After six or so years I finally finished the latest episode of my Liquid Water Enhancer Review Podcast, or LWERP.

Maintenance on the #jellyfin server last night led me to pay this small tribute in the 'Collections' image to a video store I was so lucky to live 'around the corner' from for many of my years in Toronto, Suspect Video.

in all the Heated Rivalry hype, I saw someone describe the j-jazz as an 'upscale dive bar' and surely they've never stepped foot.

Bit of a pain to do but finally sorted out some 'collections' in the androidTV jellyfin app for the media server.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

Really hoping it doesn't freeze too much overnight for my marathon walk in the morning. Icy and windy is the worst case scenario.🤞

Michael @michaelknewton.bsky.social · 16/12/2025
have put in 62km of rough winter walking over the last week in anticipation for not bailing halfway thru this Sunday's marathon solstice walk. feet blistered and legs sore but weather is looking do-able.

Made it 14k into my 22k walk today listening to just my own thoughts before I had to put on a podcast and go into no-think cruise control.

this is way more emo if you picture this guy, myself in 2007 - in the middle of spending eight nights sleeping on a strangers NYC floor (all to see Morrissey five times) saying this, instead of the current, fed version of me. its my favourite picture of myself sulking in the rain.

Sometimes you walk into your favourite bar after a long shift to say hi to friends and the HR person who fired you from your last job for speaking up about a drunk driving incident that should have ended the entire business is there and you just go home and consider moving away to the moon. 🤞🌚 🤏

STILL MISSING. Simba, an indoor 6 yr old orange tabby short-haired male cat with an injured front leg, was last seen Oct 3 near the corner of Auden & Eastview Rd in #Guelph. If you have any info about him please contact Julie via facebook.com/groups/Caugh... or let us know.

I recorded a new album inspired by a local landmark I often use as a marker on my wanderings (it's exactly 1 km from my home). You can grab it free from this link, I'll eventually have it up on streaming at a later date. we.tl/t-Ct6G2K4zK9

I (think) I saw a UFO as a kid and I finally got to speak about it at length on the back half of Episode 353 of ufochroniclespodcast.com , which came out yesterday. UC is a fun podcast that often reminds me of old Open Lines Coast to Coast with Art Bell segments.

Went for a midnight run because I was restless and I came across 4 or 5 skunks throughout the neighborhood. The only witnesses to my fitness-es and I'm trying to dodge them..

if it had tracked everything I heard while doing comm. radio with all the different themed shows instead of just what I physically played at home or on my phone but what can you do, It's still a fun dig into your own past.

Michael @michaelknewton.bsky.social · 24/09/2025
yeah its kind of cool you can track lifestyle thru something like this, it's unfortunate mine has a bunch of gaps where I guess I forgot about last.fm but still I can similarly point out where I was working and if I were able to choose my own music all day with this. Would love to see the data..

Interesting likely to just me, after using Last.fm to scrobble (track) my listening habits over the past 20 years, the years I was working in community radio, initially with TRP then CJRU (now CJMT) had the least scrobbles (2014-2019). I was mega overstretched and rarely listened to anything alone.

I know there's already a flag for the City Of Guelph but it should be redesigned more accurately to feature a short man driving a massive truck.

What are the odds either of the city council for this side of town use our totally unreliable and somewhat random public transit to get to a time specific event, like an appointment? Do they have any idea how frustrating it is trying to exist without using a car on the other side of the Hanlon?
