I'm still amazed that I made Erika watch the movie Freaked on our first date, and even though she hated every minute of it, she still ended up marrying me :)

say what you will about using llms for coding tasks, but creating a bash script on the fly to help organize all the bandcamp albums I just bought and get them ready for my plex server has been a breeze

The bronze statue depicting the eponymous cybernetic star of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 set-in-Detroit sci-fi satire was installed in Eastern Market on Wednesday, nearly 15 years after someone proposed it in a viral social media post.

My kids are 3 and 11 y/o. I've been like, "when are they going to play together?" And now they finally play together, and now I wish they'd stop! 😩 They're so loud.

Finally getting some time to play through Wizordum and having a blast. Definitely reminiscent of those good old first person games from the 90s. Tons of fun!

Spent the last day getting my desktop setup with a new layout. Installed Borders and Yabai to tile/style my windows. Hid the dock (I always use spotlight anyways). Switched to Alacritty for my terminal, and then used tokyo neon theme for just about everything. Feeling productive with this setup!

Glad to see that schismtracker works well in Omarchy.
And still amazed that I remember all the commands from using screamtracker 30 years ago 😅

I'm loving the look and feel of Omarchy. Everything's kind of in the same neon tokyo theme that I normally use for everything, so I feel right at home.

Not gonna lie, but the new Steam Machine does look pretty tight. And those controllers look nice.

I see Omarchy is the new hotness in the distro world. Going to try to install it on my old macbook air and see how it goes. Otherwise, I'll just probably put Mate on it :)

on a whim, I decided to try and see if claude could help build a drum machine and I'm kinda blown away. I used astro + react for the ui, and tone.js for the sounds. we built a poly-rhythmic drum machine and it actually works pretty well!
