Almost bought another watch today. It was a rectangular Bullova with a blue face. It is being discontinued, apparently, so it was over $100 off. When I tried it on, I could understand why it was being discontinued. Its metal strap was good looking- it really worked well with the watch’s...

Give your AI a “safe word”.

The signal was totally destroyed. However, you could still hear elements from each pedal trying to assert themselves above & beyond the general cacophony. So I could easily see how dialing certain knobs back and/or cranking others could get you something wicked and tasty.

A guitarist on another board just showed me this: I’m in luv!

Let me introduce you to my “pedal clump”: I assembled this & photographed it at 2AM one day to enter a “pretty pedals” contest. I won. (No prize, just accolades.) FWIW, when asked what it sounded like, I said it was like “useful ass”. To clarify, it sounded terrible, but in a way that it...

That was sorta me in my 30s. After years of having “high normal” BP, I suddenly had BP readings of 200+/200+, completely asymptomatic. (That is NOT a typo.) After noting my diet was already considered to be “low sodium”, they tested me for EVERYTHING. My MD called me in and said my results...

You’re in my brain! I’ve been yakking about getting Holey Boards since they were curved.

I have a fine selection:

FWIW, Bill Alexander- the guy who taught Bob Ross- was German. After many years of teaching painting on PBS and in person, he eventually handed the palette over to his student, Bob.

Sometimes, you gotta buy the boring stuff to enjoy the fun stuff.🤷🏾‍♂️ I waaaay behind on getting enough decent cables, and I’ve been waffling for YEARS about actually assembling a pedalboard.

It’s not sexy, but tonight, I ordered a new practice stool. After years of use, my old one is falling apart Actually, I ordered 2: one is a duplicate of the one that’s dying, the 2nd is similar, but from a different company, and has a contoured seat. Both were slightly discounted, and I...

In other news… The rose gold Festina watch my Mom gave me years ago has died the death. The watch repairer opened it up, and it was beyond repair. Hell, one of the subsections on the face under the crystal just…detached. So today I replaced it with a rose gold Citizen. Macy’s were having a 30%...

This was recorded in 2014 for a TV show or movie (I forget which) that never got made. But the music remains. Each of the 3 musicians involved- Chad Smith, John Batiste, Bill Laswell- is a titanic talent. And each one’s vision is in evidence on the recording.

I’ve seen ads, but hadn’t heard anything about the legitimacy of the organization. Took a look.

Patches? We don’t need no STEENKEENG patches!

You know how in works of fiction, Satan sometimes appears disguised as a human while using an alias like “Louis/Louise Cyphere”, “Bill Z. Buhb”, or some such? Maybe your USA Today guy is an eldritch horror, playing with the humans. Is his name anything like “C. Thooloo”? “Hans Ture”?

Someone I used to know had a childhood mutt that was half Newfoundland, half chihuahua. He said it was a big dog with very short legs, and looked like a furry ottoman.

I enjoy memes laughter every day.
