I build things. Usually out of wood. Occasionally with clay. Sometimes out of words. And with 1s and 0s at the day job. Typically listening to stoner rock. He/him www.oddpegswoodworking.com

After 3 full days in Dublin, heading back home this afternoon (and again not on my originally booked flight). Funerals are sad but it was fantastic seeing the folks who turned out to celebrate and honor Catherine. As a value add, here's a couple of terrible selfies with my brother, @robpegoraro.com

Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak, and according to this background it's going to be fabulous.

At Logan, heading to Ireland to mourn the death of my cousin, taken too soon by the cruelty of cancer. Been busy fretting about the oldest kid going off to college to really process Catherine's death until today. Y'all would've loved her. She was fantastic.

Sometimes you need to make a numerically themed playlist. Would've included "4th of July" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" but I wanted to impress the listener (me) with my #stonerrock bonafides.
Screenshot of a numerically themed playlist: One Hand on the Buffalo (The Heavy Eyes), 2 Wheeled Nation (Acid King), Three Stars (Alabama Thunderpussy), Four Points (Fiftywatthead), Five (Karma to Burn), Six to Midnight Man (Bad Wizard), Seven Seven (Graveyard), Eightball (Lamont), The Nine (Kal-El), and Ten Cent Dynamite (Five Horse Johnson)

New from the #oddpegswoodworking sawdust imaginarium - Rational Vinyl No. 2. Client requested cherry and specific dimensions and hey, look at that, I made it happen. Naming this series after one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Open for new commissions. tinyurl.com/Rational-Woman

So my 11th pan mass challenge is done! Pretty good ride overall although I wasn't feeling it in certain stretches. Wish I didn't have to ride to find a cure for cancer but here we are. Thanks to everyone who supported. www.pmc.org/jp0400

Grilled pizza last night & had leftover dough so I did the sensible thing and made a bomb ass sandwich for myself (and eventually one for the boy if he ever wakes up). Hot sauce by Rhed's, out of RI. Bacon cooked on the grill is the best. Science fact.

RIP Dragon of Ell Pond. It survived 6 winters, 1 move, 1 act of vandalism, presumably A LOT of dog pee, countless children climbing on it even though they really shouldn't have, but in the end was no match for the damper side of the pond, ants, and a pack of students hell-bent on toppling it over.

I mean, if you want a pro argument for using AI to supplement your work I suppose these two terrible sketches are exhibit A. I'm not very good at drawing shit except for metal band logos, skulls, and dragons in very specific poses. Point counterpoint is I could have put more time into drawing them.

Picked a random ass album at random from the mp3 library and when I realized I knew fuck all about it, I checked the "Artist Bio" that PlexAmp so graciously provides. And then found myself referenced. Life is weird. #stonerrock
PlexAmp app screenshot that reads: "Cuzo were formed as a three-piece Barcelona-based jam outfit in 2007 by Iván Román (bass) and Pep Caravantes (drums, percussion) - two founding members of a Spanish doom metal band Warchetype -, and Jamie L. Pantaleon (guitars). On "Amor Y Muerte En La Tercera Fase, the instrumental three-piece tries to bridge the gap between rock music and movie soundtracks by laying ambiance on top of rolling riffs and jazz-like playing. Think Stinking Lizaveta meets Zombi, without the keyboards, and you're on the right track." (review by Arzgarth@StonerRock.com). Read more on Last.fm.

Spent the long weekend grinding through Star Wars Outlaws, or as I call it, Assassin's Creed Coruscant. Fun distraction but not quite the satisfying deep itch scratch of Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, or Baldur's Gate 3 (on par with AC Valhalla or Mad Max). Also reading this, which is a fun lark.
