mastodon 4.7.3Nashville, TN.
For fun, I'm an artist. I make music and photograph moments I find interesting.
For work, I develop iOS apps and love the Swift language.
I talk about a lot on here, you'll find talk about:
- iOS dev #iosdev
- music and production #music
- weather #tnwx
- local politics
- anything else I'm randomly thinking
So all those people who say "get into #cycling its awesome" were totally right. I tried running last year, ran a few 5ks, but it never felt good while doing it.
I've had a bike since august or so, and even when its hard, its fun. I have explored and seen so much of #nashville I never would have without a bike. Friendships are better. I'm healthier physically and mentally.
Next step: working up to one of those more "serious" group rides. Still a bit too slow for one of those!
just spent way too long listening to WNXP 91.1 Nashville's public radio and it is absolutely WAY TOO GOOD. Whenever I feel like I've heard all the music in the world, its there to remind me that here are 10 songs, in a row, I've never heard, and I'm gonna like 'em.
In light of someone else doing this, I'll do the same! For the end of the year, here are 10 download codes to get my latest song 'cassette' for free.
I created a lofi, jazzy style instrumental that's inspired by a mix of the experience of listening to a personal cassette player and practicing to one of those "youtube jam tracks".

Not only is Over the Garden Wall my favorite Halloween movie* it is probably in my top 3 of all time any genre.
*I’m aware it’s structured as a limited series/tv show but let’s be real, it’s not even a full 2 hours total.
This is a friendly reminder that if you can afford it, but your #music!
If you have the extra $12 or so, make sure you own your favorite album. Or buy your 10 favorite singles. Own your playlist.
One day we may not have streaming, or it may be so polluted with AI slop its unusable.
Well its that time of the week again! I've released a new song called 'cassette' on #bandcamp and will be on streaming services soon.
As I was making it, it reminded me of those days pulling up jam tracks on YouTube and playing on top of them to practice.
The #cassette rewind noises are recorded from my Walkman!
This time change is criminal. I am approaching 30 here shortly and my body is no longer cool with suddenly being woken up an hour early everyday
I've been thinking more about the end goal and result of photography. Where do I share photos?
For most of my pictures, the end result is social media. But the end result has almost always been a physical print in your hand for most every human prior to the last 26 years. And its got me thinking that really a photo worth sharing is one worth printing.
I love his album Decide! I think it works especially well in the cassette format. Just kinda fits that vibe for me.
His latest called The Crux also has some excellent songs too; Potion is my favorite
My mastodon feed is like Nashville politics, cat pics, InfoSec, and then this one random account randomly placed amongst the above with the most over the top random thing ever said 😂
Just spent an ungodly amount of time organizing #music files with Picard. Honestly I can’t even tell the difference between lossless and MP3320 or AAC so why am I even bothering with these flacs? I guess why not keep the highest quality possible? 😴
Just saying, I do look at band stickers that are all over the wall in venues #music
The entire online community is hating her album, which in my opinion is a bad take. By the 2nd-3rd listen I am enjoying almsot every song. They are straight bops! It takes a second to grow on me but they are addicting!
