Check Out This Song! I've enjoyed Xavier Rudd for years (I wrote about a different song back in 2020). I love the positive energy he creates. In this time of rage and invective, I appreciate his message of unity and kindness. This song is not new, but I recently found it, and it clicked. I've been playing it a LOT. For me, there are songs that resonate at certain times.

Thought it was a pretty hectic day, it did serve as a good reminder that I am fond of #techsupport work. But I'm wondering what's up with the cosmos today. How many printers can crap out in a single day?

Emerald City Comicon 2026 I went to Emerald City Comicon on Friday, March 6. I've been meaning to go for decades. There's always something, some reason, some conflict. I finally felt compelled to go. It helped that I'd talked with several other folks, so had accountability partners, including my wife. I'm so glad I did. It was an awesome experience. Below are just a few thoughts on finally going.
