He/him, 40ish.

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

I met my 1000-book reading goals for the last two years (including individual comics and picture books I read to my kid). I have the goal set the same right now, but it’s a bit daunting to already be 38 books behind schedule in the middle of February

If they release a #StarWars character poster like this for Marty Scorsese, I’ll buy one and put it up in my otherwise tastefully decorated bedroom
So do they #pork each other or what?

Playing today:

Lorde, “Virgin”
Rufus Wainwright, “Unfollow the Rules”
The Divine Comedy, “Swallows and Amazons: The Original Piano Demos”
Dan Bern and the Remote Ramblers, “Shining”
Ben Folds, “Rockin’ the Suburbs”
Dan Mangan, “Robots vs. Indie Queens”

Listening today:

David Bowie, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star”

That’s all for today - 5 discs of “pretty much everything” associated with “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy…” It’s never everything, though - seems like there’s always something on a previous release that remains exclusive and you have to hold onto everything forever.

Listening today:

Dan Bern, “Smartie Mine”
The Divine Comedy, “A Short Album About Love”
Gracie Abrams, “The Story of Us”
Elliott Smith, “Roman Candle”

Movies 2-4 of 2026. All my kid’s picks for her tenth birthday weekend.

Dog Man was a rewatch - saw it in theaters. It was cute enough, but I’m genuinely glad that we’re aging up more often than not out of cartoons and into romcoms and one of my favorite genres, teen melodrama.
The two Tall Girl movies were the latter category and they were just fine Netflixy examples.

Dan Bern, “The Stinky and Dirty Show! Season 2”

Made tonight: vegan scalloped potatoes.

Used this recipe several times over lockdown, especially for holidays. Took my notes from those experiences and sliced the potatoes much thinner than previous. Turned out great. Kid not a fan.

Served tonight with fake tofurky brand ham roast, which I picked up over the holidays. Kid thought that was fine.
