub Central, stop by if you're around #githubuniverse

PDX✈️SFO for #githubuniverse - It's wild that this is my third year as a Hubber. I'm excited to see everyone and talk enterprise open source - Plus I'm DJing the community social event tomorrow night so I better see some heads nodding!

Headed to SF next week for @github.com Universe. I'm helping facilitate the community day breakouts and demoing a cool open source app for private mirrors ( gh.io/pma ) - See you there? reg.rainfocus.com/flow/github/...

Randomly stumbled into this amazing exhibition at White Columns in the Village last week - tons of Gee Vaucher's posters, handbills, etc for CRASS and 80s anarcho-punks, plus more recent large-format works like "Welcome to Palestine" (2008) (!!!!!).

PDX✈️JFK for a few days of work offsite. I had to look back over photos to pin the date - turns out haven't been to NYC since 2018.

If everything could just happen slightly less for a little while, i'd really appreciate it. thx

Saw the new 4k transfer of TERMINATOR last night. Everything except the prosthetics held up super, super well. Things I noticed in particular: perfect pacing between action sequences and downtime. The Terminator's exploitation of cop power to gain advantage. More: boxd.it/7gpPB3

A quick reminder from #xoxofest :

Maiden voyage for my new Yaeltex controller last night - it worked flawlessly and was so much fun to use!
