Calling on the collective brain trust: In the aftermath of prepping for the last video, I am now in possession of a large number of beautiful/cool/interesting album covers on card stock, about 3 1/2 inches square. Any ideas on what I should do with them?

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION TIME: What are your favorite album covers ever? Go! (Why yes, I did create a massive pile of bespoke cards for sorting purposes—this is a teensy fraction thereof—but I kinda want to skip the video and just play with them because omigod sooooo pretty)

I swear, one day they're going to find my withered husk hunched over my laptop with a half-edited video on the screen, while my ghost fusses over the same three frames for the rest of eternity. #perfectionismequalspain

The wait is over: new '90s alternative countdown video is LIVE! In this episode: the peculiar effects of the Kurt Cobain Effect, the art of the alternative epic, and an attempt to summarize punk in under 30 seconds (accuracy not guaranteed). Hope you like it!

The problem with saying “I’ll fix it in post” is that you then have to fix it in post. #Iwantanewhobby

There are YouTubers who specialize in visual montages of film scenes, under the banner of "The Cinematography of" or "Beautiful Moments from". As a creator who routinely has to hunt down HD-quality movie clips, I say to them the following: You are my favorite people in the whole wide everything.

My intentions of hitting the ground running on this Bluesky account have been thwarted by the reality that it's a Tuesday and I've been up since 5:30 a.m. Opinions are tenuous, reckonings are few, and the coffee isn't helping. Good morning!
