stevie wonder is one of those artists that I can see why they're considered a genius and why people love their music but it just doesn't do it for me and I don't want to hear it if I can help it

a couple days ago I saw a baby sandhill crane hopping in a very funny way trying to keep up with the parents who were walking normal style

these 12' x 5' windows hung in a church near Whitewater, WI for 80 years until they spent the last two years hidden in our shop because we didn't have anywhere to display them. today I designed and built a system to mount them in a garage door opening and still allow us to open and close the door.

2 bass amps is so fun. you can run one with all the fuzz/distortion pedals that kill the low end and then bring it back with the clean amp

Acoustic b100 is so good. I run my moog matriarch through two of them in stereo and it sounds enormous. our cello player got one too.

band practice is so great. yeah it's fun to play shows and make records and stuff but what could be better than chillin out with your friends and maybe playing a little music while you're at it.

most decent-sized cities have a leftist org that prioritizes helping people who are most oppressed by the system. their specific flavor of communism/anarchism matters a lot less than the fact that they're out there every day giving socks to unhoused folks and protecting them from cops. find them.

my most xennial trait is that I'm constantly switching between "it's stupid and probably harmful to arbitrarily assign traits based on birth year" and "yes I'd love to watch another tiktok where one person does both sides of a conversation between a boomer and a gen z'er"

I read an interview several years ago where he sounded like he was pretty tired of touring but felt a responsibility to continue to provide an income for the 20+ people in his band/road crew and their families. I'm not a big fan of his music but I admire him for that.

when a problem doesn't have an obvious solution, old guys around where I'm from liked to say "we gotta do something, even if it's wrong" and now I say it pretty often too

just saw a cybertruck up close for the first time. unfortunately I couldn't tell the guy what I thought of it because I'm at work and we were loading a piece of furniture into it. but I pretended not to notice and acted like it was a normal chevy or whatever which I hope was hurtful in its own way.

saw a cool frog. it's either a gray treefrog or a Cope's treefrog. pretty sure I've never seen either one, definitely not in the lumber stacks at my work.

if this is ableist please tell me to shut up but I'm thinking about how alt text is cool because instead of an ai prompt it's some words you type in an attempt to generate an image in the holy natural intelligence of a human being's imagination maybr I'm just high idk

it took me a few tries but I finally got my bedroom furniture arranged in a way I like a lot, only to be told it's bad feng shui. sorry I'm not that worried about ghosts getting trapped in there or whatever.

a few weeks ago I decided to eat healthier. I was doing a good job. this week I got busy and slipped back into my old diet of frozen pizzas and gas station food. now I feel like crap. I never felt this way when I was eating garbage all the time. don't believe the lies. keep eating stupid forever.

I wish this place had video. I've been going through a good stretch of being inspired to do more analog video art & being happy with the results. I made a tiktok account where you can see these move and hear the music I make with them.

this is a bit of a milestone for me. I've done a bunch of live video at music venues, and I'll continue to do that, but this will be my first time doing it in an art space, and it's part of a series of film and video events. I kinda feel like a Real Artist now.

doing some farmhouse archaeology today. in general our focus is on salvaging lumber and architectural details from old buildings that are going to be demolished, but usually the buildings are full of cool old shit, so we kind of accidentally became an antique store too.
