R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I realized yesterday that there’s a 1000% chance that executive leadership at my employer Is going to start (and probably has) saying “Super Intelligence” and I got so preemptively angry about it. 010
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I wish Teams and Zoom had an option that whenever I drop from a meeting that’s a waste of my time they would broadcast the sound of a telephone being slammed down on the receiver. 000
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Still buzzing from this. It was everything I hoped it’d be. #synthsky #eurorack 151
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The inaugural Patches & Kolaches Modular Meetup, in Austin, Texas, was a massive success. This will be a monthly event going forward. Apparently I’m now officially an event organizer. 120
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As an undergrad, I was friends with a fellow transfer student who, near graduation, told me that he should have joined a frat. I tried looking him up a few years ago. I stopped looking when I found his guilty plea in a CSAM case. 000

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Apart from one bedroom where we have a portable AC set up, it hasn’t been cooler than 83° in my house for a week. The portable can’t cool the entire house but I’m hoping that I can make things more bearable by running it in dehumidifier mode. 000

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Little did I know when I awoke this morning that today’s tasks would include driving an hour and a half to behead seven roosters for a Buddhist and then driving back home. 000
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I’ve never messed around with sampling, but this is begging to be sampled and put to a beat 000
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 23/09/202694° out and my so’s my AC (out, that is). 85° in the house. Ceiling fans can only do so much. I was hoping to escape to an air conditioned coffee shop for most of the day but my truck has a dead battery from not being driven in two weeks and my wife has the car. 002

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Welp, today I said goodbye to my father for the last time and helped scatter his ashes on the hilltop overlooking the farm where I grew up. 100
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I’m glad that a few of these brick streets, probably laid down in the 1940s or earlier*, are still around. *my grandfather saw some of these being built in the 40s. 010

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Flew into Buffalo yesterday to attend to some family stuff and it was shocking to me that all the trees are still green. Growing up I’d see the leaves starting to turn by late August and be upset knowing that it meant school would be starting soon. 000

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The week started with someone from the AI industry claiming they’ll kill us all within a decade, and ends with someone from the oil industry saying, no actually, it’s us that’ll kill us all. And to think I was worried about Social Security running out before I retire in a decade. 010
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Oh dear. Joe Rogan. Elon Musk and his Cybertruck giga-factory. Bari Weiss’s University of Austin, which certainly doesn’t intend for people to confuse it with the University of Texas at Austin. And now this. I’m not loving the direction things are going here. www.kxan.com/news/local/a...kxan.comBook-shaped Ayn Rand Center under construction, set to open in 2028Austin residents may have noticed the construction project at the intersection of West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and San Gabriel Street. 010
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I’m forever grateful that whenever I’m feeling guilty about shitty opinions on political or social issues I once held that I can count on a former classmate or coworker posting something on Facebook that’s 10x shittier than anything I ever believed. 110
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Recently on a cruise I was standing in a customer service line and started chatting w my neighbor, a black female veteran from Texas. Casual vacation chit-chat. Then out of nowhere she brings up trans women in sports and starts going off. I suppose she’s the type Talarico and Hinajosa are targeting 100
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That… that’s not how competition is supposed to work “Another reason Apple may consider increasing iPhone prices is to remain competitive with rising prices from rivals like Samsung and Google” 010

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026So amongst soaring oil prices, I have to make a 1,500 mile trip cross-country in a day or so. Flying will be very expensive. I’m considering renting an EV. Besides not having to pay $$$ for gas, forcing myself to take longer breaks to recharge every couple hundred miles probably isn’t a bad idea. 100
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026And here I thought that tales of people who refuse to read prologues or epilogue were just some sort of put-on. 010

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I love lists like this for pointing me towards music I need to check out. Not having access to good radio stations or cool music nerd friends growing up, it was two issues of Rolling Stone in the 80s that shaped my musical tastes: 100 Best Albums of the 80s, and 100 Best Singles of all Time. 100
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Okay fine, it’s probably time for me to check out this King Gizzard outfi—28 albums?!?!? Holy ****, I don’t think I’m ready for that kind of commitment. 160

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I thought I was heading to a quick meet to sell (or not sell) some modules but the buyer was a complete beginner who didn’t know what else he needed to get started — like a case — so I spent a couple hours giving him a crash course, sold him a couple other pieces he needed, and threw in some cables. 000
R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Whoo-hoo! Just sold a bunch of modules, a case, and a controller I wasn’t using. Time to go shopping… 000

R. Scott @scottpigman.bsky.social · 31/08/2026These are from a few years back but last I checked, nothing has much changed: would you believe this storefront in Taylor, TX is what’s become of the once legendary SST record label, which released albums by The Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, The Meat Puppets, and of course, Black Flag? 110
