@npub1yej…v9gd yeah, as I think about it now I realize most of the folks I've seen with iPods lately were probably Millennials.
Got any advice for me? Should I install Rockbox on my 1st Gen Nano?

@npub17ge…hgsu we watched it last night and enjoyed it. I’ve walking around all day saying “snikt!”

Is buying an old iPod the GenX equivalent of a midlife crisis? Ain't nobody got money for a sports cars these days so I'll just listen to music.

@npub1qtf…yq3j the plan is to share them exclusively on Youtube for now. I know the team is slowly experimenting with more fediverse sharing (ie they enabled fediverse sharing from Threads recently), but they are taking time to learn about the fediverse before they make any official plans to start any new channels.

"I Am Dog Now", the new single from #ChatPile's upcoming album, is live now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvvBnmR_ClQ
You can pre-order the upcoming album from https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/ and I highly recommend buying "God's Country", one of my favorite albums in the past few years. Metal? Punk? Grunge? Sludge? I'm really not sure what to call it.

We may never know how much business Sticker Mule lost as a result of their "Trump 2024" endorsement, but we have a good idea of how many followers they lost on social networks... and how many new customers they just sent to their biggest competitors.
I documented it here: https://docpop.org/2024/07/sticker-mules-trump-2024-endorsement-drives-business-to-their-biggest-competitors/

I really love my Atari VCS Classic controller, an updated version of the 2600 controller. I've been compiling a list of games that play great with it and I'd love to hear suggestions for other games that might work well with this controller. https://docpop.org/2023/07/great-games-to-play-with-an-atari-vcs-classic-controller/ #Atari

Today's #SidewalkFriends sketch: I took a photo of the sidewalk and used it as inspiration for this drawing. Man Versus Machines.

"Redscale" is a beautiful new ambient album by Braulio Lam. Braulio is a musician and photographer whose new album dips its toes into both worlds. With tracks such as "Lomography", "36 Exposures", and "Canon A-1". https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/redscale?from=butts #BelieveInFilm #Ambient #Experimental #Redscale #Lomography

@npub1gkr…lcp0 do any of these #WWDC announcements mean any changes to your workflow in Notes?

Back in 2016, I was hired to create some #TrixelArt gifs to promote Beck's new single, "Dreams". https://docpop.org/2016/03/my-commisioned-beck-gifs/

Already a beautiful day in SF. I’m at Haus, about to start editing a huge video project I’ve been working on for the past three weeks. Then heading to the community farmers market in the Mission later today.

I love this #yoyo video by Fabian Adhi today and wanted to share it around. Rad tricks and nice editing. I can't wait to see more of Fabian's vids.

This driverless Waymo came to a full stop in the bike lane ahead of us, even though there was plenty of space in the passenger loading zone a few feet away. I waited to see if the Waymo would ever pull into the loading zone, but I got tired of waiting after 5 minutes. #SanFrancisco #Waymo #Robotaxi

I had a fun lunch with @npub17ge…hgsu today and spent a few hours nerding out about open protocols and the fediverse. He brought this 3D printed version of the Mastodon mascot.

These 13 photos are actually one long image scanned from a foot of 35mm film. I shot the images on a LC-A Wide and used the "half-frame advance", so the images would overlap and expose on top of each other. https://docpop.org/2017/05/half-frame-advance-lomo-lc-wide-camera/ #Lomography #DoubleExposure #BelieveInFilm #35mm

In the spring of 2024, a local comic shop asked Doctor Popular to illustrate a promotional t-shirt for an upcoming fundraiser. The original design, "Batman Devouring His Young", was rejected by the comic shop upon review.

Mission Comics asked me to design a t-shirt as part of their "Save Mission Comics" fundraiser. The shirt will be available in a few weeks, but you can sign up to get notified when they are available. All proceeds go to MC as part of the "Save Mission Comics" campaign. https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/5ed77483-3782-4824-8639-496cb83b8057/landing

Jay-Z's "My First Song" is in 3/4, right?
Jay's flow is in triplets, but when I try to count the beat I feel a 4/4 sometimes and a 3/4 others.
I don't know much about music theory and time signatures, so help me understand this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=colv2Wy2q7E

@npub15x4…3p3l do you need chairs? What about amplification? All of my events are outdoors, but I haven't organized a book reading before.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the fantastic art from "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot", which was 1st published by John Muir Productions in 1969.
