• 1994

    I’m not really into country music. I don’t know anything about it. Today I ran across this video and I rather like it. I was a college freshman in 1994, and this song brought back all kinds of feels.

  • Seether

    27 years ago today I saw Veruca Salt for the second time, and it was my first time seeing a band at First Avenue. First Avenue is still my favorite venue. It was also the first time I saw a band member crowd surf. I don’t remember if it was Louise or Nina, but I remember them jumping into the Crowd. Eight Arms to Hold You is such a great album, easily in my top 10 albums of the 90s.

  • Vote

    I voted a month ago, so I didn’t get a fancy sticker. I did wear my blue work shirt for good luck. 💙💙💙

  • Pizza Night

    Friday nights are usually pizza nights during the summer. Now that the weather is cooling, pizza nights are getting numbered. It’s taken a lot of practice, but I think we’ve perfected our homemade pizza. I make the dough from scratch, and the sauce is even made with tomatoes from our garden.

     


  • FreshRSS

    Last night I was banging my head against the wall trying to get a cron job for FreshRSS running. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I should have just quit right away. I wasted so much time. This morning I tried again and bingo, I got it working right away. Everything always seems to work better after you sleep on it.

    Yes I still live in my RSS reader. There are so many good RSS feed readers nowadays. The best ones tend to have a subscription fee. I was a subscriber for many years, but about a year ago I was feeling subscription overload, so I started hosting my own with FreshRSS on my home server.

    I hate the UI of all of the self hosted RSS feed readers. Luckily my favorite reader app Reeder works with FreshRSS, so I don’t have to deal with the crappy UI.

    Now I’m running a FreshRSS instance on my home server and one on my remote server. I’m trying to decide which is better. I have a feeling the remote server might be more reliable because it’s not running in my house and I won’t be constantly messing with it.

  • Keychain

    For the Christmas before I turned 16 my Mom gave me a Denver Broncos keychain to use when I get my drivers license. Well, 34 years later and I’m still using it. The Denver Broncos logo as long since warn off, but it’s the only keychain I have ever had or used.

  • 27 Years

    27 years ago today I saw the Foo Fighters for the first time at the Fargo Civic Center. 6 months later I would get a job in Fargo and move here.
