I've been compiling a set of mental models, approaches, schema, hacks, whatever you call them, as I figure out how the world works. So much of the anguish and torment of my youth was unnecessary and self-inflicted. Changing how I thought about the world let me get to happy.
Friends we’ve been on the Aotearoa music charts since we launched the album! This is the first week we’re not touring and selling merch. If you’re interested and able, consider buying a copy from Bandcamp: youmeeverybody.bandcamp.com/ Every one counts! Thank you!
Hey Auckland, we're playing a gig this weekend!

FYI, I am @gnat.bsky.social on the better place and ... it truly is better. Hope to see you there!
I am so crap at self-promotion! The Pipi Pickers (featuring yours truly on banjo) playing tonight at the Auckland Bluegrass Club. Evening starts 7:30pm at The Nix, 6 Nixon Street, Grey Lynn. We're up in the second half.

My next book is *The Lost Cause*. It's a climate emergency book. @LibraryJournal called it "a message hope in a near-future that looks increasingly bleak." As with all my books @Amazon refuses to sell the audiobook, so I'm selling it on @Kickstarter:

In an effort to bring you the most authentic sounding version of ‘Horse Power’ as possible the concerts will be mixed on this laptop using ProTools 5.2 with D-Verb all the way. TRUE DIGITAL VINTAGE.
