I’ve been going with three artists on the Fridays I remember to post new music so far, but there are five fresh tracks that I was into this week. One of my favorite groups, Sylvan Esso, powered by one of my favorite music producers — Nick Sanborn — dropped a new track this week. Sounds […]
How I don’t use AI I don’t use generative AI to write prose or lyrics. I don’t use it to write blog posts. I don’t use it to write e-mails for me, outside of the occasional auto-complete of what I was going to say anyway. I don’t use it to create music. I don’t use […]
This week, I have three tracks from YouTube. One a track by a brand new band to me named Wishy, a 5 piece band from Indianapolis — a good rec from friend Christian. The other two are from Slow Joy and Dev Lemons. I’ve been listening to them for awhile so I’m always happy to […]

Its most powerful feature is the ability to create complex modification (macro) scripts that can perform a variety of actions when a key — or a combination of keys — are pressed. I’m going to share the scripts […]
I’ve been alive for 43 years at this point and I have been using a Microsoft operating system as my daily driver for the last 37 years, starting with MS-DOS running on a Commodore Colt PC in 1988. I have used every version of Windows from 3.0 in 1990 up until Windows 11 in 2025, […]
Sike! I saw definitely something but I don’t believe that ghosts are a thing. I really enjoy the mythology around them though, so it’s not that I’m not a ghost hater. I just don’t think that the souls if Victorian children are floating around us in forms that match the ones they had in their […]
