All the cool kids building cyberdecks inspired me to build...The Kyberdeck! This is my stage rig for @thekyberpunks.bsky.social, built into a Pelican 1400. Mac Mini M4 running MainStage, 10.5" touchscreen, iRig HD X for in/out, plus a USB foot pedal. I drilled a cable port on the left wall.

Brian is loaded up with six remastered tracks (some of which are majorly upgraded) and two brand new songs: "Boska! Boska!" which is our new open-the-show number, and "My Heart's In Hyperdrive," which is our version of a Rick Springfield pop-rock meet-cute in space. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Thank the maker! The stolen data tapes containing early mixes of our new album, Take Flight, have been recovered by droidsmith @stormtrooperguy.com! He will be validating the files this weekend at @fanexpoboston.bsky.social! Head to sector CZ120 this weekend to help audibly verify their integrity!

This is my red whale, so to speak. It’s not available locally and seems to only be offered in the East and Midwest? One day I hope to find some. Thought it was a myth!

How do I feel? I don’t really know, but thanks for asking, I’ll get back to you.

Yeah, I'm digging this one. TAGLINE​: August 4, 2026 Today's Letters: EIJNRSU Hints Used: 0️⃣ ⭐⭐⭐ www.merriam-webster.com/games/tagline

My mom never let me listen to KISS because she said it stood for Knights In Satan's Service. I grew up in the 70s but totally missed the whole theatrical shebang. I'm going to watch KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park now without asking for permission, because I'm an adult. Also, she's dead.

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

OMG this. Yes, stories often share recognizable building blocks. But identifying a 2x4 does not make you an architect.

Can't find a way to make this work as my banner image, so I'm pinning it instead.

Travel deep enough into the Backrooms and you will find Bjork.

It is taking every ounce of restraint not to share some of the new Kyberpunks tracks in advance. I'm so happy with them. I only wish... OH WAIT. If you are going to FanExpo Boston this weekend, seek out droidsmith extraordinaire @stormtrooperguy.com and lend an ear as DJ R3X drops the beat...

B3-4T is ready for her closeup, thanks to Ryan Swift! Trev and Jaad look okay too, you know, for organics. Holoscans courtesy of @ryanswift.bsky.social

Negativity is easy. The internet is filled with hot takes and hate takes and active suppression of joy. I just wanna acknowledge I had a great weekend. Movie, swimming, hammock, games, booze, creative projects, dumb TV, good food, and lotsa quality time with Kat. I am grateful for the good stuff.

Global warming is a hoax, right? Maybe to anybody whose house is not on fire. Guess what it will take to make those people comprehend?

The dream

It's a rock way to the long if you wanna roll and top

Furiously debating the merits of near-final mixes of tracks for our upcoming album, Take Flight. Should Jaad's solo stand out more? Is Trevor's Huttese correct? Is there enough B3 in the mix? (Everybody but B3 thinks so.) Dalan is doing a masterful job on the mastering. You'll hear it all...Soon!™

Scary morning as my iOS apps immediately closed upon launch. Couldn't find the answer and in desperation let google search's AI help. Dammit, it did. A corrupted iOS network file stopped apps couldn't authenticate. Slightly scary reset action fixed it. Thank you, sentient database...?

Experimenting

I never had a ColecoVision, and seeing this vintage ad from 1984 makes me wish I'd gotten in on this good deal!

don't forget to block folks who want to use your posts for their propaganda

I have been very eagerly awaiting this week's expected delivery but okay

well, it’s a bummer that the piece of tech didn’t work, but I am glad that Amazon returns are pretty easy #gratefulwed
