Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.
My phone just reminded me that six years ago Steve Albini reached out about me making some masks for the staff of Electrical Audio and I sent him back a bunch of pics of a prototype to determine placement for the logo. Didn't end up doing the thing, but so fun to play around. He's missed every day.

The thing I think about whenever Palentir comes up is that I once played Werewolf sitting next to a guy that worked at Palentir and he spent the entire time trying to convince me that the company wasn't evil while simultaneously picking off every villager in the game.

The thing that is hard about writing is conclusions. Also introductions. And the middle stuff.

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.
