I just updated my MBP M3 to Logic Pro 12. TBH none of the new features are that interesting to me, but it's good to keep up-to-date. #macostahoe #logicpro

I was in Tulip’s black books because I came back late on Monday night, but I think she’s forgiven me. You have forgiven me, haven’t you Tulip? I’m not sure, from the look she’s giving me now.

Last night I did some photography for Drake Music’s DM Lab in London, and I was very excited to meet the man who designed the interface for this underrated synth from @novationmusic.com - this is a photo of my own one at home. Very nice thing!

Striking a regal pose for #tuliptuesday - she loves to sit by that lamp, and it helps with the photos. Her fur is so lush it’s hypnotic.

Tulip wishes you all a fun and safe Sunday. She looks very serious in this one, but right now she’s on the floor by me, playing with an item from her feather collection.

Two years ago today, that’s my workstation during soundcheck on stage at London’s Hope & Anchor. That was cool to play at such a legendary venue.

Tulip attempts to persuade me to stay at home this pm. “Here I am, with your Mac and your Switch…stay here with us, you know you want to.”

I’m watching ‘Sky Blue’ on UMD, early 2000s vibes all round. Great animation. #scifi #postapocalypse #korean #sonypsp

Here’s Tina explaining the rules in January 2024, and Tulip putting them into practice yesterday.

I took this photo after the NAMM Show, through a bus window, on my way from my hotel to LAX. I went to that show a few times, and met some wonderful people, but I have no plans to return the the USA in the future. #nammshow #losangeles #usa #airship #blimp

Tulip says “Put em up! Nobody messes with my belly!” Actually, I do mess with it frequently :-)

I just signed this. A free press shouldn't mean a free pass to abuse ordinary people. It’s time for independent regulation that holds power to account. Sign the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation
Enough is enough. From phone hacking to harassing grieving families, we’ve seen the damage an unregulated press can do. 😡 Right now, the press marks its own homework. We need a new law to ensure fair...

Tax return finished.
Emails sent.
Cat fed.
Walked in rain (see goose pic).
Listened to some dad-rock.
That’s good enough for today.

I posted this Neil Peart quote on my Facebook a few years ago; it's more appropriate than ever, no matter what country you live in. #neilpeart #rush #canada
A screenshot from Facebook, with a photo of Neil Peart as a teenager, playing drums at home. The text is a long quote from one of his books. "And maybe the role models that we really need are to be found all around us, right in our own neighborhoods. Not some remote model of perfection which exists only as a fantasy, but everyday people who actually show us, by example, a way to behave that we can see is good, and sometimes even people who can show us what it is to be excellent. And if we ever get the idea that people from faraway places are all thugs, villains, or lunatics, we can stop to realize that we have those all around us too - right here at home. But I have found, in all the neighborhoods of the world, that the heroes still outnumber the villains."

Like Zoolander, Tulip has different looks. This is her ‘Panda’ look.

Got these two GTA PSP games at a charity shop on Saturday, £5 each with original posters and booklets. Not bad.

Tulip spends so much time pushed up against my music gear that I’ll have to give her a co-producer credit.

I was given this on Sunday (they paid £10 not £35). 1981 #sharp calculator, as you can see, with box, instructions, and plastic case. What a throwback! I like to have these things around for a while, then I'll probably pass it on to someone else. #retro #vintage #electronics #calculator
