I make music, sometimes, and occasionally shitpost, but mostly play too much BotW/TotK and tend to be a social network recluse.
Me in my teens: How can I learn technology most effectively?
Me in my 20s: How can I work with technology most effectively?
Me in my 30s: How can I make technology work for me most effectively?
Me in my 40s: How can I work against technology most effectively?

I think my purpose in life may be to convince businesses/organizations that having free-form text input fields with no character limit is a bad idea.

I broke another one yesterday - not due to any sort of exploit, just with the power of raw, unfiltered anxiety.

It’s 1995, and l’m walking down the street while a block party blasts Bell Biv Devoe. Jerry Bruckheimer and Brad Pitt are the present buzz in the movie industry.

If anything ever happens to me, please do what you can to ensure a fitting tribute, like perhaps the belle of louisville performing a calliope dirge, backed by an ice cream truck chorus.
Ice cream truck funerals apparently produce the most horror movie ass sound you can hear in real life

So finally trying to accept and deal with moderate hearing loss as a musician is a journey - there are some things that are very much at odds with each other.

I acknowledge that there are people much worse off who do not have the luxuries and options I do. I hope that one day they can.

One thing that bothers me about genAI- so many are trying to “trick” us into using it. Apple via constantly re-enabling it, MS by sneaking it in with other tech, others with non-stop pop-ups. Opting out is like trying to cancel a magazine subscription back in the 90s, it just keep showing back up.

existential dread and the crushing weight of reality got you down? try making blippy bloopy noises with your synthesizer instead 👍

I have dealt with five different "virtual assistants" in the past three days. None have been able to help me, all have wasted my time and frustrated me by not understanding simple queries.

I genuinely appreciate talking to people, virtual assistants are a barrier... but maybe that's the point.

This popped in my head and refused to leave while I was finishing up the last few shrines in TotK
