Sunday Post Wrangling – 04-16-23

Every Sunday, I pull all of my posts from my Mastodon account into a blog post here. 04-11-23 I love Plex’s sonic analysis features. I listen to my personal music library through Plex, and it’s such a blast to see what pops up together. For example, some of my more #experimental Blix Byrd music comes … Read more

Sunday Post Wrangling – 04-10-23

Every Sunday (or, in this case, not on Sunday), I pull all of my posts from my Mastodon account into a blog post here. 03-20-23 Mix procrastination achieved: I just designed and priced out a new, very sturdy Jaspers keyboard stand to replace my mediocre Standtastic stand, on which everything moves when I play with … Read more

Freedom Upgrade

I’ve been feeling a building impulse to stop using Gmail for my personal email and calendar, and somehow today became the day that I moved over. I’ll be forwarding my Gmail, but will be using Proton Mail for my personal email and calendar for the foreseeable future. As all moves away from Google go, it … Read more

(Yes, before you say it, this definitely says more about me than about bass.) #MusicProduction #Mixing 03-11-23 … Read more

Sunday Post Wrangling – 03-05-23

This week’s regularly scheduled wrangling has been interrupted by covid. It finally got me. I’m back to the land of the living at this point, but barely, and am still not feeling capable of any meaningful creativity or expression. So yeah, zero Mastodon posts to wrangle from the past week. I’ve gotten to spend a … Read more

Sunday Post Wrangling – 02-26-23

I’m introducing a new habit into my routine — pulling all of my Mastodon posts from the previous week into my blog. This was inspired by Marc at disquiet.com. Although this is technically antithetical to the Indieweb philosophy of syndicating everything from your website to other sites, I love using Mastodon as my place to … Read more
