One thing I like doing when browsing in antiques shops is to open every ancient trunk, wardrobe, and jewelry box I find to let out as many ghosts as possible.

Getting really tedious balancing the whole “no ethical consumption under capitalism” thing with the “upending huge components of my digital life every time a CEO does a heel turn” thing.

Two big wins today. Well, the types of wins that require one to step up one’s game. Kind of excited to try. 🙃

The less-good news is it’s gonna take at least three months to press. Limited edition! Because I have limited money! If you’d like to know when it’s out, join my 100%-not-Substack newsletter (and get a free song while you’re at it). 👇 scottandrew.music

Getting ready to push the button on a new release on vinyl and kind of giddy about it. (Not one of *these* buttons tho, lol)

It’s a black and white photo of me, just a boy, standing in front of an enormous multichannel mixing board at Studio Litho.

Guys. Where are the posts reminding us not to speak ill of the dead? I'm not seeing them for some reason.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

In the early 90s I once got mad at a friend who complained when we left him out of group lunches, movies, etc. We didn’t leave you out! We couldn’t reach you because you spent 10 hours a day on AOL!

Folks, I’m rebuilding my music email list. To entice you, subscribers get a free copy of my new song “The Muse (The Work Is The Wage).” Recorded in Seattle in Pearl Jam’s studio by Shawn Simmons (The Head And The Heart, Hey Marseilles). I hope you’ll check it out! scottandrew.music

Playing my first solo show tonight in maybe…12 years? Hope my voice (and lower back) are up to the challenge.

POV: you’re recording a song you wrote last month using mics that are at least ten years older than you and worth more than your house.

Yesterday I learned that there’s an actively-maintained Wordpress fork called ClassicPress that is everything I loved about WP, streamlined and without the block editor stuff. jQuery and other libs have been scrubbed in favor of web components and HTML5. 😘🤌 www.classicpress.net

ClassicPress | Stable. Lightweight. Instantly Familiar.

ClassicPress is a community-led open source content management system. A fork of WordPress 4.9, it retains the WordPress classic editor as the default option.

Scroll-driven animations that pause vertical scrolling to perform some weird parlor trick are bad. Like, how much longer do I have to scroll to get past your one-letter-at-a-time fade-in text effect? Who knows? You’re probably not the one with aggravated tendonitis!

For reasons unknown to me, this pencil stub has written six complete new songs in the past month. I am not a superstitious person, but I fear what will happen when it’s finally sharpened down to nothing.

A photo of a maroon-colored HB pencil stub, about two inches long with a big red eraser at one end. It’s lying on a sheet of lined notebook paper that is covered in handwritten lyrics scrawled in pencil.

I love this, and it demonstrates how web components can straddle the line between old-school progressive enhancement and the encapsulation you’d expect from React. Plus it solves a real-world user-facing problem that is often overlooked or deprioritized, on sites built in 1998 or today.

Last weekend I managed to pull the original untreated tracks of “Gravel Road Requiem” (a song I recorded in 2002) off an ancient Windows 2000 hard drive. Today I remixed it in Logic, replacing the FruityLoops drums with a much more sophisticated drum track. It sounds SO GOOD you guys.

My new favorite type of blog is one that began in late 2025. It is static, self-hosted and hand-rolled. It has exactly two posts: a short observation about the Linux kernel, and 8000 words about AI that immediately detonates on Hacker News.

People who dislike TypeScript must’ve never experienced the joy of debugging 20–year-old JS function arguments with names like “l” “copyOfP” and “obj2”.

So add the proxy rules then flip the CNAME. Right, add the rules, then delete the CNAME. Yes. Wait, what? No, flip it. Flip what? The CNAME. Right. Flip the CNAME. Good. And the proxy rules? What about the proxy rules? You still want those deleted? I don't want anything deleted! Not even the CNAME?

I once spent an afternoon at a company all-hands, all of us silently gazing at our shoes as our Definitely Normal CEO ranted and interrupted and shouted about how we should all be focused on shoving peer-to-peer into everything we could. Feels…familiar!

Seriously having a difficult time reconciling all these “multi-agent orchestration writes complete apps while I sleep” claims with my own experience of explicitly telling Claude not to use “@example” in typedoc comments and seeing it do that anyway.
