Stuff that happens IRL.

Yellowcard: Up Up Down Down Tour

["2026-06-11"]

We enjoyed seeing Yellowcard open for ADTR back in November; seeing them play a headline show with New Found Glory was even better.

Learning to ride a bike

["2026-05-31", "2026-06-01"]

After one month and over 325 miles, I've learned some things about riding a road bike.

Electric Callboy: TANZNEID World Tour

["2026-05-24", "2026-05-27"]

We finally got to see electronicore legends Electric Callboy live, and they showed that they really got the moves.

Fit for a King: The Lonely God Tour

["2026-05-17"]

I'll take live music performed in a small venue over over-produced arena-scale spectacle any day.

Bring Me The Horizon + Motionless In White

["2026-05-10"]

We went to Nashville to see BMTH and MIW in a rare (for us) arena show.

I gave in and got a road bike

["2026-05-01"]

After racking up *thousands* of road miles on a hybrid bicycle I decided to finally get a bike more fit for that purpose.

An evening with CAKE

["2026-04-26"]

Our most normie concert yet!

Today was a good day

["2026-04-10"]

I commuted in my Karmann Ghia, and then went to a planetarium to watch Integrity splash down with a bunch of fellow space nerds. I really needed a day like today.

Ghia tuneup for spring

["2026-04-05", "2026-04-06"]

I did a quick tune-up on my 1974 Karmann Ghia to get it ready to start driving it to work (hopefully).

I have improved my home

["2026-04-05"]

I did a small home improvement project: getting some of my larger LEGO models off the shelves where they took up too much space.

Dark Divine: Shallow Graves Tour

["2026-03-31"]

We just saw Dark Divine play the final show of their first US headline tour.

"Are You Ready for The Browning?"

["2026-03-15"]

No, that isn't a euphemism for gambling on a fart. At least not in this context.

Ghia Brake Pedal Adjustment and Bicycle Shift Cable Replacement

["2026-02-16"]

I took advantage of the lovely weather and holiday today to do a few bits of mechanical work I'd been putting off for a while.

January 2026 Check-in

["2026-01-31"]

Checking in and sharing some of what I've been up to this month because I'm real bad at blogging regularly (or irregularly, for that matter).

Tech Refresh 2025

["2025-12-25"]

I recently converted my Framework Chromebook into a real computer, bought a tiny open-source laptop, and switched to some new software and services.
