my brother, me, and my wife, at the infamous bean/cloud gate in chicago. we had such a nice time!

madi and i made it back home to raleigh, already missing chicago fiercely. but there is some quiet joy in the return to normalcy and our home.

on a whim, i shot a quick time-lapse out of the window during taxi and takeoff. i don’t always get the window seat […]

we’re visiting my brother in chicago, and we did our first escape room together. we survived and escaped mars, apparently! it was a lot of fun, and we finished ahead of the deadline with only a few hints early on in the process. 10/10 would get stranded on mars again.

i’m working on getting into an actual band(!) and will need an actual […]

Good news of the day:
Moby just released 500 of his songs to be used for free, no strings attached for non-commercial use.
Some of them even with stems in order to remix them as you see fit.
I didn't expect it and it's a great move.

okay, one more! can you tell i had a few days off? trying to relax while also feeling productive.

since “the distance” seems to be a hit, here’s cake’s version of “i will survive”. it’s a super catchy bass line that will always be at least a little bit stuck in my head. i think i can keep […]

new #basspractice video is up! this time, it's "the distance" by #cake. not the most complex or technical piece, but surprisingly difficult to play evenly and consistently.

still happy to receive constructive criticism, either for the music or the recording techniques. also wouldn't mind taking […]

today, 14 april 2025, my employer sent out a company-wide email saying we are ending all DEI-related programs, projects, and teams. i am not surprised, but i’m profoundly disappointed.

“we’re still committed to the same values” is not good enough if we don’t have the chutzpah to stand up […]

30 years ago, Eric Cantona stunned the world by launching a flying kick at a fascist football fan during a match.

I remember when this happened. When he came back on the pitch for his first match after he'd served his ban, it was like the second coming (of […]

98% of Costco shareholders voted against a proposal to end its DEI initiatives, “The fact that 98% of investors voted against the proposal shows that almost all investors are not buying what the anti-ESG and anti-DEI organizations are selling.” Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan did the same. There’s […]

stock pickups have been swapped for EMGs, the LaBella flats are on, and i even leveled a few high frets and give them all a polishing. did final setup adjustments this morning; tightened the truss rod, brought the action down a little bit, and tweaked […]

now that i’m predominantly playing my new G&L L-2000 day-to-day, i think it’s time to give my old second-hand peavey a makeover. new strings just came in the mail today, trying flatwounds out this time! also may or may not have ordered a set of EMG pickups… […]
