Spent the afternoon peeling freshly roasted Hatch green chilies. Set aside some to make pork green chile. Most of the rest are in the freezer for future use.

Had my first In-N-Out burger last weekend. It was incredibly... average. Definitely not worth the 30 minute wait. Five Guys tops it, but even better are burgers from local non-chain places like The 49th or Lariat Lodge.

I had that same setup, but I was, um, a bit older than you

I recognize that place! Summit Lake near the peak of Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mt. Evans). I have a color version with similar reflections hanging on my wall! Yours is a great angle to capture the clouds

Replay 2024 - Disquiet0678 It's always fun to go back and listen to the music I created during the year and select twelve pieces for my year end sound journal. 2024 was a fairly sparse year for me, but I did manage to find twel

Every year I make a year-end sound journal: a one minute track with 5-second snippets of 12 selected recordings I made throughout the year. My work this year tended toward drone and experimental, with a bit of actual music here and there. soundcloud.com/alanblip/rep...

It was just 2 inches here and now the sun is out and streets look dry. Typically Colorado! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

My brain exploded 🀯 when I saw the news that The Onion had bought InfoWars. I couldn't decide whether it was reality or satire. Looking forward to some masterful trolling.

I've decided to no longer play Wordle or Connections. Octordle, Squaredle, Puzzmo, Waffle, and Giznep are currently on my daily menu. Anybody got any other word puzzle games they like that aren't affiliated with NY Times?

Giving Bluesky a try again after being away for 8 or 9 months. Maybe I'll figure it out better this time 🀷

One reason I rarely post on Bluesky is the paltry message size. When I compose a brief message, I can post it on Threads and Mastodon without issue, but on Bluesky I have to break it into two or more messages. Since Bluesky doesn't display threads very well, it's just not worth the effort. End Messa

I recorded Moonrise for the January Skies space music concert. I was inspired by the Pet Rock module which creates random rhythms based on the phase of the moon. The moon was in the waxing crescent phase the day I recorded it. Pet Rock played the rhythms of the two lead synths. youtu.be/J-dMSV88e_E

Instead of beats per minute, this song is measured in years per beat.

Next note change happens on February 5! Mark your calendar!
