You are a very good writer. I related deeply. Many used to refer to my generation as rock stars and I hated that because it makes it about me and the web is not about me it's about we. It's important for my notoriously public emo processing to be offset by positive contributions.

I would also like to talk about audio as being part of the web not an addition this is an interesting statement to me. I want to see sensory input and output for the web on every layer of human sense perception. Multiple-input multiple-output used well expand user experience.

You've got my curiosity as to why things are terrible for developers where you live. I'm working on a book and insight about how developers make their living, in what conditions they work, how they learn, and quality of their lives. If it's terrible I want to know why. Thanks!

My friends are aging hippie farmers who have grown things for decades. Amanita muscaria grows wild on Mount Lemmon just to the north of me. I have no need personally. General interest, topic of conversation. But I thank you for the thought!
I'm really glad to hear you're still doing Tech. What about recording? You have a studio down in your upside down hemisphere? Still playing? I just had a flashback to your wedding when you both played violin or were you playing Viola? Totally loved that. So many great memories.

That tweet was perfect. So eloquent and spot-on. Well done my friend. Was that tweet improvisational or precisely crafted? Did those words have their way with you or you with them. I'm going with Improv based on your articulate description of the relationship between the two.

Quality assurance is good for software as well as musical excellence. 31 years is a marathon, not a short sprint when it comes to either much less both. I call that street cred here. You guys actively playing shows? Lead singers and songwriters make or break bands. No small task.

PS I like Portishead. I I can't imagine they were anything less than unusual live. It's not exactly Mosh Pit music. But I can see how sitting on a cloud watching the ambience drive by might work. Smoking shrooms. Grown in manure? Stop that shit. Literally. E-coli is not friendly.

Smoking mushroom joints? Cake you guys do weird stuff over there. Who smokes shrooms? Grow them blue meanies from legit spores separate cap and stem dehydrate then stick them in your face then chew and that's how it's done. America's going to school you on how to be a fun guy.😉

You're looking for a web developer? You just wandered into the right party dude. All you got to do is ask. Somebody will hook you up. If you can't find a web developer nearby I'd be surprised. You have the web equivalent of Jagger and Richards and all their friends right here. 😛

I see that Eric is cc'd on this he's known me since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Offended? I'm the one who tends to be offensive. Speak your truth. Brooklyn born New Jersey raised. Blunt honesty, sharp edges with nuanced humor excite. Just don't pull a Will Smith and we're good!

I like that you played in a symphony. Orchestral music is less easy than people might think. As is choir. To work with so many people, follow your conductor, know where everybody is at at every moment demands a lot of sensory input while you're perfecting the output. Focus!

I've been looking into 88 key simple boards don't need many voices but a strong piano sound. Effects are less important than sound quality. Always interested in recommendations. Do you play it or does it stay in its case? I have two guitars cased one at the ready the rest stored.

Long Live Notepad! We were both windows at that point? Remember doing those backgrounds with your sister's watercolors when background images of skulls and eggs where are all the rage? We were way cooler and more imaginative. Do you do web ever? Or are the alpacas too demanding?

Two broken makes me sadder than one broken cello. A broken accordion makes me giggle. A broken according next to a broken banjo? Hilarious.
OMG if I'd waited until there were no flaws in this piece of work we'd be sitting here for eternity. No flaws? How boring. It's like having no scars. It's like never having lived at all or being pretty pink and perfect forever. To be flawless? Improbable, likely impossible.

To say something is partly just me reveals that diversity Christian. Does it mean suffering is good for anybody? That our pain is measurable using a 0 to 10 abstract measure? It's partly just me. I may not like it, but it's mine. Mine to adapt to mine to fail and mine to repair.

That's true for me. I'm comforted when I remember how humans are measurably diverse. We are genetically and biologically less diverse than most species on Earth! Human diversity is endogenous, not exogenous. Experience, personality, cognition, how we feel pain, how we express it.
