There's an appliance in your kitchen called a refrigerator. If you open it, you might find various items inside. These are collectively called *food*.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

In my experience, the biggest companies with the most money are also the most clueless about user experience and developing intuitive software.

Someday I'll finish setting up my new Patreon page! It's a bit of a slog to set up, but I want one centralized place to make announcements, publish the occasional blog post, stuff like that. Most of it will be free, and paid content might include synth patches or bonus tracks.

I don't know how to explain how much this song means to me. The countless hours listening to this track lead me on my musical journey that connected me with friends, found family, and loved ones, tangentially pushing me into the VR space, and later pushed me to pursue my career in Space. So happy 🥲

Working on some music, and I unintentionally created a synth patch that sounds a lot like the opening to Major Tom. Alrighty!

IT'S HAPPENING! I got official approval from Warner Chappell to release my brand-new piece: Uncharted Worlds - Extended Version. Now over 4 minutes of music, starting off with a slight twist on the original, then drifting off into new musical territory. More details soon!

People who automatically assume text is AI-generated because it uses em dashes really annoy me. I've been using them LONG before AI. I've even memorized the Mac keyboard shortcuts for en dash and em dash. (Yes, I'm a nerd, and a man of culture who knows how to use an en dash) 😆

So yeah. Apparently, posting on Bluesky is not the way to find an artist. Lots of bot/scam replies, only a couple legit ones. How the heck is one supposed to find an artist these days?! Even on ArtStation and other portfolio sites, I see so much AI artwork. I just don't trust most of these folks.

Tonight's the first time this Kavinsky tribute piece ("The Final Call") finally sounds like everything has gelled together, and I no longer hate it. 😅 Now it just needs an entire beginning.

I always try to briefly acknowledge the deaths of artists, but don't always feel deeply affected by their passing. But this time, my heart sank as I read the news. RIP Vincent. I'm sad that his life and amazing potential were cut short so early.
