The type of music I play here - it's sort of a mix of #minimalism, ambient, Bach, and a tiny bit of jazz. (Since everything is improvised.)

Any good places around the PNW area this type of style might fit in?

Now that the player for teia.cafe is more stable now, we've been running it on a 24/7 livestream as a stress test to see if it can run autonomously when needed. This is a direct stream of the live app itself so feel free to use it for your own purposes as well.

I posted this before, but the power of "I don't know". It fuels artistic experimentation more than you think.

It gets dangerous once people start thinking they know what's going on. Stay hungry, folks - stay dumb. 🤪

Hey folks, we just did an overhaul to teia.cafe's API this week - it's fully integrated with TEIA's local API so the feeds should be much higher quality now.

Hey, artists of #Tezcon - many of you asked for documentation of your works at the event itself so I took a feed of the display prior to the event with the full gallery in display, here.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not an alien from another planet. This week I'll be using what's left of my product management brain cells to try to explain this whole NFT utility thing to people in...plain English. If I run out of cells, I apologize in advance. 😂

Tezos folks are just normal people looking for better ways to do things.

But I guess what makes them "weird" is that they're willing to take a chance on something genuinely new. That may be a pretty rare thing these days when most people are trying to turn back the clock. ⏳️

In case you haven't heard, Soundcloud is now training their user's works for AI now.

This is actually a chance for NFTs to make a comeback, where they're legally still not allowed, especially if you mint it on @TeiaCommunity and declare it's rights.

A month after I left LA, the fires burned down half the city. The incident was tragic, but my biggest worry was that the NIMBYs were going to double-down on their insanity, despite the emergency.

Looks like I was right. Holy crap. 🤯

I've been moving my long-form posts off of sites like these and minting them directly on-chain on #Tezos.

It's been a while since I wrote about housing. But I still believe that even now, it's *still* the #1 reason for our domestic woes, today. A crash can't come any sooner.

What is Tezcon? Something like this, but 10x better this year. We got a great venue, sponsorships, and of course, music! We're all hyped. (June 28th, West Seattle at Kenyon Hall)😁

Someone hacked the crosswalk system in #Seattle to say political messages. 😂

May be related to the new "Flipper" system that has been going around lately. Hacking - in a compact, user-friendly interface for hackers of all ages!
