Had a piece on All Things Considered yesterday! All about Nevada's official state drink (as of June), the Picon Punch. @npr.org
A contribution from Basque immigrants, 'Picon Punch' is having a big year in Nevada
The Picon Punch, a strong cocktail brought to Nevada by Basque immigrants, is having a big year. It just became the state's official drink, and a Nevada distiller is now making its main ingredient.

On the insane inaccuracy of AI and a new realization of information dystopia…
In addition to the show, I pick up freelance work to pay the billz. Most of it is audio editing, mixing, engineering, etc.. but one gig is writing SEO articles for a big brand company.

In early 2021, the federal government approved a new Lithium Mine in northern Nevada. Almost immediately, a protest camp went up in the sagebrush about 65 miles north of Winnemucca, the nearest sizable town.

When I was a kid in rural Nevada there was a 24-hr diner in the local casino. After punk shows in high school (or just any night) we'd go there and drink coffee and eat hash browns in the smoking section (still legal in NV as of mid 2000s)

Snow fully melted off the meadow. Spiders gone, now ants in the tree where I sit against to read. Fairly friendly, large black ants, don’t seem to bite.
