Oh. ffmpeg8 was released last fall and I totally missed it. Better get on that one...

Day job: professor.

Side hustle: musician.

Recently test mastered my second single. Listening in car, on earbuds, etc. to put it through its paces. Weird to have something I made just sitting in my music library with everything else, almost but not quite finished.

Do you draw elephants in real time when you give a talk? I mean, that'd be so cool...

Thank you, Jarvis! I certainly remember you on camera back when we were both playing and would watch coverage together.

Thank you. Very excited.

@bdm.bsky.social So, I stopped playing MTG a while ago. But my son still plays. I taught him when he was about 9, and at age 12 was the youngest at the time to Day 2 a limited GP.

He backed off a bit in high school/college, but plays regularly now.

Today he qualified for the PT. Top8 at the GP.

Oddly, this was not in any of my history books in K-12. Wonder why?

Academic my entire adult life. Depends on the field, but for most, slides are indeed expected.

All rematches in MD curling went to the team that lost the first time. Very thin margins at the top of the sport. #curling #olympics

It’s hard not to believe the world will be a better place when the boomers are gone. Not that my generation (X) will ever be in charge, since there are relatively few of us. Straight from Boomers to Millenials. Has to be an improvement.

Wait until this rocket scientist finds out Jesus didn’t speak English, either.

@zoekeating.com Do you play Wordle?

Pfft. I often barely listen to the lyrics and often listen to instrumental music anyway.

Sam Darnold has won a Super Bowl as a starter.

Patriots look almost exactly like they did against the Texans.

The difference is that the Seahawks have a running game and Darnold hasn’t thrown 4 picks.

We don’t get to do this all that often. Cozy.

Like everyone who grew up in Minnesota, I already knew that.

@zoekeating.com I was just looking through my music library to see how many things I had in 24/96 and realized that _Snowmelt_ will be EIGHT years old this year.

So since I'm already in the wayback machine, here's a pic of you from a show in Houston in... 2015.

Don’t worry, we’re going back to those days. Gotta defund science in order to afford… <checks notes> almost a trillion dollars for <rechecks>… Greenland. Yeah, Greenland.

NCAA is apparently on a mission to make NFL refs look good. Sheesh.

@tomgrossi.bsky.social I think Josh Allen is in the back pocket of the cardiology lobby.

If the thing you are clutching your pearls over today is an elected official using profanity during a press conference about STORMTROOPER THUGS MURDERING A WIDOWED MOM please fuck the fuck off.

The β€œprosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

8-4 Iowa beating 10-2 Vandy brought the Big Ten bowl record to 7-1 and the SEC’s to 2-5. Ouch.

It’s like everyone being able to pay players has wiped out the SEC advantage.

Glad you found it. I know how annoying it is to have bugs you know about but can’t find.
