Dad, enjoyer of less mainstream tech stuff, recently into music production, podcasting and a bit of web "design" (yay neocities!)

Neurodiv cis-het with a big heart for the queer community. Also not a big fan of pigeonholing.

My profile picture is a drawing of me as a blackbird with antlers and glasses, sitting on a computer keyboard. Inspired by the WoW pro player from the show South Park. Header pic is of a red wall with lots of ones and zeroes with a glimpse of an old Robotron PC.

Looking at rising hardware prices made me realise one thing: selling your kidneys wouldn’t even be enough for a stick of RAM anymore.

Sorry if I get on your nerves with my #music stuff but I need to share this with the void: my latest video has gotten almost a hundred views in just a few days!

And although I know that’s virtually nothing in the modern world of content creation, it’s still very exciting to me.

It definitely motivates me to keep creating and also expanding the scope of my channel.

The Apple silicon iteration was kinda pointless. It looked sick as hell though!
I'm gonna miss it.

Still got the first Mac Pro under my desk. It's not doing anything anymore but spreading vibes and taking up space.

There’s gonna be a Harry Potter series?

Boy I can’t wait for a bunch of grown-ass men to start hating on a child actor because something isn’t 100% book-accurate!

On a related note: my most recent music video reached 40 views, which is about ten times more than I expected.

I can already feel the pressure of success 😱

Today I told my wife about how I unexpectedly reached the limits of my keyboard controller, which only has two octaves, but I needed three (I can switch octaves but it is cumbersome).
She looked at me with a hint of surprise and said „you actually play the notes yourself? I thought you were just clicking sounds and loops together.“

It’s good to know that someone I love has that much faith in me 😅

I might just throw it on my old X230 and see what happens 💻 👀

The good thing about having a single digit subscriber count on your YouTube channel is that your viewers don’t have to suffer through 3 minutes of unskippable ads before they can watch a 2 minute video 😅

Alright, my second #music video is online. YAY!

This time it's all about #space

As always I'd appreciate some feedback. Give it to me. I can take it!

After scouring the creative commons for material for my next #video I must admit that I expected more cool space stuff on there.
But I found at least one cool sound that I’m gonna repurpose!
