For quite some time I’ve had my music site hosted by Bandcamp, since it was a pretty low-friction way to get my discography up and online, albeit with some annoying limitations. Previously I had the main domain host a “micro-site” for whatever my most recent release was and then … | Continue reading

Last night I took some cough suppressant before I went to bed and remembered to run my humidifier, and when I woke up this morning I was feeling fine. So maybe this was a false alarm as far as COVID re-infection goes. OR maybe my immune system finally knows how to take care of it … | Continue reading

So, there was a COVID outbreak at my choir. At first it seemed like it was isolated to folks who participated in one extracurricular thing after the last rehearsal, but it turns out that it’s been affecting a lot of folks. We were going to have a talent show and fundraising aucti … | Continue reading

It’s been a while since I’ve compared Crowd Cow to the grocery store in terms of price and quality. Maybe I should update things based on what I’ve been buying lately and how it compares to QFC. | Continue reading

Hey y'all, since I have the album coming out on Monday, I figure Sunday night would be a good time to actually try out Bandcamp’s “listening party” biz. It’s Sunday, March 31 at 5:30 PM PDT (GMT-0700). | Continue reading

I’ve recently joined the video editing team at Trans Academy, and that team has standardized on DaVinci Resolve for all editing. Since I’ve been coming up on the limitations of Final Cut Pro for quite some time I figured I’d finally give it a try, and since I’m working on finishi … | Continue reading

Song Fight! has been going for a long-ass time, and we’re hitting a big milestone, our 1000th title. The due date for “A Grand Parade” is in a few days and I’d love to see a bunch more people submitting songs for it. Help us celebrate this event! | Continue reading

Just a little checkin on what’s going on with me, because there feels like a lot of it. | Continue reading

I managed to actually get a lot of stuff done today, and I’m feeling quite tired, but in a good way. | Continue reading

Several years ago I started an album called “Instrumental,” which was meant to be a showcase of my game and video music production skills, and a place for all of the little leftovers from canceled projects and one-off tunes to live. I’d been considering this to be “on the backbur … | Continue reading

I finally tried out a roast I’d been looking forward to, a medium-light roast of Burman Colombian Las Montanas, an EA-decaf natural process coffee. This is one of those coffees that tasted so good I just had to record my notes for later. | Continue reading

The work on my bathroom is nearly complete. The wall is patched, the tile is fixed (and it went surprisingly well with no additional damage from the broken tile’s removal), and all that’s left is replacing the baseboard and painting. I don’t even need to be without a shower while … | Continue reading

Wellp, I had another big panic attack while driving today. Worst one I’ve had in around a year, and my usual grounding and mindfulness things didn’t help. I had a vertigo attack while entering the tunnel to the I-90 bridge, and this very quickly cascaded to a full-on panic shutdo … | Continue reading

Hey y'all, I’m looking for a better way of managing my to-do list for managing commissions and such. I’ve been using iCloud Reminders since it has good integration into macOS and iOS, but it has a few shortcomings, such as being a little annoying to manage nested tasks, and not h … | Continue reading

Time to let people know I’m still alive, somewhere other than Mastodon and occasional Tumblr/Cohost. | Continue reading

I’ve been experimenting with coffee-based sodas again. Unlike last time, I decided to experiment based on the espresso kola idea. | Continue reading

I wasn’t planning on getting into VR tonight but I ended up doing it anyway. | Continue reading

This search engine seems pretty cool. So far the catalog appears to only have human-submitted feeds, though. I’ve already submitted a couple of mine, and hopefully more folks get on board with it. | Continue reading

Today the Niro became available for test drive and purchase, and I got the next available appointment. CarMax was super busy and they weren’t able to see me until nearly an hour after I arrived (ugh) but the process went pretty well.I gave the car a test-drive and found that I re … | Continue reading

A random conversation tonight awakened a memory in me, namely, back in the 90s, we didn’t refer to fursonas as fursonas, but as “personal furries,” and I had it in my mind that the term “fursona” actually started out as derisive and came from an anti-furry space. Which led me on … | Continue reading

Oh yeah, today the replacement heat bed sensor cable arrived. It was a major pain in the ass to replace. I ended up routing it differently than the manufacturer intended because the factory routing is clearly what causes the conductors to wear down and fail, and anyway doing it t … | Continue reading

Turns out it’s kind of hard to do???1 Last night I had fun trying, and mostly failing, to build a self-sustaining fire. I got a lot of advice on Mastodon. None of it worked.Today I’m trying the technique described by This Old House, which is similar to techniques I’ve seen on su … | Continue reading

BathroomPlumbing was supposed to happen today but they somehow forgot to put me on the schedule. Which I found out when I’d called the plumber to find out when they were intending to start, and they had some more questions for me anyway, and it turns out they’d meant to send a ne … | Continue reading

So whatever happened to my VRChat avatar project?Well, it went really well, so well that I decided to make it a purchasable base model. You can get it for as low as $25 (with a suggested minimum of $30). It also comes with extensive documentation about how to add more materials a … | Continue reading

“Are you frontend, backend, or full-stack?”I really hate this question, for so many reasons.First of all, it presupposes that there’s only two sorts of things that are done in software anymore: either you’re making websites (frontend) or services called by them (backend), or you’ … | Continue reading

Today I had a followup appointment with the cardiologist following the incident. He said that most of the lab results from the ER were good, but there’s a slight concern from my EKG, and of course he’s concerned about my high cholesterol and triglycerides (as well as borderline A … | Continue reading
