Late this summer I got to go into the studio with @pablohutch.bsky.social & our buddy Tim to record some tunes—and our EP is up today on Bandcamp!
I feel a little weird as a middle-aged dude asking folks to listen to my band—but I'm pretty proud of these songs & would love if y’all gave em a listen

All of this while trying to convince us to buy him pet rats
Took the 14-year-old out to breakfast this morning & dude chose violence—some excerpts:
“Man, dad, your new glasses make you look like a philosophy major for real”
“You’re 45, right? So you have what, like 25 years left?”
“You’d probably like my English class—we’re reading some boring books”

Carla Hayden is an inspiration to so many in the library profession. People outside of that profession probably don't even realize how much. She certainly became an inspiration to me. She will be missed as our chief librarian.

I only played the first hour or so last night, but I think “South of Midnight” is going to be a special game & would really love all those bros trying to sink it for being woke/DEI—you know, for telling a Black story with a Black protagonist—to be summarily rebuked www.theverge.com/games-review...
South of Midnight is a game worth hollerin’ about
A game worth praise dancing for.

I thought about live posting the #acrl2025 sessions I attended like I used to, but it's so much work. So I didn't, but I was here. I conferenced.
Thanks to everyone who stopped me to tell me they loved my shoes. They are awesome and super comfy.
