I came up with a knock knock joke in improv rehearsal today.

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Hi.
Hi who?
Sounds silly!

I can only apologize.

Had the pleasure of performing in the Baltimore improv festival this weekend. Had a blast. Thank you to all the organizers and everyone who came out!

Letters To Doless

I wrote a humor column in college for the Hofstra Chronicle under the pseudonym Silence Doless, a nod to Benjamin Franklin I didn't come up with. I was very proud of this work at the time. It's all … Read more

TIL that in JavaScript, non-strict mode is called sloppy mode.

Susuru Ramen in Astoria is the best ramen, full stop. 🍜

Since moving in with my roommates, we’ve watched a lot of movies together. They are almost exclusively horror. I’m not mad. 🍿

Started reading: 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke 📚

Read this one before, but reading it again as an impromptu book club after seeing the movie again in 70mm at the MOMI.

Really funny, gross piece. What I Learned From One Month Of Not Eating Raw Chicken by Gregory Erskine.

Finished reading: Be Here Now by Ram Dass 📚

After seven months, I have the router, pi-hole ad-blocker, and media server setup. ⌛️🤓

Got a futon today. This upgrades my bed from a seven month old foam camping mat to a futon. 🛌

How am I doing? Well today I’m slamming assorted rice crackers 🍘

A bag of assorted rice crackers. That’s literally what it’s called.
A screenshot of the Neovim editor. There's some PHP code, and a skull and crossbones in the sign column.

I configured my Neovim LSP error symbol to a skull and cross bones, so now whenever I write bad code I feel like a pirate. 🏴‍☠️

I wrote my second essay on not having a home last year, following my divorce. I think it turned out pretty good. Come back, Astoria.

Come back, Astoria

This is part of a series on my nomadic life following my divorce. Aside from the introduction, they can be read in any order. The wind whipped my hair, slathering it around my skull. I was standing … Read more

TIL guthub.com redirects to github.com. I’m sad it isn’t a recipe site.

I’m looking at a prominent scar on the side of my hand. Looks like me a deep cut. I have no memory of how I got it. Cool cool.

I don’t like a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers music, (although I’ve listened to most of it), but the out-of-character Warped still kicks so much ass. 🎵

Here’s how my hemmed cut offs looked as pants. Off of @starshaped@labyrinth.social post.

Me, an older white man with a long beard, stands in a thrift shop. My hands are on my hips and I’m smiling. I’m wearing these skin tight white and pastel color splotch pants.

I found these pants for ten bucks thrifting and cut them into shorts. I just finished doing a very sloppy hemming but I’m happy with the result.

Me in white shorts that have pastel color streaks.

I’m on the subway and there’s a group of young teenage girls singing “I want it that way” by The Backstreet Boys. I remember singing that at their age. You never know what’s going persist! They’re much bettered singers tho. 🎵

It’s been so hot, the other day the metal clasp on my hat started burning my skin. #climate 🧢🔥
