We've now reached the point of the Internet where I am getting generative AI videos of "magic tricks". JFC.

Watching the scenes where they talk about what the Theranos 1.0 device "could do" gave me traumatic flashbacks to my time at DigiScents giving demos of their device that could "broadcast any smell".

Just came out of a sold-out Monday afternoon screening of You Can See Everything and can confirm it is indeed bonkers and you will be thinking about it for days.

Recently the size of the team has doubled and Parachord desktop development has 📈. New build now supports streaming from Amazon Music and Subsonic (and much more). github.com/Parachord/pa...

The only thing I like about the feeble attempt to rebrand "AI" is that now we can coin the term "SIchosis".

I'm also not very smart

My open-source/multi-source desktop music player @parachord.bsky.social just hit 200 stars on GitHub... so that's something I guess. github.com/Parachord/pa... (Also there is a separate mobile app repo if you're interested).

We need a word for when you need to ship something but don't have a big enough box so you try to figure out how to buy the right volume of crap to be delivered from Amazon so that you can just reuse the box it comes in.

If I'm making videos and album art it must mean I think my new song is almost done. 🎸🎵🔊👂

I honestly forgot that I had built this feature and was excited when I found it again. Top albums being played on college radio in the US and Canada (and every album page tries to resolve and link to every source/streaming service it can find). achordion.xyz/charts/colle...

Oh, I see the bots of been running up my Achordion hosting bill while I was on vacation. Thanks? (That said, all music loving humans are welcome! achordion.xyz)

Headed to Cambridge (UK) for a few days. Anyone have any must-see/do/eat recommendations?

I went to one of those assistive-stretching studios yesterday in Park Slope that had a wall of windows facing out to 7th Avenue and all its pedestrians. Now I know what it must feel like to be a Cirque du Soleil performer.

Fun fact: if you file a Parachord bug and/or small feature request I generally try ship an update the same day. parachord.com

Confession: I don't work anymore but I still sometimes look at LinkedIn.

I was sort of beating myself up for just roadtripping around most of the summer and not being very productive lately and had to remind myself that's what I retired for.

I love Leava.xyz getting love on r/ParkSlope. ❤️

Anyone in the market for 2 tickets to see Alabama Shakes at Radio City on Wednesday (9/2)? (Yet again I went out of town and forgot I had tickets to a show.)

Two weeks ago I released my favorite song that I have written and recorded so far. This morning someone I didn't know told me "The raw atmosphere is brilliant. Guitar sounds wicked too." If that sounds interesting to you... open.spotify.com/track/5veqeI...

Just heard about a crazy phone scam that was attempted on a family member that involved multiple phone calls, a fake arrest warrant, insistence that the warrant "script" be read aloud in its entirety, with the ultimate goal of a "surety bond" to be bought at a crypto kiosk. Stay vigilant everyone!

Before I go *too* much further in productizing my personal home buying research agent - let's see if anyone else (prospective buyers/agents/other) finds this interesting. Beta signup now available. Beta signups now open. propelligence.xyz

Ouch

I stood up a rough online demo with dummy data (it's optimized for lake houses at the moment because that's my kink and I built it for me), but I'm curious if real estate professionals (or their clients) would find such a thing interesting? propelligence-core.netlify.app#/p/harrow

In my head, this is what a collab between Billy Corgan and Jack White might kinda sound like (as played by me). My latest single has finally dropped… open.spotify.com/track/5veqeI...
