Winter
It’s here.

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.

The Idiots Are Taking Over
This 21 year old song from NOFX couldn’t be more relevant. Also, how the hell is this song 21 years old?

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.

Is this thing still on?
I think I’m going to brush the dust off this thing and give it another go.
