I didn’t use this picture as my #selfie today because it felt like breaking the rules—but my youngest painted a picture of me on a lemon for my birthday brunch today and I think it’s a pretty good likeness honestly. 😆

A hand is holding a painted lemon with a face design, depicting features like eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

This is 49.

Selfie a day for a year, day 2. Aug 19, 2025 edition.


If shower beers exists, why not shower slurpees? 🤔

A Slurpee is held in a hand while a shower runs in the background.

Open up a recording app of some sort and take a #selfie, 2025-08-18 edition:

A man with glasses and a beard sits in front of a microphone, surrounded by musical instruments and artwork on the wall.

“I’ve tried almost nothing and that hasn’t worked, so I guess it’s basically hopeless.” <—— my strategy for mental health struggles over the course of my life. 😆


Your semi-regular reminder that this is where my business name came from:

  • Adam’s bass line
  • “off with the horns, on with the show”
  • “Midnight is where the day begins”
  • “A man makes a picture, a moving picture; Through light projected, he can see himself up close.”


It wasn’t the #Fortnite squad I was hoping for, but it was the one I needed. 😂

Her: How old is everyone? Me: I’m in my 40’s (barely). Her: Oh my gawwwwd! Me: I can barely see the screen my eyes are so bad.

Four characters stand in a virtual game lobby, each with a unique style or appearance, with gamer tags displayed above them. Two are obviously younger looking avatars, two are older white men avatars. (Bob’s Burgers and Hank Hill)

I love my kids. One of them came home today and hit the button randomly on my new Aqara G3 Camera Hub and managed to remove it… sort of. So Aqara thinks it’s still bound and I can’t re-add it.

Fun night troubleshooting that would’ve otherwise been wasted being lazy? 😂 😭

A cute, futuristic security camera with cat-like ears and a glowing circular button is sitting on a wooden surface.

Superman, 2025 - ★★★★

Like McCartney and Lennon, I sometimes wonder what would’ve happened if Woz and Jobs had been able to work alongside each for longer. But I’m glad to see how happy Woz turned out.


It was rude of the MCU to tease Roy Kent as Hercules and then never do anything with that.


Playing some #Fortnite (badly) on a Wednesday night. Come hang and join me if you Fort or Nite (badly).



The collection of 6 Transformers movies + Bumblee is on sale at AppleTV for $25CAD. That’s one series I haven’t “forced” my kids to watch yet. I can decide if it’s worth it. 🤔 😆


Look out podcast video editors! AI is coming for your job!

If you’ve been eyeing up any of Rogue Amoeba’s audio apps for Mac, they’re running a great promo I can really get behind where you get 15% off in their store using the discount code “CHRISROCKS” 😆 (it’s to celebrate an employee, nothing to do with me of course.)


“After his surgery, you’ll need to make sure Neville doesn’t run or jump for the next 10-14 days.”

Sure! No problem. I’ll definitely do that with my 60lb 1 year old dog. 😆


I decided to split off my random #Fortnite gaming into it’s own YouTube channel instead of confusing ppl looking for podcasting tutorials on my main one. So subscribe to @GamingWithALemon on YT. (Nothing changing on Twitch)


Ok fine, my boss is forcing me to play some #Fortnite on the old streamer machine for a break. Going live on Twitch.
