    Weather

    I'm in NYC right now and it's unbearable. Mid-90s and instant sweat levels of humidity. Living in SF has made me a pussy when it comes to any weather warmer than 75 or colder than 55.

    I don't remember the exact name. It was for the infrastructure services in Cincinnati, OH.

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    I think the point was to post the bullshit. I think Unchained is a pretty dope song though.

    MLB 2016

    Minor league game, but this is the wildest double play I've ever seen. Not sure it could be repeated if they tried. WATCH: Umpire gets a kick save on this rare 1-Ump-6-3 double play

    This is really good. Get a lot of Wilco vibes from this.

    Sex, Drugs, Riffs & Solos: The Rock Thread \m/

    I had never listened to any of that project yet. Better than expected. Heard they've been pulling out some wild covers on their tour too. Some King Crimson covers. And of course a couple Primus songs thrown in.

    I've never heard of this term "brills". May need to add that one to my lexicon.

    If you're going to wait an hour for Cracker Barrel you might as well wait in line for Hash House. Same wait. Much better food.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    This band is surprisingly good. Great jazzy pop. You probably know them more for the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack song Lovefool.

    I'll second the Tapatio Doritos. I'm not even a chip kinda guy. But if those are at a party I'll munch on those all day/night.

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    Technically yes but NIN and Primus started in the very late 80s. The bookends of the 80s are solid. I thought the new wave sound was pretty damn good. Old school Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, The Police for early 80s. Primus, NIN, GnR, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Tool for the late...

    I need medical advice - blew out my ankle

    I never broke a bone either until a couple years ago. Quit trying to be a tough guy.

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    I think most 80s music is terrible. Over produced, embrace of shitty synths way too much, snares hits sound like explosions. Grunge saved us. Give me dry production anyday. I can't imagine most of those 80s bands being good live due to all the studio magic. Plus the 80s ruined The Police.

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    Negative. Nirvana had great songs. But I'm a musician snob and almost all the other grunge bands had vastly better musicians in them. Soundgarden is by far my favorite. Matt Cameron: dope drummer. Kim Thayil: dope guitarist. Chris Cornell: voice so good I get wiggles in my pants. Plus...

    Fuck yeah. Punch Brothers are so good. Chris Thile is the man.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    This song just came up on my shuffle playlist. I have to tell people to STFU when this song comes on. One of the favorite songs off one of my favorite albums of all time. So fucking good.

    What do you do?

    I worked for a mega corporation (GE) for six months and it was the worst job I ever had. I hated it more than when I worked for the Ohio Department of Transportation and picked up fucking roadkill off the side of the road. It was incredibly boring. No one had any ambition there. I automated...

    This is probably a Bay Area thing, but some of the McD's around have started offering Gilroy Garlic Fries. Which are some of the most amazing garlic fries in the world. This is false advertisement. They are nothing like Gilroy Garlic Fries. Soggy mess.

    It's a mixed bag. On one end it sucks seeing some of that knowledge completely leave my mind. I'm mediocre at best with SQL now and my PHP skills are practically non-existent. I can barely maneuver through Unix/Linux at this point as well. However, I think my personality and skillset is a...

    Kurt Cobain was murdered (probably).

    I liked Nevermind a lot when I was in elementary school and listened to it a fuckload. I much prefer STP (first two albums), Soundgarden, and AiC when it comes to the grunge sound though.

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    I think Puscifer is pretty bad. Unless the material they've put out recently is completely different than the shit I heard 5-6 years ago.

    I'm moving into a Sales Engineer role which is all about being able to explain complex systems or software to clueless C-level execs. There is a massive demand for that type of role in SF.
