Can’t believe I didn’t think to Frinkiac this when I originally posted it. I’m losing my edge.

This actually works. Maybe I’m missing legit texts too but I don’t care.

Although… hmm… check out this close up. The pointy bits are chopped off. Is it supposed to be like this? I'll admit that my aging eyes and the small size I have my Dock set at makes it difficult for me to tell.

OK, now I really hate the #LiquidGlass icon treatment in #macOS26 … look at what happens when BBEdit is closed vs. open. Dumb shrunken icon in a squircle when closed, classic icon when open. What.

Well now that I'm thinking about it I went in and changed the setting. At least you can retroactively apply privacy to existing transactions.
I love this wording… "Visible to everyone on the Internet." Oh, of course I want that to be the default! 🤦♂️

Never one to back away from overly ambitious projects, I've arranged all 5 tracks from "Kind of Blue" and my band is going to perform the album in its entirety at our next gig at MetroNOME, along with a full set of originals for our upcoming Lakeland PBS TV appearance.*

Update: The package was delivered. No doorbell or knock. I just happened to look outside and see it propped against our front railing. AGAIN a hole in the box. There's ALWAYS a hole in the box. This is actually the least amount of damage I've seen from #FedEx in many deliveries though.

Finally got an adequate stand to have every #bass and #guitar I own out of their cases and on display in my "studio" setup. I wrote it all up in my latest Patreon post. www.patreon.com/posts/on-dis...

Anyway, one page of modern jazz/popular music chord symbols after over 700 pages of antiquated shit like four-part voice leading and figured bass. (This is at the end of Volume Two.)

Twin Cities folks… my band is playing an hour-long set of some of our "greatest hits" tomorrow at 10:45 AM (yes you read that right) at Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church as part of Nokomis Days. Grab a coffee and come check us out! (Our 10-song set includes 6 mashups. Watch out.)

Speaking of which, Orwell saw this coming, too. (I’m rereading 1984 right now as I do every few years, just to see how far behind schedule we are. Don’t worry, we’re catching up fast.)

Foiled again at trivia! The question was “What four letter capital city’s name is spelled entirely from letters that are also Roman numerals?” It didn’t specify national capital. I said Lviv. The correct answer was Dili, Timor Leste.

Ugh. I specifically did NOT select politics as an interest and it’s still almost the only thing Bluesky wants me to interact with. Come on.
