Version 1.21? Really? After 31 years? Maybe it’s time to add markdown support and bump it to 2.0 and make it actually useful.

@panic.com humble request for the great Nova editor: let me have my fancy typographic options in Terminal windows, not just Editor windows. I have strong, Mac-assed preferences! ❤️

Talk about enshittification. I can’t even open Photoshop, an app I pay a fortune to use, without getting some obscure AI-related error. It’s absurd.

One of my favorite part of owning old records is when the original owner has written on (or in this case, underlined) it! Typically they’ve also put their name on it. Records were so personal back in the day.

"Having removed his foot from the door and returned to his native soil, Herbie lost little time in assembling an intriguingly different group that employed four of the men he had taken with him on the African tour-bassist Nabil
"Knobby" Totah, drummer Rudy Collins, vibraphonist Johnny Rae and veteran jazz trumpeter Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham,
- with a bongo and conga drummer, and three additional trumpets: Siggy Schatz, Jerome Kail and Leo Ball. The strengthened percussion section, with Ray Mantilla on conga and Ray Barretto on bongos (he is heard on all tracks except Dearly Beloved and Fife 'n Tambourine Corps) gave the combination a striking blend of tonal and rhythmic qualities."

Adobe just doesn’t give a shit any more, do they. Capital X, lowercase X… anything but a proper multiplication symbol. This from the industry-leading design tool.

I have one printer here. I don’t even understand this. Maybe no one at Apple prints any more.

I lack the maturity not to make a joke about this, so I’ll just leave it here.

In the end, it’s stoopid shit like this that’s having me move my biz off @notion.com. Blog posts on your site as placeholders for the real content at the nazi bar? No thanks. I’ve heard enough.

I will be playing records at Keys Lounge this coming Wednesday from 6 to 10 PM. Would love to see you there.

I guess AI has improved a *tiny* bit over the last 13 years.

This suggests to me a UI in need of improvement.

Soul, jazz, and some disco? All on vinyl, this Wednesday.

So I’m also playing records this Wednesday evening at Keys.

The Berkeley Mono font makes the craziest three-character ligature in my terminal. Amazing. Love it.

Ray Brigleb @brigleb.com · 07/01/2026

OK I thought of something! I use a "nerd font" variation of JetBrains Mono (excellent) with the `eza` replacement for the system `ls` command, and the icons are always sliced off in the terminal. Not sure if that's fixable, but I notice these types of issues a lot in the Nova terminal.

In honor of my Apple Music summary, I'm going to play almost exclusively Jazz on Saturday Night at Radio Room. Probably not four solid hours of Eddie Harris and Ramsey Lewis, but you never know.

010

Ray Brigleb @brigleb.com · 04/12/2025

Evidently, I listen to a lot of jazz. Like a lot.

Should you wish to get out this Saturday, you'll find me at Radio Room, playing some fantastic tunes on old-school records. #portland

Just playing some records on my way back from the NO KINGS protest this weekend! Swing by if you too could use a stiff drink.

The family saw "Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons" at the Schnitz yesterday and it was seriously a ray of sunshine in a year of depressing news. ❤️ Mr ConcernedApe himself even came out!

Ray Brigleb @brigleb.com · 21/08/2025

You OK over there, Apple? I'm getting worried.

Ray Brigleb @brigleb.com · 15/08/2025

Tomorrow night. Will not disappoint, #portland!

For your consideration this weekend.

Picked up Eddie Harris' Come On Down! at Dig #Vinyl in Portland over the weekend for ten bucks. Kind of a lost gem. Good background music while you're writing or coding.

Ray Brigleb @brigleb.com · 16/05/2025

Playing a bunch of records at Radio Room tomorrow night in #portland!
