Made quite a few bug fixes and little enhancements over the last week.
I missed this Sunday (1994) release last year but it's so very much right in my wheelhouse. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
I’m trying to spend my year thinking about how in ten years, that version of me, will be looking back on right now. Am I doing the things that make me happy? Am I living a life that I’ll be proud of? Am I being kind?
Finally got around to listening to this Patrick Stump interview/podcast and it’s got a bunch of stories I had never heard before. Really great stuff: https://overcast.fm/+ABKfnu...
Found a spot for the NFG drum head. The new office is coming together. I probably should do an updated full blog post once I finish a few more things.
Mario Universe Hard Drive Icons
LMNT:
The cast of characters in the Super Mario universe is vast. Insetting their badges on low-poly, color-coded Super Mario blocks makes hard drives look super fun. My only regret is not having 34 drives to use them all!
Oh, wow, these are great.
I have some errands to run this morning (haircut!) and then we have Valentine’s Day dinner reservations this evening. So, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get to writing a newsletter today or if it will have to wait.
Big Thursday kick this week.
It’s snowing… ❄️
I'm really loving this (kinda new) Heartwork album, 'Revisionist History,' this week. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
Yeah, that’s a pretty nice mail day. ‘Dyed’ is definitely one of my favorites of the year so far (and I had to grab that covers album).
I wrote a script a while back to calculate the number of words (and articles) I've written on this website. I use it at the end of the year to put the stats in my EOTY post. On February 1st, 2025 I decided to run it on my entire posting history. The results:
25,212 articles published
2,551,146 words written
That includes articles going all the way back to April 2002. You know, I do think it's a little poetic the first posts are about Midtown. (As cringe-inducing as re-reading them is.) Pretty sobering to think about writing over two million words though.
