I dig it man.

yah - I've got a buddy who started a label around cassette releases... and I just nod and smile.

I mean... I'm all about nostalgia... but this has me scratching my head and feeling "boomer-y"

I love this.... my wife just looked up from what she was doing and said "that's awful steve"

    the payoff in terms of how many people I think I can help keeps me excited to do the work every day.

This is the best thing I've read in a while.

it's amazing how much photoshop and CGI people are willing to use to fake out the populace and make them think the world is round...

I basically can't stop listening to this track.

    the corporate wardrobe equivalent of a decent potato salad.

I just spit out my drink.

    I've heard every possible criticism of Starfield and I'm still not bothered by any of the complaints.

screw them.. Not that I'm in many gaming circles, but I've only heard really positive things from friends. I'm glad you're digging it.

Would love to see a Burning Man retrospective! I hope the other resident burners will pop in!

(double rainbow for the win!)

    seeing Kevin Drew and Feist sing Almost Crimes in 2010

I can't even... I might die.

that might explain why AirBnB prices have been through the roof. We needed a place to stay in SLC at the beginning of the month - AirBnBs were consistently more expensive than a nice hotel room.

    Unlike Google, at least they're not trying to get their customers to wear their nerd helmets in public.

I want to know the first state who makes the law prohibiting wearing VR/AR headsets while driving. It's going to happen...

    Thinking about wearing that fucking scuba mask for more than twenty minutes makes me feel nauseous.

I just spit out my drink...

I think I've listened to this half a dozen times. solid

find out if your company has a track record of giving decent severance packages. If they do? try to time your departure accordingly. It can be tricky, but I've pulled it off, and watched several other people pull it off too.

steve  ·  338 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The NIH has poured $1 billion into long Covid research — with little to show for it

I've been thinking about this... I've worked for a few different startups that have burned through ~150 million over 6-7 years... and while none of them are on Uber's scale of burning billions - they arguably left a mark, generated a product, employed some people, etc.

$1billion and nothing to really show for it? eeesh... that's scary.

I love this so hard

steve  ·  346 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Crazy Love -- song I made up tonight. Couldn't finish. Didn't have time

this is an excellent track. I mean - as you stated - not finished - but this has wheels.

    Let's do an experiment.

also... is this you on the air? or does this person just happen to sound a fair amount like you?

steve  ·  350 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pubski: April 12, 2023

I ended up listening to it about four more times.... super stressful stuff at work last night and today - this was so freaking cathartic.

I skipped to 2:16 right as Ministry dropped in... I'm good for a while. I'll let I play through the hour. gotta grind through some late night work as it is... might as well do it with some ear bleeding treats.

edit: Shazam doesn't really understand industrial music.
