I've been watching this acoustic guitar by Alembic come together over the last 3-4 years...

It is now at Northern Lights Music in NH, and they produced this amazing audio sample:

Your occasional reminder that 'grok' was a fictional Martian word from a scifi novel by Robert Heinlein called "Stranger in a Strange Land."

It's sort of a reboot of the Tarzan story...

but with Martians...

...and polyamory.

Do you know what a "fork" is in chess?

It's when your opponent makes a move that imperils 2 of your pieces and you have to choose which one to sacrifice.

This is what the R's have done to the D's with the shutdown.

Protect SNAP recipients NOW, or ACA funding next year.

The choice seems clear.

Um...

I think I just invented a new religion?

Did a gsearch, nada... Maybe already in literary fiction somewhere?

"Church of Christ the Geometer" (est. 2025)

Logging for posterity, lol
(& to keep the lasagna flying)

Proposed doctrines
Words=flawed symbols
Trinity=unity of mono/polytheism

Rest in peace, Donna Jean.

It was a blessing and an honor to know and make music with you! From the time I cold-called you to invite you to see DSO in Atlanta to joining your family dinner in Florence you have been a shining light in my travels.🤍

Sending love to David, Zion, Brian and Kinsman.❤️

Random coffee scroll this 'morning':

-News article mentions Bulgaria as most nature-connected Euro city>

Wikip: Bulgaria, bordered by the Danube river to the north>

Listen to a piece I learned as a child, the Blue Danube Waltz>

Follow the Danube upstream on gmaps to Germany>

I truly love Bluesky.

May the enshitification never arrive here!

Such a breath of fresh air to not have to see ads, trolls, or engagement farms.

I passionately believe the American Dream is still in the larval stage and won't be fully born until there is no majority ethnicity.

Randomly turned on the TV and flipping through the free broadcast channels...

And catch the end of Terrapin Station as commercial bumper music for the World Series!

Unboxing upgrades 4 my Fender FR12 today. New horn from Celestion and the Archangel Electronics "V3."

A year ago I thought: this FR12 is actually a pretty cool mod platform.

What a delight to discover I wasn't the only one to think so! A.E. makes a pro-grade drop in preamp replacement!

Your occasional reminder about the SolarWinds supply chain hack of 2019-2020.

We still have no clue how much blackmail material was acquired or backdoors installed by Russia over the 8-9 months before it was discovered.

I'm guessing the White House about now must feel like a creepy reboot of the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life."

Everyone in the cabinet hoping to not be sent to the cornfield for thinking bad thoughts...

Trump followers (MAGAs) are not conservatives, they are a populist mob who have smeared the conservative label on themselves the way pack dogs roll in shit to hide their scent from prey.
