The best jellyfish are the dead bits of jellyfish that wash up on the shore on rough days in August when the water gets warm. At night you can slap them on the beach and they will glow.

Saw him do that at The Beacon last year during the carrie and lowell tour. I’ve never heard a theater full of people so quiet for so long.

Peter King’s response was great: “its not his message we disagree with, its him as a human being... As a person”

I saw Crim a few years back in NYC and chatted with Adrian for a bit after the show. He was incredibly friendly and was so stoked that someone my age was into them. Now, Fripp on the other hand...

My dad had three great aunts who never married and also lived together and owned a petite-grand piano. When they passed we went to clean out the house and my mother decided she just HAD to have the piano. We hired movers, brought it to our house, and in the process of pushing it around the living room noticed the…

Ladybugs are cute and pretty until they INFEST your workspace. My old office had a major issue with them, literally thousands every year, so many you’d hear them plinking off the fluorescent light bulbs over your head. My desk was the epicenter. Every day during peak season I’d be borrowing the shopvac from the…

This is because I kicked you, isn’t it.

Didn’t your mom ever tell you to not wear a striped shirt on a web video? The moire! My eyes!

My mom had one of the original zip drives for her public relations business. She used it to send documents to professional printers for brochures etc. in the days before email. She used it forever until her favorite printer told her “uh, we don’t take these anymore”. Discs were like $10 each so she used to send them…

The one piece of college-dorm advice I’ve taken with me into the real world: extension cords are dangerous and should be avoided. That and halogen lamps. Back in my electrician days I saw way too many iffy extension cord setups (multiple cords plugged into multiple power strips, running giant appliances off lamp…
