My 2025 music preferences had something to say...

So excited! I got my #FountainPen from Allegory. It’s made from Teak saved from the original deck of the USS North Carolina with brass details and a Jowo nib. It’s stunning!

Day 43: Duraluminum guzzles more water than the crew. We're running out. The only solution seems to be a meatwagon full of bodies and a Fremen Deathstill. Shai-Hulud help us all, the planet has me.

Everything is back together! I also now have some new area for guitars and additional seating. Hopefully back to content creation - in a slightly different format - in the near future.

Just getting into @duneawakening.com and TIL that if you so much as even TOUCH drum sand this is you.

Happy Memorial Day, y’all. The kind of vibe I have and need right now.

Y’all, I got to meet Jobu. For real. #mlb

It had been far too long since I sat in with a group of musicians I’d never played with. Looking forward to more!

I accidentally mixed a tiny bit of leftover Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil with Pilot Namiki Blue and have now fallen in love with the result. Gray ink purchase incoming? (Monteverde Ritma M Flex in Red to go with it). #fountainpens

Solidarity

Have y'all ever read the poem at the base of the Statue of #Liberty (the de facto symbol of the United States)? I think it's neat and I really LOVE the message it sends. Here's a link to the text if that's easier to read: www.nps.gov/stli/learn/h...

I got a new keyboard for work and I’m obsessively finding any excuse to type. Gateron Reds are the truth, but I’m pretty sure my coworkers are getting sick of my messages. #MechanicalKeyboards

Today’s #FountainPen is a LAMY Studio in Black Forest with an F nib. It’s inked with Noodler’s (I know, I know) Baystate Blue. I absolutely love the color of this pen, and like any LAMY if you tilt it enough it’s smooooth.

Started the studio redesign today. It went from an 8-person recording studio, to a 1-person streaming studio during COVID. Now I want to turn it into a 2-3 person podcast / live stream studio. The process is always fun and I'm looking forward to the results! Here's a "before" shot.

IYKYK and if you know, we can probably be friends.

This time I’m gonna kick that football straight to the moon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I’m driving a black TWSBI ECO M (apparently @aoc.bsky.social’s current fave) fueled by Birmingham Pen Company Emerald Fusion ink.

This combo delivers a great ink flow with a beautiful tone and HUGE shimmer. Also, it’s just fun to look at in meetings. #fountainpens

It’s Thanksgiving week here in the US! I’m remote so today’s fountain pen is my red Pilot Falcon SM with Irushizuku Momiji. I love this combo, but the small reservoir and generous nib require frequent refills. That said, this nib is fantastic for expression with just enough flex.

It’s signing day! That means today’s choice of fountain pen is a Sailor Pro Gear MF in Winter Sky. I need the ink to last forever, so it has De Artramentis Document Ink in black. This is one of my favorite combinations to write block letters with as it’s the perfect amount of feedback.

Today’s daily driver fountain pen. A Pilot Custom 823 M in Amber with Iroshizuku Tsukushi ink. I tend to reach for this one quite a bit but it’s perfect for fall.
