Just got the letterboxd gremlins Easter egg for the first time. At first I was scared, then angry because I thought it was a popup, and then chuckling with realization. It’s been a ride.

I’ve been on four subway trains today, and half of them smell like piss. Not bad.

I’m thankful for being alive, having wonderful people in my life, and for readily available antacid.

My, a bald bearded white guy, taking a picture of myself in the mirror, one hand raised in the sign of "#1", wearing a slanket.

I continue to live that #1 slanket life.

Me, a bald whte man with a beard and glasses. I have a big patterned scrunchie tying my beard.

I’m getting into a new look.

The crossing signal on my (very busy!) street is broken, repeating “Change password” over and over instead of whether you should walk or not. What a wonderful use of technology 🙃

How to survive our authoritarian post-truth era.

My shitty photo of improv legends I saw the other night. They’re mostly in LA so felt special. All killer no filler.

On stage: Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, Rob Huebel, Edi Patterson, Lisa Gilroy, Carl Tart, Seth Morris, Owen Burke, Chad Carter, Phil Augusta Jackson.

Saw my roommate’s band Faith/Void play a fundraiser for Astoria Food Pantry. Great turnout and raised a lot of money. Give if you’re feeling it! 🎸

Screenshot of a music player song listing. It says "Yakety Sax" by Benny Hill, with a runtime of 04:32

Reminder that Yakety Sax is over four minutes.

Had a lovely time at NEDCamp as always. Thanks to all the organizers and speakers for such a great con.

A fortune from a fortune cookie. It reads, "A special someone will enter your life in December."

Got this the other day. Is it…Santa?

Well, fuck that 🇺🇸

I’ve been collecting myself since the election. This blog isn’t going to turn into a negative spiral, or focus on just politics. I’m still going to post the same silly stuff, but I am … Read more

An almost monochrome photo of the RFK bridge in deep shadow. Dramatic clouds streak overhead. There's a ton of film grain.

Capturing the mood.

If you’re a piece of shit, they put you in charge. 🇺🇸

Astoria Park was really nice yesterday.

Yeah, I’m just peeping bridges.

This one almost feels abstract with the geometric symmetry.

TIL that there is a tac command that is like cat, but prints the lines in reverse. Maybe I’m uncreative, but…why?

I was finally able to get an air filter for my bedroom/office. Feels necessary living next to the BQE. Already feeling better after a few days. #whatpollution

Friday was Cat’s Cradle’s last show of the year at Player’s Theatre. Thanks to everyone who came out show after show to see us, we had an amazing run. Looking forward to next year!

An "I Voted Early NYC 2024" sticker resting on top of a wood surface, along with the vote branded pen I used.

It’s the first day of early voting in New York City, and the turnout was healthy. I waited in line about a half hour, which I was happy to do.

If you haven’t noticed, our democracy is on the ballot. Proud to have voted for Kamala Harris. 🇺🇸

I kind of like how this looks vibrant and interesting, but as you look closer you see all these gasoline-spill digital artifacts in the shadows.
