Remember to take care of your local sewer drain today! Leaves + torrential rain = mad flooding.

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

@crystalvisits Lighting Seven Hills Park up like Fenway Park is certainly an idea one can have.

Yesterday was Yom Kippur and it was a tough one for me. I've been really struggling with my Jewish "faith" for a while. I typically find a lot of solace in the High Holy Days, but this year I just couldn't engage with it. Mizmor was a project started when the artist fell out of his deep Catholic […]

It's #bandcampfriday! Go buy a bunch of music!

Today I'm back into Mizmor, cranking their 2016 album Yodh. Crushing drone combined with brutal black metal. Definitely not for everyone but to me it's like a very heavy weighted blanket. Give it a spin (or a purchase) […]

I put the last bit of my 30 year Zafra into my infinity blend today. My wife bought me that rum 7 years ago last month. It got less good over the past few years, but it's still a favorite bottle for the story. She knew of a tradition a friend and I had where we'd celebrate our birthday with a […]

@SPF A NOBLETIGER! You love to see it happen to them.

@mattblaze How did you get the smear effect in the upper left to line up with the perspective lines of the building? Was that just a happy weather accident? To me that's the coolest part of the image.

OK, shit, now we're all discussing the drama around Bubba Wallace's latest loss on the family group chat and I think I might be in it.

Finally glazed these things today and man oh man I can't be worrying about them for the next two weeks like this.

Went out this morning with my daughter to go get breakfast and it was eerily quiet. Nobody on the streets. We walked all the way to the bagel shop without seeing anyone. When we got to the bagel shop, the lady behind the counter made a comment about how strange it was. Five minutes later the […]

Hey you! I know you've often wondered "What if Bjork was in a heavy rock band?" Well I got good news for you, because I found it! https://gaupaband.bandcamp.com/track/febersvan

Also, the number of older dudes running around Pit Row was shocking to me. I was breathing one form of exhaust or another basically the entire time I was in the infield. How those guys don't all have turbo lung cancer at 40 is beyond me.

And who knows, maybe if someone explained the strategy of NASCAR racing to me, that might get me interested too.

Ted Aronson @foolish.computer · 16d

My cousin runs IT for a NASCAR team and he invited me to hang out on Pit Row with him at today's playoff race at NHMS. It was my first NASCAR race ever. I never cared for the sport but seeing it live was really something else. It is *bone-shakingly* loud, for one, and the logistics and […]

This year for me has included both Luodong, Yilan and Loudon, NH. Two *very* different places.

It's amazing to me how a rum can sit in a leaky wooden cask for 30 years to become a transcendent epicurean experience, but you put it in a glass bottle and open it a few times and it becomes the definition of "mid".

My coworkers offhandedly asked me if I had seen the new Facebook glasses and I, without thinking, said I missed the days where those things would get you thrown out of bars. Turns out he was really interested in them.

So if I get fired next week that's probably why.

I recently put a sign on my door asking candidates/canvassers not to open my storm door or ring my doorbell. My mailbox is sufficient. The only person so far to disregard the sign is Greg Nadeau, who isn't running for anything but felt the need to tell me what candidates to vote for by putting a […]

I was sitting in my yard with two of my oldest friends, my brother and his wife, my wife and my daughter, enjoying the afterglow of a delicious meal and a nice party, when my neighbor comes over to my fence and asks "is Ted here? I heard it's his birthday." Then she gifts me a tin of fish from […]
