A photo of me, a white man with a red beard, short brown hair, and a very receding hairline, smiling at the camera. I'm holding a bright red guitar electric guitar, and behind me is my home office desk in its standing position with my laptop and external monitors with Logic Pro and various plugins on screen, and two white speakers on either side of the main monitor.

You'll have to speak up, I'm not only playing a guitar, I'm coming up with some sick riffs.

Currently waiting for the opening act before Lacuna Coil with @[email protected]!

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown and extremely receding hair, holding a bass guitar. Behind me Logic Pro is open on my main computer monitor, the window for EZKeys is open on my laptop's internal display which shows an Wurlitzer piano and all the various controls, then on a third little monitor in front of the laptop is the window for Superior Drummer 3 which shows the current drum kit that's been selected.

Having gotten sick of the lack of instrument sounds that really grab me with Logic Pro's built-in instruments, I bought Toontrack's EZKeys 2 and the Dark Industrial and Vintage Vibes expansions for it, and oh man I am having so much fun right now. 😁 The Vintage Vibes expansion is a recording/recreation of a Wurlitzer electric piano and it sounds amazing, I've got a bluesy swing thing going on that's such fun to play bass along with.

A photo of me, a white man with an increasingly-scruffy red beard and an increasingly-receding hairline smiling at the camera. I'm holding a guitar which you can just see the neck of, and behind me is the window out to the backyard where our little back room structure is sitting with its door open. The sun is getting towards setting but it's still nice and light outside. (Yes I'm aware that I'm facing the wrong way in this photo to be watching birds, you smarty-pants. 😛)

A very zoomed-in shot looking at the door of the back room as one of the little birds is mid-flight on its way out. I don't know what sort of bird it is but they're brown, TINY, and have a red patch on their faces. This one has its wings out and its feet extended because about a half second after I took the photo it landed on the grass.

Current status: practicing palm muting by doing some power chord chugging on my Epiphone SG while watching the tiny little birds flit around outside searching for seeds after I mowed the lawn yesterday.

They hop from place to place, then elongate their necks to make themselves taller and wiggle their little tails while they do it, it's so cute. Two of them even got bold enough to explore the back room and were in there for a good minute or so! I managed to catch one mid-flight as it zoomed back out.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red (and very rapidly greying) beard and short (and receeding) hair, sitting in front of the babby model of Roland's electronic drum kit range. Behind me are two people busily still playing music, one on bass guitar and the other on a full-size keyboard.

A photo of the MASSIVE Christmas tree in the middle of Martin Place in Sydney's CBD, it'd have to be at least two storeys high. There's a barrier around the bottom of it and a cherry picker part-way up it to the right. It's lit up though, primarily in tiny purple lights.

Jam session success! We mostly did improvisation and got some seriously excellent grooves going. I asked how my drumming was afterwards (one of the people there is actually in a band, though I have no idea how serious an endeavour it is) and they said "Really good!" 😁 Feels good, man.

And you can tell we're getting into Christmas season, the enormous Christmas tree in Martin Place is very nearly finished. We were out getting a coffee after lunch and there was a guy up in a cherry picker putting the huge balls on that were a significant fraction the height of him.

Also one of the people started playing the intro riff to Tool's Schism so now I'm listening to Lateralus on the trip home.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair—although both are getting a bit scruffy—smiling at the camera. I'm holding a guitar and standing in front of my standing desk, which has an Arturia MiniLab 3 MIDI keyboard in black sitting on the desk. On the main computer display is Logic Pro with Arturia's Analog Lab plugin window open, and on my laptop's internal display to the left there is Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3 plugin window showing half of a frankly absurd number of cymbals and toms, partially covered by the window for Neural DSP's Archetype PliniX guitar amp software showing a cool-looking black amp with a red glow coming from inside it.

Current status: feeling inspired. 😎

(Of course, it's probably going to end up being another couple of months before I actually finish this thing. 😅)

A selfie taken of me and three other work friends in our music room in the office. There's me, a white man with a short red beard and short red hair at the very left of the frame grinning and leaning in so I'm actually in the frame, sitting behind an electronic drum kit. Next around is Harry, a white man with shoulder-length curly brown hair standing holding a bass guitar. After that is Andy, a white man with a short black beard, black hair, and glasses, also standing and holding an electric guitar. And lastly is Nidhi, a South Asian woman with glasses and dark hair, leaning in from the right of the frame over a keyboard and grinning cheesily.

Another Thursday, another jam session! And we had a team event today and so had a paid-for-by-work lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Barangaroo and it was delicious. 👌🏻

A photo of me, a white man with short brown hair and a very receding hairline, wearing a blue paper mask.

It's yer man, me, having just gotten both a flu jab and a COVID booster! The COVID booster is free, and work is reimbursing flu jabs, woot.

I'm fully expecting to be feeling like warmed-up rubbish tomorrow so the plan is mostly going to be sitting on the lounge playing video games. The last major Baldur's Gate 3 patch came out today and it includes a photo mode so I reckon I can spend a fair bit of time screwing around with that!

A selfie of me, a white man with short brown hair and a short red beard, sitting at a drum kit. On the left is my friend holding a deep red Fender bass guitar, he's an Asian man with glasses and a cap on, and on the right is my other friend, a white man with not-quite-as-short-as-mine brown hair holding a black Epiphone electric guitar. We're all grinning at the camera.

A photo of Bosko, who is a black miniature poodle with a bunch of grey on his muzzle. He's sitting in his dog bed that's on an armchair, with his head resting on the front of the bed.

Jam session was excellent fun! The drum speaker worked an absolute treat and held its own perfectly against the bass and guitar amps, and we ended up playing for probably a good five hours all up. And we had the occasional audience too, haha.
