For regular shoes, a friend introduced me to the Sketchers outlet store. It’s a blessing for wide ol’ bunny feet. Pretty good prices and lots of selection.

My mind is blown today learning that Charlie Hunter, a musician that's always been just overwhelmingly impressive played on Voodoo, maybe the seminal album of Neo-Soul. The video starts with his part on Spanish Joint. Skip to 9:10 to hear his wild part on The Root. www.youtube.com/watch?v=78ZZ...

Guilt is really weird and complicated. I’ve been working on this too. Exploring the idea of guilt as perceived debt, and asking myself, “What do I owe the person I’m feeling guilty towards?” Often the answer is not, “upending my wellbeing to make them feel like I’m doing enough.”

Is Chef Boyardee still a thing, or does permanently etched-in shame about how many cold raviolis I ate straight from a can in my younger days cause my subconscious block it from my vision at the grocery store?

If y’all don’t know, Moon has put together a fantastic show of furry music at a very cool West Seattle venue. The hall is easy to get to with easy neighborhood parking. Come support art in your community!

My favorite is, “why don’t you just…”, which generally means, “I have no grasp of the complexity of your situation or how much thought you may have put into it and assume you hadn’t considered…”

I’m excited. We moved to Seattle two years ago and spent the entire time making a fixer-upper watertight again. We’re finally settled and I feel like I can start being social, working on music and other projects, and start exploring. The biggest challenge is trying not to do everything all at once!

How much of that is people our age not showing up, and how much is just the swell behind us getting bigger as the fandom becomes more popular? I suspect it’s more the latter than the former.

What a racket. Years ago I watched the otherwise reasonably managed city I lived in get wooed by developers: “But it will bring in So Much ‘Business’. Don’t worry about the traffic.” People voted to tax themselves so the billionaire owner could get that shit built at a huge discount. Wild.

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

When I was very young I won tickets to the world premier of the Dick Tracy movie at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by being the nth caller to a radio show and playing a riff from a Salt N Pepa song on my violin for the DJ, if you can call any part of that “winning”.

Griffith Park observatory and La Brea tar pit museum were favorite school field trips. The tar pits are surprisingly interesting. I would recommend Disneyland, but you could go to a nice resort in Hawaii for a long weekend for less money, so value depends on nostalgia. :)

What’s at the Hollywood Bowl when you’re there? Bugs Bunny conducted there. Or the Walt Disney Concert Hall? You could make a pilgrimage to Norman’s Rare Guitars. See who’s playing at The Auld Fella (Culver over Wilshire) when you’re there.

Depending on where I’m staying I never miss Brent’s in Northridge or Canter’s in LA. Best Delis anywhere. :) Venice Beach is great and weird. Santa Monica if you want a less eclectic boardwalk vibe. I know it’s kitsch as hell, but I’ve always regretted not making time for Medieval Times. :)

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Post a picture you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed
Looking straight up through automotive glass at the west tower of the westbound Tacoma Narrows bridge on an overcast day. The tower of the Eastbound side is also visible. Suspension cables from both sides slice up the image.

That’s wild. Kids in the office? I haven’t seen that, though we’re very tolerant of folks leaving early to pick up kids from school. I hadn’t thought about it, but that’s what the people on my team do.

I just watched an interesting video about the psychology of “Generation X” being shaped by being “latch key kids”. It didn’t occur to me that it wasn’t still a thing. Do kids not come home to empty houses from 3-7pm every day anymore?

Heat that came (I mean I know it’s AWS so there’s more than just AI there, but in part) from AI that we don’t need. And all we had to do is build giant ugly warehouses in the middle of town and take more than 3,770 MWh of power from the massive power infrastructure to be able to do it.

Collings @collings.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Look at what a good thing we done. We sold 3770 MWh of excess heat from our AI data center in Dublin in just the first year. You heard that right. One data center in Dublin generated 3,770 MWh of excess heat in just its first year. www.codema.ie/our-work/tal...

Such a great book! Avoid the film. It’s a very disappointing (enraging, even) film adaptation. It’s all machine guns somehow! Genuinely angry about the missed opportunity.
