Probably no FC for me. It’s been a rough week & I’m home watching a Depeche Mode concert

For me, Flea and his music is a guiding star. If you have ever vibed with his music, check out at least this first song, A Plea.

There’s smth about this exotic chocolate & thick carmel valley chardonnay that I’ve been nibblin and sippin these last days that make for long, lurid dreams. Real batshit nonsense like a reactor supplying more power than NYC going haywire & me running the parkour of my life tryin to get away in time

It’s been raining for days & I haven’t ridden so I spent time in the garage resurrecting an amp project. I had to pull a bunch of filter capacitors & scrounge some other parts to build a dual rail supply, so it cost nothing. I’m listening to it now. Sorry, I took no good pictures of the guts.

This is how I spent my New Years, building yet another phono stage from parts on hand while I wait for a Mouser delivery. I’ll be back at work on Monday, I don’t have a chassis for this, what even am I doing

Last year I donated to a nonprofit serviced by Flipcause & even paid their processing fee. It looks like that money never got to the charity! Thieving techbros! They should be put in jail.

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!
An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.
✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

For my last photo post of 2025 I think I'm gonna lock this in as one of my favorite overall shots of the year. Taken in almost complete darkness in brutally cold, windy conditions on my California trip.
