Oh SHIT! It's on, Bitwig. You've got an Ableton-like competitor in the #LinuxAudio space that is way better than you at normal audio recording, mixing, and editing.

I've been making new work from the spaces here at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital where we've been living while my son undergoes treatment. The full work will be at the upcoming faculty show at Czurles Nelson Gallery on Buffalo State's campus starting next week. It's also on my website.

I'm sorry to see obituaries for Dr. Gladys West this morning: https://thezebra.org/2026/01/18/dr-gladys-west-mathematician-whose-work-made-gps-possible-dies-at-95/

She was brilliant and did a lot of incredibly important scientific work, a lot of which was hidden/uncredited early on, because she was a mathematician in a time when "computer" was a job description.

Hi everyone. After six years, Oliver's brain tumor has returned. Today he will undergo surgery to have it removed. He's an amazing human who makes the best pizza, loves using Blender, and loves his puppy. We could use everyone's good hopes, positive energy, and prayers for positive outcomes. Thank you.
He doesn't let me take many pictures of him... My son Oliver is getting his next brain MRI at St. Judes in a few hours. If you all could send him positive energy for clear scans, I do appreciate it. Thanks.
