Trader Joes was absolutely insane today. The parking lot there is way too small and getting in there was an act of bravery. I forgot something and I am not going back. Cherry Audio released just what everyone was waiting for…a Roland Jupiter-8 emulation! Oh wait, it’s already

I like when someone new to the company tries to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about despite having years of experience with the particular thing they're just trying to wrap their head around. But it’s a bit delicious when they

On POSSE... POSSE: too many places to post and pay attention to. I love the idea, or at least want to love the idea, but do we really need this? If I syndicate to other places from my blog am I not responsible for monitoring those places as well? It

🏈 Bears squeaked out a win vs. the Bengals. Both defenses were terrible, the Bears just a bit less so. Truly an awful performance today by both Caleb Williams (though he nailed one when it counted at the very end of the game) and the defenses. Bengals had a bit of
