  I remember when I worked in Sausalito, I'd often see a mix of boats anchored out in Richardson Bay, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge off Sausalito. I guess I was charmed by the independence and self-sufficient nature of it all. I think it's sad and a bit wrong that this guy (and his friends before him) is being forced off the bay at this point in his life. He's the only one living on his boat in the middle of the bay; why not leave him be? https://www.sfchronicle.co...

  The Chicago White Sox’ magical season has come to an end. Congrats to the Cleveland Guardians, who move on to the ALCS. ⚾️ The Pope’s influence only goes so far, I guess. 😕 #baseball

  morning listening. Not your normal quiet Sunday fare, this is an invigorating blend of algorithmic percussion and avant-garde piano, provided by Mark Fell and Pat Thomas, on the always terrific Black Truffle label. Very engaging. https://blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/reality-is-not-a-theory #music #avant-garde #bandcamp #blacktruffle

  On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism. Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides concrete historical examples. Each chapter is short, and the book is only 126 pages. Possibly the most valuable thing that you could ever read. I'm going to be posting the first page of each chapter, because of how importa...

  The thing I love about 'Tugboat' Wilkinson is that he defies convention. You look at him and see that he does not have a physique which says 'he's an athlete'. Yet he competes and has success. He's a major league pitcher. He's held the Dodgers to one hit through two innings so far today. That's not to say that the Giants will win, and who knows what his stats will end up looking like. L.A., it has to be said, is formidable. But he goes out there and surprises pe...

  One of the defining issues of our times: older Americans, living longer cuz of advances in healthcare, are holding onto their jobs as well as their wealth and influence, and as a result are delaying the inheritance of those things by the generations which follow them. What to do about it? How to share resources, upward mobility and generational agency while building a system of care which all generations can benefit from as they age? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/opinion/american-geronto...

  I went BOWLING today! The first time in fifteen years. Haha, I had to figure out how to do it all over again. I've been in leagues twice in my life, the last time around 2010. I think my average back then was around 175. Today, I got a 79 and a 115. Hahahaha, but I had a smile on my face. A simple pastime. Next time, I'll be better. Big place. Sixty lanes! 🎳 #bowling

  Hugs in the dugout for Robbie Ray, who looks like a guy who's just been traded. He pitched very well tonight. Six innings, 86 pitches, 4 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts. Thanks for the memories. #baseball

  I'm reading a really interesting article about recording a sound source using the Mid-Side (M/S) technique instead of normal stereo. Part of it makes use of a bidirectional/figure-8 microphone, which I'd never heard of before. I process audio using Mid-Side all the time, but I've never recorded it this way. Didn't know you could! If you're not familiar with Korneff, they're a company run by audio professionals which makes software plugins for music-making. Crucially, t...

  For those interested, beginning today the weather reports David Lynch did on YouTube in 2020 and 2021 are perfectly in sync with the 2026 and 2027 calendars. Here's the first one, for May 11, 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krIj6eLF4mU&list=PLTPQcjlcvvXExy6Ti4TccyRvwntL00b2w&index=1 #davidLynch #twinPeaks

  I finished my latest rewatch of Twin Peaks: The Return. Such a mind-bending season. I've also been immersing myself in the interpretations of the season that are present in the r/TwinPeaks subreddit, which have broadened my view considerably. I appreciate this show more each time I see it. #twinpeaks

  This week, I got word that the Leipzig-based record label Adventurous Music has agreed to release the collaborative album I did with my Madrid-based friend Autodetuned. 'Tunneling Underground' will drop this November. We are very psyched! https://www.adventurousmusic.com/ #music #musician #soundArt
