I like all the superb owl posts and the super bowl posts because Go Birds! works for both.

Go Birds! I don't own any Eagles kit, but I found a green shirt. Of course it is Kelly green (midnight green is ugly). #gobirds @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

Cloudy morning and hard to see. But got a small glimpse of the Blue Origin New Glenn launch. Could definitely hear it . @blueorigin

Sun setting on 2024 (I know, a day late posting). It's been a crazy year. Would like to think 2025 will be a bit calmer, but... Happy New Year! #happynewyear

Pork pizza pie in a cast iron skillet. One of my favorites.

On this day, 14 years ago, I went to my first Art of Record Production Conference at Leeds Metropolitan University. Here I stepped into an amazing community of music production researchers where I gained colleagues, friends, and in truth, a new career. @lbu_lsa @smprmusic @arp_conferences

First time trying a turkey pot pie with leftovers. The magic is on the inside. Will do again.

Every academic right now

A version of the kermit vs darth kermit meme where good kermit tells the online academic that they should grade, while darth kermit tells them they should eat more pie.

Like I said, I mostly post about audio and food, but mostly food. Here's some butter paneer I whipped up tonight.

Happy to have the rain, but a thunderstorm in November in Philly is a bit concerning.

This is such a great exhibit. Don't forget to look up and read the quotes on the wall. Ties it all together.

I keep being advertised how to migrate to Canada. What circumstance might have prompted that?

Toby Seay @jtseay67.bsky.social · Nov 18

OK, how about some lemongrass beef. Nothing fancy, but delicious. I know, I know, why am I posting food pics? Mainly because it brings me joy.

As an audio engineer, I’m very excited about all the echo chamber discussions…

You should have seen all the ww on the train to work the day after the election in Philly. They all broke out their pussy hats but also their facial expressions of shame.
