I'm not sure anyone cares, but here's my update on my desktop #Linux journey. Keep in mind, I’ve been using Linux for about 27 years, and a few were on my primary workstation. That was primarily Mandrake in like 2002-2003. I stopped using it around 2004, and shifted to Mac OS X > OS X > macOS. /cont

1000th NYT Connections

Update to the "Setlist Momentum" concept I introduced the other day on @allthings.umphreys.com. Now, instead of just looking over the last two years, we're weighting more recent performances. That also lets me show a trend (heating, cooling, stable). My hope is to bring this to @phish.net too!

Today, I introduced a new concept called "Setlist Momentum" to ATU @umphreys.com. Momentum gives a better indicator of how frequently a song is played over the last 2 years, far more useful than "ever." It's a better representation of what's being played THESE DAYS, and helpful for song chasers.

This was my Wordle board for yesterday (so no longer a spoiler) #phish

Hey King Gizzard fans, if you're not deep-diving Angine de Poitrine right now, are you even a real fan? #kglw #kinggizzard youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...

Today, I enabled the All Things @umphreys.com API. I hope people find it & do cool things with it. For now, it's compatible with the @songfishapp.com API, which also powers @elgoose.net @kglw.net @eggymusic.bsky.social @greenday.fm @neighbortunes.bsky.social and more. allthings.umphreys.com/api/docs

Ahem.

Happy 28th Birthday to you—well, us, but mostly you. Thanks for letting us keep doing this. Download this week's birthday show for free. Our gift to you. Link in bio. Mad love. ❤️ –UM

My favorite King Gizzard song? The Land Before Timeland. Wait, Loyalty. No, Robot Stop. Hold up, Pleura. Actually, Witchcraft. Maybe Dragon? Definitely Cyboogie. Supercell? Magma! Hmm. I got it: Inner Cell. Probably. 🤔

Hot take: Spock's Brain is not a very good song. that's sad, I would love to see it just for the rarity factor!

I've waited 3 years to make this post

I hate to be an old 1.0'er but I don't know that there is ever going to be a peak for me quite as high as me finally seeing The Curtain With for the first time. I remember the night at debut after a gap of over 1000 shows. This was before we knew anything could potentially be back in rotation. 1/2

Meanwhile, on the TikTok shop...

Yesterday was my birthday, and I am sad to report that I have officially entered my "multiple readers kept in multiple spots" era. #Eras

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social Thinking of you www.instagram.com/reel/DSGsdLX...

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady who's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick with that, everything else is cream cheese.

Snagged my @kglw.net 3-day Forest Hills passes and submitted my ticket request for @phish.com at The Sphere. It's a good week - an expensive week, but a good week.

Runaway Gin tonight! #Phish

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social The best ice cream flavor I ever had was called "Bumble Buzz" and AFAICT it was only available in summer `05 from Baskin Robbins. That yellow honey ice cream w/ fudge and chocolate covered honeycomb bits was TOP TIER. The internet remembers! chatgpt.com/share/6924a2...

Hey, if you're considered upgrading to a REAL pair of cans, check out Meze. The Poet, the Liric II (my fave), or if you prefer an in-ear, the Alba, are all solid choices for excellent sound.

Plenty of people have tried to write guide to "Get Into Gizz." I took a shot as well. Should the mood strike this we’kend, I hope someone enjoys: music.apple.com/us/playlist/... music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... * note: they're not on Spotify

Left my iPad on a #Delta flight. It's still checking to Find My. I submitted a lost baggage form with all the info, they say they're "diligently searching" for it. When I call, they direct me back to the same form. But I know where it is - I see it in Find My! Anyone got thoughts or connections?

@grammargirl.bsky.social really enjoyed your interview with @natanlast.bsky.social! Fascinating stuff, who knew there was such a lag in publication?

Spontaneous synchronicity at KGLW @ Electric Brixton

Omg Gizz dropped the debut of Hells Itch tonight in Manchester! I'm on a flight on my way to London to see two KGLW shows, but that was a surprise! If we're doing debuts, how about The Land Before Timeland, Catching Smoke, or Fishing for Fishies?

@bsky.app your new update turned you're beautiful iOS dark mode icon into a wonderful but very out of place bright blue one. Was that intentional?

It's full circle that I now use this site almost daily. Only a few days until I head to London for a few KGLW shows. How the turntables have... anyway, check out this recap celebrating 3 years of @kglw.net!

Thank God for Apple's walled garden, protecting us from stuff like this

I think about this a lot. There are a bunch of names that I enjoy filling in on PTI, but it's hard to imagine it without the current hosts. In fact, as much as I love Wilbon, I have to admit, even if he stays, it's hard for me to picture it without Kornheiser. www.outkick.com/analysis/wha...

@panic.com @cabel.panic.com Is there any chance you guys might offer a Transmit 5 update that simply updates the Dock icon so that it's Tahoe compatible? It's one of two icons I've still got stuck in squircle jail. Thanks for considering it!

@brianmc.bsky.social you probably saw this but... m.slashdot.org/story/447136

My favorite KGLW albums this week are Laminated Denim and LW. I refuse to apologize for this. #kglw

Change the clock through sleight of hand The river has been spanned Behold: the land before Timeland

This is helpful. Pins -> Bookmarks!

Hell yeah. Salt Shed!

Does anybody have any connection selling any London/Electric Brixton King Gizzard tickets? Any ideas @kglw.net @kglwoftheday.bsky.social ?

Why does Zoom fail to auto-update 100% of the time?

If you're a Mac user, I finally moved my list of "Essential Mac Apps" from iOS Notes to Github, where I can share it more easily. Would love your thoughts, feedback, or even a pull request, if I missed something critical. github.com/sethadam1/es...

I realize no one in my followers list wants to hear me talk about AI coding tools, but #AmazonKiro is magical. It's not even that I like it better than the alternatives, it's more like everything is generates just works the first time. (cont)

I *love* Windsurf, but it often, and I mean often, generates broken code (using any model - SWE, GPT, etc). I downloaded Amazon Kiro Public Preview, and using Claude, it's killer. It did amazing work all day.

#iOS26 public beta 2 is the worst beta I've ever run on any Apple device, ever. CarPlay is completely broken. Can't switch cards in Apple Pay. Sign in with Apple doesn't display right. The share sheet is broken in the screenshot UI. Yes, it's a beta. It's still sloppy QA and bad optics.

I'm all the way down the Gizz-hole and I don't wanna come out.

I saw KGLW twice this weekend and feel like a million bucks. My only gripe is that I have no idea how long it will be until I can see them again 😭

Say, had anyone heard anything interesting about tonight's Phish show?

I downloaded #iOS26 beta with the new design language, Liquid Glass. I DESPISE it. I don’t like the home design. I don’t like the app control design. I don’t like the new Carplay design. Overall, it’s an L. Not leaving iOS, but PUH-RAYING that iOS 27 makes some big changes like iOS 8 did for 7.

5th Avenue > Butterfinger In fact, Butterfinger is actually pretty terrible. The toffee-ish center gets stuck in your teeth w/ an overwhelming pb flavor. There's virtually no cocoa in it - the description doesn't say ANYTHING about chocolate. Side by side, it's not even close. Butterfinger loses.
