Liquid Glass:
This all day. I bust out into a cold sweat every time this screen pops up.
Apple updated the Phone app. But the real question is: did they fix this?
Allowing myself some space to slow down.
Currently listening:
You can hear their friendship come through in their playing and trading of solos.
This clown car we’re all on definitely did not pass NHTSA safety requirements.
Years from now, someone will uncover that the selfie camera was the cause of society’s demise.
“Written without AI” is the new “Written on my phone, please excuse typos”
Airplane, with occasional cancer.
We should all double down on TACO. Just like we should have doubled down on “he’s just weird”.
I am salivating over these kits and fortunately they are local pickup only on the Reverb listings!
Two poignant pieces I’ve been reading over and over today:
Each piece a reminder of what’s important, and within grasp despite the bullshit surrounding us.
Clouds trying to get me while I was riding my bike.
My new Canopus (amazing drum company from Japan) snare drum arrived. 4 x 14 all maple shell with die cast hoops. It’s heavy and meaty. I hope one day to own a full Canopus set.
“Agentic” is something I want to see wiped, nay, obliterated… from all languages.
Today’s bounty.
Currently listening to the best movie soundtrack ever made.
First dust bowl like storms, now fuel shortages, it’s all fine.
Well, that was scary.
My son, when we’re putting him to bed:
Rice cookers are great, but one should still learn how to cook rice on the stove top.
Nice finish to a long ass day.
This album is too good, and so is this song.
First shower heads and lo-flo toilets, now radiation standards offend these people (bold emphasis mine):
Trump tightens control of independent agency overseeing nuclear safety
NPR has also seen a draft of an executive order “ordering the reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.” The draft calls for reducing the size of the NRC’s staff, conducting a “wholesale revision” of its regulations in coordination with the White House and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team, shortening the time to review reactor designs and possibly loosening the current, strict standards for radiation exposure.
This week I have taken the plunge to learn WMA by Pearl Jam from their wonderful Vs. album.
There isn’t much on the internet (footage or tutorials) on this song which is too bad, but also a little refreshing. I think I’m close in my pattern, I still haven’t figured out how to incorporate the hi-hat part yet with everything else going on. And I can’t sustain the pattern through the entire song (while being in time)yet so going to spend more hours on it.
A reminder.
