A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!

Really excited about this one: A new game show I devised that attempts to mix NYT-style Connections with a word game, on a podcast!

Car Boot Salad (Game Show 276)

Welcome to Missed Connections, a new-ish game with some familiar twists, in which two pairs of contestants try to guess words and then find the hidden bonds that connect them together. Lex will always tell you when he knows the answer, but unfortunately for him, the players still have to take turns.

OK nevermind, THIS is the coolest thing I’ve ever done to my iPhone

F**k content, make ART.

Consider this my unwavering stance for 2026.

Full stop.

With all the posts on various social platforms about ditching Spotify for musically greener pastures, this Substack article gives us a lot to chew on, particularly music discovery outside of the algorithm's influence, offline listening, owning music files rather than streaming, and lots more.

Dice by PCalc 2.9 is out now!

My #ttrpg dice rolling app now fully supports all the 26 OS updates and has a shiny Liquid Glass redesign.

I've also reworked the reroll function, so it remembers the starting state of the last dice roll, including advantage, disadvantage, and any dice functions. Exploding dice now work properly too, and actually explode!
