I am trying to imagine working for any company that is excited about being able to finally use emojis in file names, and the only thing imaginary me is doing is quickly updating his resume.

All the emotions you need for a character to feel fully fleshed out - smiling slightly while looking to the left, smiling slightly while looking to the right, smiling slightly while closing your eyes and facing left.

6/8 jig time (or 9/8 if you’re doing a slip jig) is really tricky for clawhammer banjo but I think I’m getting the hang of it. The song is part A from „the Blarney Pilgrim.“ parts B and C are not shown because i cant play them as well as this section. #banjo #banjofeed # clawhammer

Sorry about the rain sounds, it seemed like a nice time to play something out on the balcony. The song is „Kitchen Girl“ and the tuning is sawmill. #banjo #banjofeed #clawhammer

Somebody is finally taking a stand. Trumpets have had it easy long enough.

Driving my in-laws crazy during this visit by playing this song 1000 times a day. Song is „Five Miles From Town“ and I can’t believe we’re still limited to only 1 minute videos. #banjo #clawhammer #oldtime #banjofeed

Saw a food ingredient that said "adds powerful rubber-based effects to your meals" and assumed that would be like, I dunno, electricity resistance or something but no - a 1 in 4 chance to jump three times in a row if I take a drink. Caves of Qud always surprises me. #cavesOfQud

I found a couple of old-time and bluegrass sessions last year and have been having an amazing time.

Love this game. Stumbled across 2 unidentified artifacts, after studying them my character was able to recognize them as folding chairs. One of them is electrified, so I can equip it with a power cell to cause the folding chair to deal an extra 1 electrical damage. #cavesOfQud

Really like this shirt my kid got recently - the back tire is saying „hi! Who are you?“ and the front tire is saying „I‘m a pneumatic tire!“

At the time, the only article I could find was this summary of an article behind the NYT paywall - you can see how it only really raised more questions from me!

My doctor has decided to hang up prints of a sexy Napa cabbage all over the office, in case anyone was wondering what a Napa cabbage with boobs would look like.

I got up on stage last weekend with a group form our old-time jam sessions and it was absolutely terrifying. My hands were shaking so bad I couldn’t play the first song at all. But I’m glad I did it regardless (I am standing with my #banjo just left of center, half blocked by a mic)

So my friend is throwing an 80s themed costume party for his birthday and the vibe here is very “put on a mullet wig and neon armbands” while my vibe is more “I made a ninja turtle costume in 30 minutes.” But it’s a German party so that means David Hasselhoff is here at least.

Is anyone else unable to sign in to their Adobe account this weekend or is it just me? I'm unable to open any apps or even log in on their website. I can't find any current info online at all.
