Monthly avatar change ... going with exasperated Calvin.

God damn I love this Manchester Orchestra album.

'The Roosevelts' on Netflix is utterly fantastic. It's a beast, but worthy of the name.

Hannah's gone for the weekend so I'm watching history documentaries and drinking cheap beer.

Not a bad night.

Finally got my vinyl collection all cataloged in Discogs. I have more records than I thought I did.

I’m watching billiards videos on YouTube instead of answering emails or doing any work at the moment. #selfemployedlife

Launched Chorus 2.0 today.

Feeling pretty good about it. So far, all the metrics are even better than I could have hoped for (speed wise). Already have some people buying ads too! Really excited about that, and I really hope it works as well as I think it will. The first group will be a good test of how my automated systems work for approving them, getting them in the database, processing payments, sending emails, automatically getting them on the site on the right day, and that whole thing ...

Fingers crossed, but this is really cool. Nerdy, but cool.

It's a little weird that All Time Low made the progression with their last album that I wanted Blink-182 to make on their deluxe songs.

This new LANY album is a great late night summer album. Chill and groovy.

Chorus 2.0 changes are done and tested. Now I just gotta write-up the announcement post and pick a day to roll them out.

The simple t-shirts I like are on sale for $4 and I just bought basically all of them.

Riverdale is now on Netflix ... I've got a massive thing for teenage drama shows and this definitely scratched the itch.

The Bleachers review embargo is up today, there's a first listen thread up in the Supporter Forum if you'd like to know my detailed thoughts.

New Goldfinger album is a whole lot of fun, it's not great/great but it's definitely gonna get a lot of spins this summer.

Half the closet fell down today. So that's fun.

The new Allie X album is really-fucking-good.

Final run of bug fixes on the testing server are basically done. Now I need to do a little more testing via VMs to test some browsers/other operating systems, and then we'll be good to go.

Swimming in an embarrassment of riches with new music right now.

Tough problem to have.

Related to the post ... I can't believe how cheap a basic and simple testing server is given what I was paying way back in the day. My server bills at one time were in the upper four figures a month with AP.net and now it's like 5 bucks a month for Linode I can use to test all sorts of stuff with.

Testing server has new Chorus code pushed to it, it works! It's alive. Now I just need to make some bug fixes and hit it with a lot of traffic to make sure it's as fast as I think it should be and then test credit card processing one more time.

New Bleachers, All Time Low, and Goldfinger on the playlist for the day.

The weather went from raining and cold .... to extremely warm. Haha. No middle ground this year I guess.

Gorgeous outside though.
