More surreal Toronto street art signs at the link. "Warning! Frog", etc. The phone number apparently works but I haven't called it yet!

per my "adventures of pete & pete" rewatching over the weekend (see: https://mltshp.com/p/1RTSB)
of all the wondrous cameos dotting the series (iggy pop! juliana hatfield! marshall crenshaw! kate pierson!) i had completely blanked on the fact that michael stipe himself popped up in one of the (pre-series) specials - "what we did on our summer vacation", which aired in 1991
also, important addendum, i need that "captain scrummy" cap ASAP

That green thing is the “dumpster” at #letoile. And these pixies are dancing on it apropos of some island based Up with People offshoot… or so I’m told…
It’s not entirely clear…
the extended bus rides and the cannabis I’m forced to consume to tolerate them make for strange bedfellows from time to time…
Hell…
It’s August, I’m tired, they might not even be there….
I should take a photo…
Wait.

screenshot from animated series "king of the hill": main character hank hill looks down at a piece of paper in shock and dismay, his eyes wide and his mouth turning into a frown. (episode context: he is reading a report from a football player who is doing work study at his propane shop; the report is poorly written and disdainful of the business.) in the background, his "employee of the month" photo with his boss can be seen
from "king of the hill" s5e5, "peggy makes the big leauges"
one of my favorite quotes from the series, via brendan fraser's guest character in this episode: "it smells, and i thank god every day i get home that i didn't get exploded, the end."

A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.
You got to Wowsville! At least in my estimation!
DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.
I had to look it up... the 2024 event was 240 miles long. So, an average of 10 mph for 24 hours.
That's a beast. Congratulations!
That's a beast. Congratulations!
This is absolutely amazing!
We managed around 11.4 mph average with three planned stops and a few other random stops, @ardgedee. Our finishing time was 21 hrs 7 min.
Between 100 miles on the MTB a few weeks ago and these 240 on the gravel steed I'm ready for some shorter rides for awhile, @cwhartman!

Dude in the Jurassic Park office with about 4 computers on his desk
"For a film shot in 1993 — when a lot of households still didn’t have computers — Jurassic Park contained a ton of them. The offices in the movie have everything from Mac powerbooks to high-end graphics-workstations and even supercomputers. Silicon Graphics donated $875,000 worth of computer equipment, Apple donated $350,000, and the filmmakers got another $500,000 of “additional hardware and software”.
Over at his blog, Fabian Sanglard has written a byzantine exegesis of every computer that appears onscreen; he’s got over three dozen screenshots, and he outlines every machine in each."

square instagram photo, somewhat low res: OP (left) sitting on a couch, hunched over a nylon string guitar, with one side of a stereo pair of mics in front of him. to his right, a second person fallen asleep on a pile of mic cases on the other side of the couch. behind them is a studio sound diffuser on the wall
something coming down the pipeline, thought i’d let MLTSHP know about it first.
a few months ago, when i moved to a new laptop, i found an intriguing session bounce, labeled only “windmills - nick - acoustic”.
it turned out to be a long, uncut stereo recording of me in 2015, noodling through some song ideas for the windmills drummer while we took a break from recording a full band track. (photographic evidence above; i lulled him to sleep)
in between the noodling, the rambling, and the joking, there were a few songs i played all the way through in somewhat-coherent form. they were rough, but at least somewhat complete, so i thought “why not release ‘em?"
god bless my friend dereck, who engineered the original sessions. (https://www.quiethouserecording.com/) he not only found the original session files in his archives, but he was able to extract them, do some basic mixing/mastering, and turn them into usable tracks in less than an hour. bless him, he’s too good.
so! next week, probably on the next bandcamp friday, i’ll release a few scruffy tracks. listen for free, pay a few bucks for a download if you like ‘em. i’ll consider it motivation to work on new music, which i’ve been kind of missing (and lightly dabbling with again) lately.
will post when they’re out in the wild, but you can keep an eye on my page if you like:

This is kind of random, but what is a session bounce?
There is a line in one of Tierra Whack’s new songs where she says “Heard your check bounced like this session file” which seems related. I tried to look it up, but am not sure what I’m looking for.

hmm, actually, let me rewrite that explanation a little more clearly now that i'm in front of a keyboard.
@robotmachine in modern recording, either analog or digital, you are usually recording multiple components in a session, each one as its own distinct “track” on the tape or session file. (i.e. you have a track for the guitar mic, a track for the vocal mic, a track for a bass, etc, etc)
you can play the entirety of the tracks within your recording setup, but when you want to play them elsewhere, you need to reduce or "bounce" all of those tracks down into a single stereo track. usually a bounce is done when all the recording and mixing is finished so the track can be handed off for final mastering and release, but it can sometimes be made just to listen to what you've recorded so far on an ipod or home stereo.

@nikkuneko thank you! I was really curious and it was strange that I couldn’t find a straight forward explanation. This is perfect.
Looking forward to hearing this, btw. :)

There's a font that spells two messages depending on how you look at it. The first letter of the message has a fuzzy dark "D" with the letter "P" superimposed over it in a thin-outlined font. Taken as a whole, the message reads "DAY DREAM" if you pay attention to the fuzzy letters in the background, and "PAY BILLS" if you pay attention to the thin outlined letters in the front.
Decoy font

A dull evening with a lavender sky. A small tree trunk with a few bare branches sits in the middle of a grassy slope. Two traffic lights are precariously fixed to the tree. One, facing the viewer, is showing yellow. The second, facing left, casts a red beam through a slight fog. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

a 3D printer with a little printed orange boat inside sits on a wooden stage in an old town hall building in front of a painted curtain which has a tableau of the floating bruidge (which is right outside)
I went to help people with tech at the Repair Fair today, It was in Brookfiend Vermont (pop. 900-ish), one town over from where I live which has as its claim to fame, a floating bridge. The event was at the local town hall building which has been lovingly restored including a painted theater curtain which has a view of the floating bridge. I brought my friend Matt and HE brought his 3D printer. Not a lot of people needed tech help but a lot of people had questions about the 3D printer. The whole time I was thinking "Damn, I really should have brought my mending"
workhorse of a printer. only problems I've had with mine is occasional filament breaks inside the AMS which required a annoying amount of disassembly to fix.
I also only use it in local mode, because fuck cloud connected devices that can catch fire.

A drawing in pencil on paper, it consists of a lot of text and primitively drawn characters. Beyond that, words fail me.
My current project at work is framing works for the upcoming student works show for the local school district. This one was this week's favorite.
I might have to contact the artist and try to purchase it.
