@ahpod.bsky.social are you still over here? You're still the only thing I miss on shitter. I wish that dickhead would sell the thing so I could go back :/

And idiot playing drums in the studio

It's drum day! Despite my background being drumming, this is always the hardest day for some reason. We build a bastard super kit from all my favorites. Gretch toms, my dw kick and snare, and every cymbal on deck ;)

Updated with 19 additional bands and solo artists! 👍

Midnight Transmissions Part 3 is in the bag.

An Untidy Mind for Friday done.

Question for nerds: I need to upgrade my storage solution here, I've got a half dozen computers, a 50mp camera, dozens of video and audio projects, texture heavy 3d models... I need SPACE and I need macs, PCs, and linux machines to all have fast access. Obviously some sort of NAS is required. Hints?

I listen to this while cycling. It is surprisingly motivational!

Canyon wren

My favorite bird song comes outta this Lil fella.

An American ermine (Mustela richardsonii) half a body out of the burrow.

I got to spend time with this cute lil fella today who was living in the burrow of someone he ate and using their fur as furniture.(look it up) He was very curious!

Super weird for a white South African to be racist AF. I mean, it's almost unheard of.

Trails of color from a guy juggling glowey balls in the dark on a long exposure

Loopin is loopin

Erm, why does my profile say "invalid handle?" Am I still here? It's been quiet

Billy Joel listed 59 people in his single "we didnt start the fire." after Brigitte Bardot's Death, Only 3 Remain Alive.

Who will stop the Piano Man's reign of terror?!

Wonderful image!

The cover of the book "the bomber Mafia"

Latest read, I try to alternate fiction and non. The bomber Mafia tells a story of lofty idealism that wasn't cutting it, leading to stunningly tragic events.

"A Siberian orchestra.... But they're trans"

Might be the funniest thing I ever read on the internet. I wish I remembered who said it, but it wasn't me.

Heh, I made an avatar back in those days too and can't even remember its name, but made a new one around 2007 that is still around and having a grand ol time.

Meanwhile @secondlife.bsky.social is turning 23 :D I love that mega meta can't do what Linden Lab has done for decades.

I was in Austin that winter and it was 28 for the weekend. The San Marcos river was steaming like a hot spring.

Scene from doctor who depicting Idris

Ran the skidsteer through the paces with our first snow so I'll be ready for more.

Me: old girl's running great!

Skidsteer:

Deadly force is the only way to deal with home invaders, wtf is wrong with you?

Without getting into detail, I just said about a writer of a television show "they totally Melinda Snodgrass'd it!" (a good thing)

Congrats, @melindas.bsky.social you're officially a verb :D

A lullaby I wrote a few years back. I haven't been able to get a version in the studio that I liked but this late night version was ok ;)

J Milton Beens | Artist in Durango, Colorado J Milton Beens is an artist in Durango, Colorado. He considers his work to be modified impressionism, and he paints in oil and watercolor. Visit the studio in Durango by appointment.

I'm lucky enough to live near the amazing J. Milton Beens, a (modified) impressionist painter based in Durango, Colorado. His work oozes the natural beauty of the four corners and his command of light is almost unsettling (and he's doing free shipping from now till Christmas!)

I've always really enjoyed the TNG episode "Deja Q" it is increasingly making a case for one of the best ever. @melindas.bsky.social did you have a hand in some of those lines? The "you have achieved in disgrace what I have always aspired to be" seemed like something you'd say :)
