Warning: contains promotional content! It has been, as they say, another week. And, looking back, a hell of a year. This time last year, things were just starting to get weird as the first cases of COVID-19 started popping up around these parts, leading to, well…you know. With the vaccines starting to work their way […]

So, my little “time away from work” was, by definition, “time away from work”, as I didn’t log into work on either Friday or Monday. Doesn’t mean that work issues weren’t living rent-free in my brain for at least three of the four days. Damn. I can’t catch a break, even when I schedule one. […]

This week’s been a strange one. The weather’s been bizarre; swinging from three inches of snow to start the week to hitting damned near 70° yesterday afternoon (and making for a wonderful day to *finally* get out for a brisk three mile hike). It’s raining this morning, which I should have expected, since after some […]

Marscon, were we in normal times, would be happening this weekend in Williamsburg. It is perhaps my favorite weekend of the year, where I get to spend time with my chosen family of creative, awesome people, making music, making each other laugh, sharing the occasional fortified beverage, and generally enjoying each other’s company. We are […]

So, after a couple of “kick the can” extensions, that $900 billion relief package, tied to the omnibus “fund the government” bill, got through both houses of Congress and landed on the President’s desk yesterday. Nobody really liked it; it’s totally insufficient, but that’s what they say compromise looks like, and it would carry us […]

Today is my last scheduled day of work for 2020. I’ve tied up everything I need to apart from one email response from one individual, who’s reply need only consist of “thumbs up*” for me to close the book on this particular item and feel like I’m keeping the project on track. Also, my body […]

Bureaucratic Talking Shutdown Blues (2020) by Chuck Parker So, if you’ve been reading the headlines, you know we’re running up against the end of another continuing resolution to carry the Federal government over the debt ceiling, and if they don’t get something sorted by Friday midnight, a whole bunch of public servants get furloughed….again. I […]

I know it’s cliche by this point, but 2020 has been, and continues to be the best practical case for evidence of time dilation in terms of relative perception in recent memory. Psychologists and physicists will be writing papers on this for decades. Remember Four Season Total Landscaping? That was only three weeks ago. In […]

If you’re looking for some Thanksgiving Eve enterainment this year, might I humbly suggest you tune in to my friend Madison “Metricula” Roberts’ weekly streaming music show on Wednesday night? Each week, she plays “6 songs at 6pm from 6 categories”: One song hot off the press by me, one song by a friend, one […]

In an age that seems eons ago, 2018, The Blibbering Humdingers released our most recent record, Fantastic Geeks and Where To Find Them, to much acclaim. We played all over the place with it, and people seem to dig the cool 1920s aesthetic most of the record presented. Since the initial shows supporting this one, […]
