If everything else #Meta wasn’t bad enough already… now this. I’m so glad I no longer use any Meta (cr)apps. I dropped it in 2018, went back in 2023 for some friends, & dropped it again in later 2024. If you’re still there, just get out. NOW. #tech #internet #DumpMeta www.theverge.com/2025/1/24…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Barenaked Ladies - Maybe You Should Drive (1994). Seeing as how I played #BNL’s Stunt, I figured I’d put on the first album of their I bought :) #music #AAA #PopRock www.youtube.com/watch

I just happened across this fascinating little #ESP32 based air quality monitoring device and am excited. It’s all open source and based on low cost, high availability components. While the campaign hasn’t started yet, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t affordable. #tech #climatechange #health www.crowdsupply.com/networked…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Barenaked Ladies - Stunt (20th Anniversary Edition)(1998). Great album from a wonderful band from the heyday or #AAA on the radio. A shoutout to #ThePointFM in #Vermont! #music #barenakedladies www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight (1978). I just love Cheap Trick. Fantastic rock band. Enormous catalog of music. Get diggin’! #music #cheaptrick www.youtube.com/watch

#NowWatching @ Nothing Manor: Oddleaf - Ethereal Melodies (2024). A new French #ProgressiveRock band I’ve been made aware of, this track has some serious #prog chops! I’m about to listen to more and will share per usual. #music #progrock #france www.youtube.com/watch

#NowWatching @ Nothing Manor: Welcome to The Darkness (2023). A #documentary about the bombastic arena rock band, their fall from grace, and how they started to climb back up despite serious challenges. #movies #TheDarkness #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Cheap Trick - Sgt. Pepper Live (2009). The band known as “The Beatles of Japan” plays The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album live. So meta in the best possible way! Great album. #music #rock #cheaptrick www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dream Theater - Images and Words (1992). Having listened to #ProgRock for years, I was blown away by Pull Me Under on the radio and immediately bought the album. #music #progmetal www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Hackett - Live Magic at Trading Boundaries (2025). More “unbound” as opposed to “unplugged” as described by Nick Tate @ Prog Report, the former Genesis lead guitarist reimagines numerous tracks from his long musical history. #music #acoustic www.youtube.com/watch
