Took Baldur’s Gate III multiplayer mode for a spin with friends tonight. I think the story elements don’t flow quite as smoothly but the combat is pretty fun! Will definitely do multiplayer again. 🎮

Last morning in Malmö; sipping coffee on the balcony. 🗺️✈️

We have been visiting Malmö for a week. Our trip is coming to an end for now, but we are really looking forward to our return in the late summer… 🗺️✈️

Just watched Bladerunner (the “Final Cut” edit) with my son who really enjoys cinema. He loved it - which was not a guarantee! But it is my all-time favorite movie and watching him love it was just an incredible experience. ❤️

At the first middle school track meet of the season. With wind chill adding to already low temps, I think it is officially too damn cold for a track meet today. Wishing I brought a flask…

I felt AWESOME about my livestream last night but I hit a snag with the new gear RIGHT AT THE END 😭 So I re-recorded today, and lo, IT IS DONE! I love this set; it perfectly captures my five years DJing. I hope you dig it!

This is happening tonight, and it’s going to be a lot of fun :-) I’m doing the whole gig on the new gear, from a thumb drive, without a laptop. I’ll be sound-checking with some slow jams at 8:30 PM US EDT and then things get crazy …

Saw Väsen in concert last night. I wouldn’t have picked this show, but five minutes in I knew that I was listening to two absolute masters of their craft, and I am always in the mood for that. 🎵

Long day. Spent much of it trying to explain that you can be creative AND productive.

The Omnis Duo gets a lot of hate, but I have to say that sitting on my couch and coming up with a set on the fly was a LOT of fun. 512gb SD card with my whole music collection on it FTW

Another Friday, another manhattan on the rocks. The stock market is so (understandably) insane that I should probably stockpile some cocktail ingredients this weekend… 🥃

My usual Thursday night hang-out isn’t happening this week, so the plan is to 1) eat pizza and 2) work on my next DJ set. The new controller (and the new-to-me rekordbox ecosystem) has me rethinking the way I build and perform sets. I also love …

Spent the day remembering how to Dougie

Spent a long time in the flow today. Wrote a file parser. Deleted Duolingo with tremendous satisfaction after rising to “diamond league”. It’s the little things.

In the club for Sara Landry tonight. The opening dj is Syona and she is crushing it!

Went down the rabbit hole of fixing the way I organize my music tracks (including file naming) while preserving all of my playlists in the DJ software. Tools used: ruby scripting language, sqlite3 database, m3u8 playlists, and Lexicon (3rd party sync …

I’ve managed to set aside an overwhelming sense of dread by staying busy. There is plenty to be done here and now that is useful and meaningful, even if it won’t change the world.

I have learned much about Duolingo since I started using it. I feel like it encourages a kind of obsessive meta-gaming that actually works against more impactful learning. So my current goal is to get to Diamond league (I’m one good week away …

Mega appreciation post for micro.blog. The ability to manage multiple sites from one place, with per-site cross-posting to other social media platforms, and being able to automatically create newsletters based on the type of post. The capabilities …

Big changes over the weekend for my DJ stuff. For digital presence, I’ve moved from Google Sites to micro.blog, where I can handle both social media posts and a mailing list from one place. Also shifted from Mixcloud to Twitch + Soundcloud and …

Totally Normal Dance Mix #36 - GOOD VIBES ONLY - Now on Soundcloud!

After the technical issues during my livestream I re-recorded this. It’s not perfect but it’s MUCH better than the first try. Enjoy!

I just re-recorded my latest DJ livestream. I had a ton of technical issues during the live set and my heart wasn’t in it. The re-record is at least glitch free, and certainly better than any set I did in my first year of DJing. I was also in a …

Had friends over last night to celebrate the end of the work week. One of our guests was also our chef for the evening, commandeering our kitchen to make boiled dinner. I’ve never been enthusiastic about boiled dinner, but this time around it was a …
