Hey everybody! I'll be taking a break from my regularly scheduled philosophical argument with Alexa on the nature of good and evil from 4-6pm today to listen to our friend Marc Hurwitz @marchurboston.bsky.social on markskinradio.com as he gives us a break from friggin' robots. Listen if you can!

Argggghhhh -- I'm answering unknown phone numbers today because I'm supposed to get my septic tank pumped today (I know, sexy, right?) and I'm getting spam calls out the kazoo instead. I'm not going to explode in anyone's face, I think.

There is a feeling, I'm sure the Germans have word for it, for when your wife's dog, very man-shy, comes to love you, climbs into your lap to snuggle, and promptly burps in your face. Gehundenbelchen? I'll take what I can get. ;-)

If you want to know who I really am, as it turns out I'm the numbnuts who says thank you to Alexa when that robot does what I ask.

I'll be back on @markskinradio.bsky.social Tuesday afternoon, playing songs from Pere Ubu, Adam Ant, The Ting Tings, Bad Religion, and Grant Lee Buffalo, along with new tunes from Boston-based acts Girl With a Hawk and Casket Rats.

Well done and congratulations, Charles!
Whoohoo for the first time one of my Handyman books broke the top 10 in it's Amazon category! Book two is due out next week. If you love adventure and lusty romance then this series will keep you turning pages all night. For fans of the Nexus Universe this is a direct tie in! #booksky 📚💙🌶️

There is a feeling, I doubt the Germans have a word for it because it involves joy. But when you buy your wife's daughter a hotshit laptop for Christmas because she's going to need it for school, you might just puff your chest a bit for a second. ;-)

@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social This is what snow looks like in Chapel Hill. The first camellia petal drop of the season. ;-)

Hey everybody! Our friend @iaincmgray.bsky.social graced us with a new video of his busking talents. Give it a ride if you have time!
Thought I would pap up another of my Broadband Busker videos.

In one year I have garnered a whole 67 pence in my on-line busking efforts.

Need more than this to achieve retiring aim.

Hope you enjoy this anyway.

This is called The Breeze.

Share this one far and wide, and if I can make it up there this weekend, I will. (Bedford, NH)

After a morning of sheer chaos, I have just been informed that the plan for our weekend is to watch STD videos and I get to be the crash test dummy for phlebotomy training. Guess who won the lottery. This guy! ;-)

My ancient father has been complaining about tooth pain, but won't go to a dentist, despite my protestations. So I made Panera-style broccoli cheese soup for him, and Misty was like, "Oh damn that's good. I'm taking some for lunch tomorrow." Am I bragging? Yes, I am bragging. ;-)

I _despise_ #microsoft windows. I need zero, zero security on the computers I use it on, and yet somehow it makes me change my password constantly, and I can never remember what the new one is because I never log out. Those bastards just bricked my computer b/c I got it wrong too many times.

Hey everybody! This is what happens when you feel significantly bad -- you forget your weekly shill for our friend Marc Hurwitz ( @marchurboston.bsky.social ) who is on markskinradio.com right now playing the best of alt rock. Catch the rest of the show if you can!

@iaincmgray.bsky.social This one showed up randomly on my timeline and I thought, 'oh yeah, I know who needs a shot of this stuff.' ;-)
As the cold arms of Winter beckon. This morning in Glastonbury felt really cold at sunrise. I even had to put my gloves on! 🥶

When I was working for Ukraine, I worked with a team of crazy Taiwanese coders, and for whatever reason, they sent me a Taiwanese bamboo back scratcher. Not gonna lie, it may well be the best gift I've ever received.

There is only one thing better than going to our local on a Saturday night, and that is going to our local on a Saturday night on someone else's dime. Thank you Chuck @cpaone.bsky.social and Lana for being spectacular friends. We did in fact toast the two of you.
November 15, 2025 at 11:52 PM
@nubianqueenbee.bsky.social You'll be proud of me. I got comfortably back into my favourite pair of pants. This is the best Saturday ever! There is still work to do, but if they tell you you can't teach an old dog new tricks, they're wrong. Have a great day Queen Bee. :)
November 15, 2025 at 11:09 AM
@cpaone.bsky.social Today is Misty's day in clinic, and we're planning to go to four corners to celebrate a great week, and we will raise a glass to you and Lana for all you've done for us. There will be inevitable photos, despite my protestations. ;-)

As plagiarized from the interwebs:
Death is the number 1 killer in the world
Life is sexually transmitted
Good Health is the slowest way to die
Men have two states-hungry and horny. When in doubt make a sandwich
Health freaks tend to die of nothing, but they still die
Old age doesn't last long

Borderline NSFW -- A word to the wise, when you naturally wear your pants low on your hips and lose weight, maybe don't climb a ladder where your neighbours can see you. You were warned. ;-)
November 13, 2025 at 3:08 PM
@iaincmgray.bsky.social This one is clearly aimed straight at you. ;-)

@sixftjamie.bsky.social I don't know if you know it, but I'll bet you love bivalve clams that live like snails. A truly bizarre form of convergent evolution. Nature does good work, and like me, often goes completely off script. :)
Another not-clam fact: Juliidae snails have a hinged shell like clams, entirely by convergent evolution! For ~100 yrs they were only known from fossils and assumed to be clams! The commonality of the hinged form makes me hope there are clamlike aliens out there, waiting to make 1st contact (240)

@mistybrown.bsky.social I got a vote of confidence from a very reliable source. ;-)

@ericlars2.bsky.social I know where you stand on kitchen gadgets, but somehow, every time Misty travels, I nervous buy a new kitchen gadget. I made labneh (a lebanese form of yogurt cheese) in the instant pot, and holy hell is it good. A $3 gallon of milk and three days, and you get a year's worth.
