I have a reading nook and no tv up in the barren sunless lands of Seattle. I love it here. The sun and I do not get along.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I lost the battle with myself and got a Arturia Minifreak. Trying to write my own synth in C++ on an ESP32 was getting old. It’s been decades since I wrote a song, looking forward to working with something newer than an 8 track ADAT machine

I love the mad scientist vibe when I bring up a new board I’ve designed. This is part of a brain sculpture I’m working on, it’s a 5 channel constant current LED driver with a Teensy 4.0 on it

I remember walking into a Target, seeing a bunch of locked up sundries, and walking back out again. I don't like being told I can't be trusted.
Seems like people wanna talk about all the locked-up stuff at chain pharmacies and big box stores today. Here’s a gift link to a feature I published a few months ago about why retailers started putting so much stuff behind plexiglass and how badly it’s backfired. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America
CVS, Target and other chains have barricaded everything from toiletries to cleaning supplies. It’s backfired in almost every way.

The state serving the oligarchs again.
Boycotts are speech. This is lawfare to bleed companies dry if they don’t bend the knee to oligarch businesses.

All of the myths of America — the land of opportunity; the land of the free and brave; all that shit — should never be mentioned again.
Americans knowingly voted for an authoritarian; knowingly voted for a criminal; knowingly voted for hate.
I am so heartbroken. And terrified.

Really questioning my life choices. While this was a fun little project to wire up a xylophone to midi (via Max/msp and a home built rs485 network), recording this caused me a migraine as I’m particularly noise sensitive at the moment. Do I continue to play with sound design or do kinetic sculpture
