Eater and drinker. Wanderluster. Film and video pro. Rush (the band) nerd. Trying to be a better person every day.
I switched from T-Mobile to Visible Wireless – a prepaid mobile service that is owned by Verizon and uses the Verizon network. After two months, I can report that the Verizon network in the Philadelphia area (where I live and work) is far slower with far worse coverage than
T-Mobile. Disappointing.

It’s a waste of time to spend any energy fighting the Thursday night NFL game. It’s not going away. Ever. And I have heard several players say that they like playing on Thursday night.

I was saddened to hear that New York Jets legend Nick Mangold died this past weekend of kidney disease. I had the pleasure of working alongside Nick a couple of times for TV projects and he was very kind and gracious. I know he had children and that’s the worst part of his passing at just 41. RIP

And if he’s doesn’t take ANY job, they would be paying 100% of the remainder of his contract. It’s not a “buyout.” It’s what he’s owed on his contract. That said, he needed to go.

Curiosity got the best of me and I installed #macOS #Tahoe Public Beta on my M1 Max MacBook Pro. I opened a Final Cut Pro project to see how it would perform. It’s terrible. I kind of figured that would be the case but I wanted to try it. Reverting back to previous OS now. #FinalCutPro

Ten years ago I was at the LA Forum for the last Rush show ever. What an incredible ride. #Rush #RushTheBand

I’m really glad I got to see Ozzy a few years ago. Incredible show. All killer. No filler.

Spinning the 40th anniversary pressing of Rush’s iconic 2112. My Klipsch Heresys were made for this kind of record. #vinyl #vinylsky

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

My three favorite watches. I haven’t worn anything but an #AppleWatch since it was introduced ten years ago but my old fossil keeps tempting me!

This is the newest April Fools' day skin from Dbrand called Touch Grass. It's a limited edition skin that you can actually buy and is a bit like putting a softer type of Astroturf on your tech. It's a goofy bit of sensory overload and, to me, it counts as going outside.

Working at the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center this weekend. Time spent at the sports complex is always a hoot.
