Last night, I watched a horror movie on live TV titled "Sweet 16". Today, my weekly LinkedIn post analysis states that my most popular post is from April 11, 2025 when I wished a Happy Sweet 16 to my first album. #Synchronicity?

Slightly creeped out but not surprised. Editing a music score on my laptop recently adding an instruction to play the piece "robotic". I logged into Indeed later and first job recommendation: Robotics Operator. Is Indeed #scraping my recent documents for keywords?

Happy Birthday, Robby Krieger and Jimmy Page. Consecutive birthdays and early influences as a guitarist. The two musicians who turned me onto DADGAD, demonstrated on the first Batwanger album in a jam including "The End" and "Black Mountain Side".

Will you say goodbye

1/2: "Massive Elves" comes from "Mass Ave. elves". "Elves" has been my personal slang for Berklee students since I realized that "Berklee" is an anagram for "Keebler". The piece was created by converting "Berklee" to a tone row using the musical cryptography that I developed for An Equal Sea.

1/2: A week ago, I came across a sketch for a composition that I barely remember writing almost four years ago at the Copley Square Library in Boston, a great place for laptop composers to work if you have a good set of headphones.

Finally managed to sneak in a few breaks from the real world to revise "Zappacrite" for the first time in over a year. Still far from finished but I managed to add an extra minute to the fourth movement, "Errs a Parent".

Boycott #ebay. They #outsource their customer service to an "offshore" company that suspended my 26 year old account on the premise that they couldn't verify my account. I could barely understand the broken English of the customer service person.
