Spent another good chunk of the day learning Framer. I haven't been this jazzed about making a website in a while. But then the smarter person entered the room: "Dad, are you STILL working on that?" my son asked. Point taken - Dad should be playing with the kids. Laptop, closed.

Messing with Framer today. The last of my '25 bucket. Conversion from Figma (via plugin) isn't perfect, but it's really good.

Hello, sonic allies! It's that time of the year again: The 2025 Borowicz Rapport Music Retrospective!

Have you ever spent a long time working on a project only to realize the main problem with it is that you spent a long time working on it?

Stubhub sent Christian rock fans to see Lamb of God and I think that's the best thing I've heard this year. Stubhub, keep it up, honey. Metal will always be more inclusive than (dis)organized religion. 😂🤣😂🤣

Here's a movie that should have done much better at the box office. Maybe not enough people understood it? I'm basically the water guy in my relationship, so I got it at least. Love can overcome A LOT. More than you'd think.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate including the guy in the E Street band who sings "you better be good for goodness sake" really low.

This is why audiophiles do their homework, no matter who it is, because this isn't a heel turn. It's who she's been the entire time. Just another one in it for themselves; she won't even represent Trinidad.

Hard Volume Experience news:

I've been working away at episodes with @joenatoli.bsky.social and I'm pretty excited about the progress we've made as we gear up for life away from YouTube. The done pile is getting taller than the to-do one and I hope you all catch us when we return in 2026.

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history. n.pr/3KZCl3a
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Who needs coffee anyway? Just picked up the reissue – can't wait to give it a spin after a bath in the old record basin.

Just a fantastic collection of Christmas songs from the brilliant Norah Jones. This edition includes tracks recorded live, from on top of the Empire State building.🎄🔥

Who owns the worst record store around? Please put it in a good word for me so that I can hate it after one day there and lose this temptation to quit my job and start one.

In-progress build pics of #40806. The Enterprise is getting all the hype right now but this one is beyond cute!

Birthday gift from my amazing wife. The stand, not the record. I mean, the record is obviously a no-brainer.

Why would record collectors use software to visualize a physical media collection when they could just walk over to it and look at the real thing? No one needs an interactive virtual crate for Discogs. 🪙🪙

A Plea, by Flea is the absolute best thing I've heard in a decade. This is my vibe and, amen brother, I don't want to hear about your fucking politics; peace and love is the toughest, hardest thing you can do, everything besides love is cowardice.

Thanks to @joenatoli.bsky.social for the heads-up.
