My mother-in-law bakes 6-8 of these sourdough loaves per week it seems. Poor me.

Two freshly baked loaves of bread rest on parchment paper in a rustic kitchen setting.

I’ve posted about Koide Cymbals in Japan before, came across another video of their hand making of cymbals, with some commentary. I love the sounds of those red hot bronze plates being transferred from a super hot oven into a water bath for instant cooling.

Today marks the last week I file for my weekly unemployment benefits and start my new gig on Tuesday. This has been a wild experience and I’m grateful to be going back to work, and excited for the actual work too. More on that later, don’t want to jinx it!

RIP, D'Angelo

D’Angelo was incredible and Black Messiah is straight up a life changing album. I spent the last few days listening to this album on repeat. His singing makes time reset to him. Here’s a snippet of a drum cover I attempted just now of “Ain’t That Easy”.

Beautiful October day, 80 degrees, breezy. Oh, and I start my new job in a week. More to come.
