By the time anyone’s reading this, I’ll be on my way south to participate once again in ConGregate, a wonderful convention in Winston-Salem NC that does me the honor of having me as a guest once again in 2023. I’ll be playing a bunch of shows and sitting on a few panels, and generally hanging […]

So it’s been a quiet a couple of weeks in terms of posting missives here that no one reads anyway. It happens. I’ve honestly been mostly working too much and neglecting much of the rest of life, at least until I got to the end of June and it’s big work product deadlines, then I […]

It’s been awfully exciting lately. This week really wasn’t, and that’s okay. I spent most of my time just getting work done, and working through the beginnings of the song I’m covering for Streamer Song Swap this year. This is the first time I’m doing it as, well, me, though I played bass on Metricula’s […]

Work was kinda busy this week, continuing to put out fires, which is kinda what I do now. No worries; they keep on paying me, I keep on logging in. That big problem requirement has been successfully pushed off my plate to be dealt with by folks who are authorized to spend the money, but […]

Not a lot of engagement with the world, online or otherwise that hasn’t had to do with work these last two weeks. That can happen when you get assigned a seriously time-sensitive and poorly-documented requirement that somebody just dropped and abandoned four or five months ago, and needs to be solved now or the organization […]

Not loving this week. In particular, Thursday. I’m not sure I mentioned it previously, but we’ve been down a car the last week and change after somebody forgot the emergency brake and the Honda rolled back into a gas pump pollard and hyper-extended the open door. As such, I’ve really not had the range of […]

So, I’ve been up to some stuff. Last weekend, with it’s pub crawl adventures (lots of fun showing a friend around town and sampling many libations and game stores) and Ravencon was pretty cool. I think I played some really good shows (I might actually be getting kind of good at this?) and the new […]

As mentioned previously, I’ll be a guest at Ravencon, my hometown convention here in the RVA, this weekend. I’ll be playing a few solo shows and being an occasional panelist. I haven’t played this one in a few years; the last time was doing the RavenCon Summer Concert back in ’21, though I’ve been attending […]

So, periodontal surgery last week went off without a hitch; got the gums slashed and stitched, and after the first eighteen hours or so which hurt like hell, the pain’s been very manageable. I’m a little tired of the industrial plastic taste from the dressings installed around the sutures, and am growing rather weary of […]

So, last weekend was a nice diversion, getting to play some shows with my friends down in Durham. I thought we sounded pretty good, though it’d have been nice if more folks had come to the shows. This one wasn’t really a big music event, though double-digits would’ve been nice. The Saturday show, though, did […]
