    Some really good deals on Philips Hue bulbs on Amazon right now. According to camelcamelcamel.com  at $10, this is the cheapest they’ve ever been. @tweethue

    Good reporting from the New Yorker on Fox/White House. Back in middle school I remember learning about Vremya, the Soviet-era state-run news channel and thinking to myself If the citizens know the channel is just propaganda, why do they still watch it?

    As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), for the tax years 2018 through 2025, you cannot deduct home office expenses if you are an employee. THANKS TRUMP!!!!

  • 1994 Fender Blues Deluxe (reissue) Amp For Sale

    I’ve lost count of how long I’ve been gigging with this amplifier. At least 10 years. Maybe closer to 15. It’s played hundreds of shows, that’s for sure. And it has never let me down. 

    I’m thinking about selling it because I am too old to carry it around any more. It’s not that it’s *that* heavy. It’s just not light and I need something light.

    It is cosmetically beat up, for sure. But is sounds amazing and is so much more reliable than any of the crazy expensive amps (Victoria, etc.) that other guitarists I’ve played with use.

    According to the fender website this amp was manufactured around September 1994. It’s got a 12” speaker and 40watts of tube power. Read more specs here.

    Here are some pictures. If you are interested, drop me an email or DM me @sjwillis on twitter.

    Cool to hear @manoushz covering the decentralized web. Or what I like to call “2006.” Also didn’t realize that Mozilla was in the podcast biz. Anyway, here’s Manoush give her a listen on IRL.

    Just had to restart ntp as it was causing a CPU spike at 100% for hours. It’s like that time the really quiet kid in class all of a sudden has a total freakout.
