I know it's just because she loves and supports me, but my wife's recent insistence that I get an apartment in NYC has me wondering if 25 years of my snoring has finally made her snap.

Y'all know I fat fingered dependent, right?

Welcome back to the profile where I just post depressing stuff.

Here's today's:

With all of the cuts happening at the hands of DOGE without regard for downstream impact, I am, for the first time, relieved my son is gone. His survival was deoendent on so many social gov't supports.

Had the saddest realization driving home late at night. When my son was born, we were given the option of letting him pass away in the NICU but we said if he wasn't going to make it, we'd rather he be home. 21 years later, that's exactly what happened.

This is Magic Studio for anyone wondering. I also have Resolume, and they are very different beasts, but I found myself understanding Magic's UI far more easily.

Old dog. New tricks.

Sadly, I'd just feel like I was playing Putt-Putt golf.

It does get easier. But it's always painful. I recover more quickly than I used to, though this month is tougher than most because he loved the holidays and was born in December. Putting his ornaments on the tree hurts for sure. And I'll never be able to watch the Charlie Brown xmas special again.

Welcome to Shit Nobody Wants To Hear:

When something triggers a memory of my late son, I more often than not recall the moment the morticians wrapped his body and lifted it from his bed.

This is my most prominent memory of him, and I hate it.

I touched it once.

Not even sure what I'm going to use it for yet, purchased anyway. Okay, not entirely true. I'm looking to create dynamic video backgrounds for my streams and this seemed like an incredibly overpowered way to achieve that. Just like when I used Ableton to remove 30 seconds of audio from a track. 😅

We gave him as good a life as we could for as long as he could endure it. It was never easy, but I hope in the end he knew how loved he was. It's a bad day to be getting on a plane to Austin, leaving my family to grieve his birthday without me.

Literal decades since I last heard this. Thank you!

Today would have been my son's 23rd birthday. Miss you, kiddo.

Deeply appreciate that. I always worry that I'm about to let y'all down. Or that every set has to match or exceed the last, which is just kind of a ridiculous notion.

My greatest fear at the moment is that I'm not actually good at the thing that has brought me the most joy.

Gimme a fader and some reverb and I'll James Hype the shit out of that.

That's smart! Because then the hot dog is a condiment for the ketchup, and condiments are free.

Tagging @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social !

I truly hate that moment where I realize my gimmick for a set isn't working and I have to just start over. Who will see my cleverness now???

This is it. This is the weekend I clear my comic book backlog.

Every now and then, I feel compelled to photograph my DJ livestream setup.

Reminds me of DJ Pixzy.

"DJ that can't dance" is practically my brand.

I popped into X just to vibe check and ended up watching Trump's 10 point education plan where he clearly states we're going to teach both math and arithmetic. Now, before you correctly tell me they are not the same, I want you to pause a moment and ask yourself: do you honestly think he knows that?

Do not underestimate how relaxing it is to just organize board games.

Downside of phoning in a DJ set: ends up not being great.

Upside: spent a week of evenings with my family instead of at my decks. Was kinda nice to see them again. 😅

Things will be back to normal by the next set.

Walked out on a gig earlier. Just got tired of being the person who shows up prepared and having to compensate for other people. Rather than sit there and be angry about it, I grabbed my stuff and left. Not very professional of me, I know.
