It's Tuesday Somewhere
That article the other day that said we should rethink “I don’t have time for X” as “X is not a priority” resonated very clearly with me in the context of my fitness failure. It’s simply not a priority. Family, work, music, adequate sleep, and one or two nights a week of vegetating (judge me if you must) are all higher priorities and I’m totally...

Suburban Sportsball Wars!
Here’s an email from the head of Danny’s baseball league, sent to all the parents: FYI, to all RFYBS Families: Once again River Forest Rapids [the local travel soccer team] has chosen to schedule a tournament/games that directly conflict with our schedule.  Just so you know,  we will not adjust our schedule to accommodate another sport. This conflict will occur on Saturday, May...

“Do these people who stay out at parties until three if they feel like it, who...”
– Childlessness remains a taboo. - Slate Magazine Katie Roiphe says what most parents aren’t willing to admit, that we’re secretly jealous of people without kids. Sure, none of us would trade our kids for the “childfree” life once we have them, but it’s probably not healthy bury those feelings...

TT kinda looks like ∏ depending on the font
Over the last two days, I learned that I have friends dealing with thyroid cancer and multiple sclerosis, and another who had a small stroke. All are between 43 and 48 years old. What in the actual fuck? Starting last night and continuing today, I am having pain in the knuckles of the middle and ring fingers of my left hand. I suspect it may be arthritis. It’d be superfun if the universe...

Parenting
When things are going well, it’s there to bring you back to earth. When things are going badly, it’s a reminder you can always be screwing up even worse, possibly permanently ruining one or more innocent persons in the process.

Tumblr Fire Hose
engineering: We hear quite a bit about BIG DATA and REAL-TIME stuff. But I’m never sure exactly how BIG the data is or how REAL the time is. Seems like these are often just cool words that the cool kids like to throw around.  The Tumblr engineering staff is too busy to worry about being cool, but we do have BIG data and we are making it available in REAL time — starting today. We’re happy to...

Upcoming Show
Hey locals! After hibernating most of the winter, I’m trudging out of my cave for a busy spring and summer of making the rock. The first step back into the sunshine will be next Thursday in support of my friend and long-time collaborator Tony Rogers. We will be playing his fantastic Sycamore album in its entirety, along with the single “Great” that was memorably featured in...

Really bummed I missed the party last night. If any of you glorious chsh-ing bastards happened to grab my nametag last night, and would be willing to send it to me, I would appreciate it. I have a collection to maintain. I’ll send you a personalized reward of some kind in return, even. Something SPECIAL. Askbox me for my address…and thanks…

You glorious bastards
Wow, what a great time last night. I only managed to take two pictures and they are blurry messes, but that may be an accurate representation of how I actually experienced the evening, come to think of it. Major props to DJ girldetective and MC yodelmachine for making the karaoke happen. It turns out pretend people from the Internet really know how to sing. And I think we have to consider putting...
