All Activity

I might have gotten carried away replacing my Niche Zero, which I gave to my son and his girlfriend, with the Zerno Z2. The wait was long, but I have to say I am pleased thus far. Still seasoning the 80mm Lab Sweet burrs, and dialing in for espresso, pour over and machine coffees. Thus far the pour over, in particular, has really stood out. I taste more nuances than I did previously, but take that with a grain of salt...I'm no pro with a money maker palate. HS

I love that restaurant. Been years since i've been there. HS

Velvet Darkness, I.O.U., Road Games, and Metal Fatigure

Saw Bedouine (Azniv Korkejian) last night; Karen liked her music as well, so it was pretty special. Such a smooth and soothing voice, I call it a warm blanket covering me. Opening band, who also backed Bedouine, was great: Other Delights, a kind of lounge/exotica sound that was very cool. Got their new LP, and 2 LP's from Bedouine, one signed.

been watching too many - make songs from comments music videos.

Only Appropriate given today Interesting Artifacts, The European Theater was covered in "The Road to Berlin", likewise the Pacific in "The Road to Tokyo. Both were well done. Unlike some people I was not admonished to maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect, at all times. So there was that.

Grilled Redfish , lump crab Fish 'n Chips Y'All (Technically fried redfish and french fries) Both very tasty @ Deanie's Seafood

Yeah baby! Sorry I'm late. Happy birthday!

Going on an Allan Holdsworth bender, so: Soft Machine, Bundles The New Tony Williams Lifetime, Believe It (Pierre Moerlen's) Gong, Gazeuse Jean-Luc Ponty, Enigmatic Ocean

Thanks team, It was a rainy and pretty quiet day - which is just fine for a introvert. There was steak and a bottle kill of a 70's Macallan (you know - the usual) Cheers

Let me know when it gets down to 2112 people in front of you. (whooshy synthesizer noises)

Sharing a Moroccan Spiced Lamb And Porchetta @ Cochon Butcher

I don't think the sphere is that large.(Max ~20K apparently). Oh well, I suspect a large number in the queue are bots. 😢

I accidentally dragged a jpeg of a photo I'm editing to the Mac App Store app and not the denoise app I've been using. The App Store app opened up and brought me a list of photo editing apps. Very clever, Apple. Also, drink every time I said "App."

Happy birthday!

Apparently I forgot how to brain today. Let's have some ugly old metal boxes.

This Aged Great! is a fun series.

Technically Yesterday. Tried to get a streetcar to the garden district, but thought we had been transported back to the UK when we learned that due to track damage, there was a replacement bus service for the initial section. That done, we finally were able to transfer to a streetcar not named desire and use our jazzy pass for its intended purpose. A short walk later found coffee and bagels in a hole in the wall deli and had a chat with a local retiree (who may have been a fox news viewer based on their concern about "all the riots" in London and California). Carried on walking along Magazine Street, taking in the gentrification and locally modified architecture Then saw a bit of home away from home,went to investigate and learned the story behind it from call sign "Jaxxx" himself https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/new-orleans-british-phone-booth/article_fcb90110-8291-4fc8-93cf-a13d6cec478b.amp.html Then onwards to the aptly named Audubon Park where we walked around the lake and saw plenty of White Ibis And the aptly named black bellied whistling ducks. Noisy buggers. Then back on the St Charles street car back to downtown past some seriously imposing mansions. St Louis is not just the French Quarter.

^^^ From 2011-2015, I worked at a company where one of the Project Management/Lean team talked like this. My colleague and I would play a game, where (not in the meeting with her) we prefaced what she would say with "One time....at band camp..." in that same fucking inflection!

Happy Happy Birthday (Birthday)!

Happy Birthday!
