I am an archaeologist and black belt in karate living in Burlington, Ontario, with my partner Bill. I hope to see people I have known online from the last 25 years of social media on this great platform.

I saw Nitzer Ebb open for Depeche Mode in 1990, on their own in 1992 and 2019, and then headline the Terminus Festival is Calgary in 2023. Big fan since 1990 and sorry to see that Douglas McCarthy passed away today - what a loss.

I've watched this Ebb performance from 1989 several times over the years. The energy and crowd response has always been inspiring. Such a force on stage.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Terminus Festival 2025 line up is posted on “that” social
media site (“DEI-doesn’t-matter”-book). Can’t wait to return to Calgary to hear new artists and see Sacred Skin again! Plus the veteran artist to co-headline is Front Lone Assembly. Great stuff! On terminus-festival.com soon too, I hope.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

Is it worth stealing? That's an antiquity. Does it cost more to examine it than it's worth? That's an archaeology

Anybody watching Severance on Apple TV? No spoilers, but I have a Season 2 prediction - I think Helly’s innie no longer exists and it is her outie masquerading as her at work. If you don’t watch the show, I imagine that sentence will make no sense to you whatsoever 🥸

Who is your celebrity “Birthday Twin” (born same day as you)? Answer with pic or GIF only. [Cheating hint - it is the character portrayed, not the actor].

I have gone to this music festival for the last three summers in Calgary. Great venue, great organizer, great crowd, and great music (post-punk, industrial, and various other alternative genres).

Good evening all! Although I know that Facebook’s DEI erasure and allowance of harmful language towards 2SLGBTQIA+ is starting in the US and may or may not make its way to Canada (but it will), I cannot let Meta have any of my ad dollars and so I am leaving for BlueSky. I hope to see people here.
