I’ll be playing acoustic versions of a bunch of my songs, and answering some Q&A as we go! And … | Continue reading

Today something fucked up with my mail server and I’m sick of dealing with it, so I migrated my mail to Purely Mail, which is great, and there’s still a bunch of shit broken on my site as a result of things fucking up but whatever, at least now I can receive mail again and I don’ … | Continue reading
Stuff’s going on as usual. Here’s some of it. | Continue reading
Woke up today in considerable pain, but I did some of my physical therapy stretches and some of the stretches that Castiel showed me on Wednesday and that helped somewhat. I also spent 10 minutes on my vibration plate which helped as well. | Continue reading
I got back from Denver very late last night, and boy were my arms tired. And legs. And body. | Continue reading
Having an in-person, actually-live show was such a great thing for my psyche. | Continue reading

I haven’t posted here in a while so I figured I should do that, just to keep folks informed of my continued existence. | Continue reading
Lately I’ve been getting a bunch of attempted spam comments on random blog entries. Okay, nothing unusual about that, right? | Continue reading
I’m over COVID, and just have a little lingering bronchitis. Also some of the worst brain fog I’ve ever had. I feel like my brain’s been through a blender. Spatial relationships make very little sense, my reaction times are super slow, I am definitely not safe driving right now, … | Continue reading
Last night I started feeling significant pain whenever I inhaled too deeply, telling me there was either pleurisy or another embolism happening. I gave it several hours to try to resolve on its own, and it just got worse and worse, so this morning, I headed to the ER. | Continue reading
I hate how every time I get sick, be it with COVID or anything else, I spend so much time feeling worthless and like I’m in limbo and like everything is passing me by. | Continue reading
I seem to have made it through the worst of the COVID. My fever’s mostly gone, and my cough is way less severe (which is good because oh my god does it hurt to cough anymore). I’ve lost five pounds since Friday but also I’m finally getting my appetite back so hopefully I can cush … | Continue reading
These are the documentation files for my Critter Junction Resident avatar. While some of the information in here may be of general interest, it is really intended as reference material for those who have purchased the avatar. As such, if you find any of this information helpful, … | Continue reading

I’m back at home. They did a CT scan but there wasn’t anything too concerning, it just seems that I was coughing hard enough that I had a minor bleed in my lungs, exacerbated by the blood thinners I take due to my clotting disorder. The prognosis is to just not take my blood thin … | Continue reading
i’m in the ER because I started coughing up blood this morning. so much for releasing my new avatar today… | Continue reading
so I’ve gotten COVID for a third time, an this time it’s hitting me way harder and for the first time I’m having a Very Strong Positive test result. I thought I was just having really bad allergies (and antihistamines were working) but today when I got home from the choir show I … | Continue reading

Furality is the largest virtual furry convention, which takes place annually in VRChat. This past year (Umbra) was also the most highly-attended furry convention of any kind ever, with a whopping 21,000 attendees! | Continue reading
It’s really unfortunate how I’m stuck in the hinterland between being too disabled to work but being too abled to get on disability (at least not easily). Dealing with Social Security has been super frustrating and I’m not expecting to get a full hearing or determination any time … | Continue reading
I have a whole bunch of stuff going on right now and most of it involves things that people can come see me at! | Continue reading
So, I went to the Kia dealership, and it took them an hour to figure out where my car’s keys were. Also they had trouble finding my customer record, because it turned out the service advisor misspelled my name, and they don’t have a good way to search their system. Disorganized c … | Continue reading
A question that keeps on coming up in my conversations is: where exactly is the electric vehicle adoption the highest? | Continue reading
I finally got in touch with someone at the Kia dealership who said that my car will be ready to pick up tomorrow, after “only” a month being stuck there. Ugh. | Continue reading
In my last post about Logic I saw a lot of potential in the chord track but found that the UX was pretty lacking. Since then I’ve seen a few Logic-related videos that have found some better ways of interacting with it: | Continue reading
I guess it’s been a week since my last update post so here’s what’s going on with me. | Continue reading
One of the most poorly-defined yet critical things in configuring a VR avatar is where exactly to place the viewpoint. It can have a lot of impact on your viewing experience, especially with how the viewpoint ends up relating to the rest of the body. This becomes especially criti … | Continue reading

Critter v1.7 brings a bunch of new features, some of which will require some changes to your existing avatar setup. | Continue reading
So you’ve enjoyed becoming critter, but you want even better customization with your horns: when you’re a different material, you’d like to be able to change the sound that is made by your horns being popped off. | Continue reading
There is a really pervasive trend in video these days where people will use (usually auto-generated) open captions (sometimes called “burned captions”), where the text for the narration or the like is baked into the image of the video. This is sometimes accompanied by some attent … | Continue reading
The latest version of Logic released today, with some much-vaunted features. It’s also finally gone to version 11, after being stuck on 10.x for over a decade, even though 10.x minor version updates were often larger than the differences between major versions (and those major ve … | Continue reading
Okay so. Originally they were going to lend me a Kia Forte, which is a tiny economy car, but that was returned in unsafe condition. | Continue reading

Today, right around when I was about to leave for the Matrix test drive, I got a call from the dealership: the loaner was available, but it wasn’t in a totally safe state due to a huge crack on the windshield. They asked if I still wanted it and I said I’d rather not. | Continue reading

I took my car to the local Kia dealership to get TSB ELE234 taken care of on Tuesday. I still don’t have my car back or any indication of when I’ll be getting it back. | Continue reading

It’s been a little while again! I think I like these collected updates rather than doing daily micro-dumps, and it’s also nice posting it here instead of on Mastodon or whatever. Timeline-based social media kinda bums me out these days. | Continue reading
