Weird thought that may make no sense trying to explain in text: Pull all the electronic stuff out of "Break Free" by Ariana Grande, like stripe it down to just the vocal melody and that chorus pattern. Not the instruments or anything else. Ok, listen to that. That's what I want a new Blink-182 song to sound like. I want a call and return with that ... "lyric, lyric, <pause pause>, lyric lyric lyric lyric." Pull the instruments from the first part, and then have them crash in and speed up the last section of it.

Just passed 200 members. So, well, here goes nothing. No turning back now.

Real talk: I'm legit more frightened of the lady that runs the home owner's association that got mad at me because the contractors that were fixing my wall walked through the common area today than I am of Ronnie Radke's threats on Twitter. Seriously, she could like fine me or something.

I haven't talked with @Thomas Nassiff in like three weeks now. I think I'm gonna start sending him voice memos so he doesn't forget my podcasting voice.

'West Wing,' saltine crackers, and beer. The next 10 days is going to be hell on my sleep and stomach.

Found myself in a Jimmy Eat World catalog dive tonight:

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night,
on a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you, you can lick and seal then fold in two,
then I've been so blind.

Also, I added line breaks to status posts.

Walk on the dark side: Introducing: Dark Mode

Finished the "dark mode" theme for the website tonight. Going to do some more testing of it over the next few days to make sure I didn't miss anything and roll it out. Supporters can get an early look and help give it a spin by checking the supporter's forum.

Buzz, your Warped Tour lineup ... woof.

33. And I stayed up until midnight to watch some 'Daredevil.' Things are good.

Working on a "dark mode" for the forums today. So far I think it looks pretty bad ass.

Joined Letterboxd, hopefully I remember to use it: http://letterboxd.com/jasontate/

Still having trouble sleeping at night. Gonna start 'The West Wing' again.

Overcast, my favorite podcast player, got updated with a dark theme today that I truly love. Thinking these forums will need a dark theme someday when I find some free hours.

2:30 am, can't sleep, workers are coming in like 7 hours to fix the mold in the wall. This is gonna be a fun week.

How do you put a background image like that on your profile? I can't figure it out.

I have no reason for it but this damn kids playing basketball halftime show is making me emotional and I don't know why. They look like they're just having so much fun out there. Smiling and laughing. Is someone cutting onions in here?!

Had way too much fun putting together some more Star Wars emoji for the site today.

Ok, time to fix some more bugs. Tonight's tunes: https://itun.es/us/P0-i5

Adding new emoji to the site tonight. Super excited about the very nerdy ones.

I haven't seen 'Wall Street' in a long while, think I'm gonna watch that tonight. Past few days on the site have flown by.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

We've already passed 7,500 posts on the forums, almost up to 100 members, and we've barely just started. This is amazing. Turns out some design tweaks (and an awesome community) really does lead to lots of engagement in the threads.

I can't believe how hopping the forums are already, seriously blowing my expectations out of the water. I even find myself becoming lost for a few hours playing with things because of how easy it is to find new conversations and threads + how awesome the entire community has been these past few days. Just incredible. I'm still nervous about the future and this year, but less so, because of everyone here.
