I am a Node.js maintainer, a songwriter for Palace Family Steak House, and a pizza architect for my family. I'm a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee and a long-time employee of the UCSF Library. I have been sneaking Strong Bad references into source code since at least 2016. he/him

I feel weird even posting something like this given each day seems to bring news somehow even more horrible than the day before, but here we go:

Hey, if you're interested in what I've been listening to lately, I posted something here:

It's the time of year to start busting out all the favorites from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Hey, I'll be playing some of these at the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA on December 20 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas!

I just put out a collection of short tracks. One of them is a Tom Lehrer song about Hanukkah. It's free (pay whatever you want, including $0) on Bandcamp. The whole thing is less than 10 minutes long. I'll need to write a 20-minute prog epic in 2026.
