Oh hi folks! I’ve landed here, because apparently all the other places are terrible now. Let’s hope this one isn’t!

I’m a PDX-based musician and product manager, and mostly interested in music, technology, and saving the world from itself.

Music stuff is at gene.is

Nice to meet you all!

Also, I’m pretty sure this was the first version of the tune “stolen moments” that I heard. The original (which is *very* different) knocked me for a loop when I eventually did hear it.
Amazing album. I still have that CD… somewhere…
So Phil Knight isn't interested in buying the @trailblazers.bsky.social.

How about we follow the Packers' lead and somehow get the team to be owned by the people of Portland? B corp? Somehing like that? Could be the most Portland thing ever...
Ironically, I found out that same night in 2023 that bitters & sodas at CPA came with unlimited free refills 🤷‍♂️
Oh man. Legendary. And the world’s best deep-focus-work-accompaniment music.
Always get the special.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼
