Big announcement! While I am looking for work and teaching, I've taken some of my free time to put together a collection of tracks from my thesis work at NYU and am releasing them on vinyl instead of being sucked into the application tracking void.

A couple of weeks ago, my nibbling stayed at my house overnight to watch my dog. It is obvious that teenagers were here because all the trash in the guest room is 7-11 hot dog boxes and wrappers from Mr Beast Feastables.

While I definitely care about politics and how horrible everything is, I can't pay attention right now. I will vote the right way, and I will get enraged when I hear what is happening, but it is all going to make it to me anyway. I can't watch or listen to the news or pay attention to social media.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Say what you will but I’m still the most powerful man in show business.

Bootleg of the year.

This Kendrick performance is way better than that time I saw Slum Village from behind during the half time at a Pistons game.

These are some of the worst commercials I have ever seen in my life.

I can’t hear you lalalala ::bury head in sand::

I wonder if there’s any historical precedent for a strongman, obsessed with notions of racial purity, rapidly making claims to other sovereign territories.

Zima (1993-2008): Riding the clear beverage craze of the early 90's, this sweet alcoholic beverage was marketed as *the* hip drink of choice for a time. Revived for special re-releases in 2017 and 2018, it maintained a following in Japan, where it continued to be made until 2021

Joe Biden seems pretty good right about now, huh?

Meta tracks your activity across millions of websites and apps, regardless of whether you use its platforms, and profits from that data through targeted ads. Here’s what you need to know if you want to limit the company’s ability to harvest and profit from your personal data.

I’m scraping a living together in academia at the moment (teaching part time at CCS IRL and at MCAD remotely), but still applying for full time gigs. Consider this another call out to my friends/connections that I am still looking for work and let me know if you have anything I might be good for.

Considering getting a Peanuts tattoo and right now it is a tie between the kite scene from A Boy Named Charlie Brown as an armband or this panel of a young Lucy eating a record.

The biggest difference between a Tesla and an electric Volkswagen is that Volkswagen isn't run by Nazis ANYMORE.

I didn't get the memo that CCS was closed today. Usually, I get a billion texts and emails but for some reason I didn't this time. I pulled in and was like “Why is there a ton of parking? Why are the doors locked? Why is nobody in the office? Why is nobody on the floor?”

being 25 and having a video on mtv alongside so many other girl-led bands in the nineties still seems like a dream

Life update: Started back at CCS last week. I’m teaching an undergrad class, administering an independent study, developing a creative tech elective, and taking advantage of the fact that I can take grad level 3D printing for free. Also start teaching an online grad class for MCAD tomorrow. Whew!

Honestly you guys are making it much harder for me to bury my head in the sand for the next 4 years.

A reminder to double-check every knee-jerk reaction from an unknown source online, especially if it aligns with your bias.

2024 was brat, but 2025 is here. Get ready for Mama’s Family Theme Song summer.

seasons greetings in our soul yummy fruity pebbles in a bowl

Do millennials know how good the lemonheads are

I applied for some Amazon UX job that said it was in Milan Michigan, and I was like “okay weird but whatever,” but now I am getting a bunch of emails about it in Italian so I think they meant to make it Milan in Italy. My-lin and Mah-lahn are very different places

I was going to try and get a ton of things done today, but idk just feeling kinda worthless. So I'm gonna play Tetris on the couch and try again tomorrow.

I just saw somebody with a bumper sticker that says “I was an honor student. I don’t know what happened,” lock their keys in their car in the Target parking lot.

Try to get into another extremely competitive grad school program? Sure, why not. What else am I gonna do.

I know people think AI is important and all, but Nintendo released an alarm clock this year called Alarmo. How is that not the ultimate tech story of the year?
