RE-ENGAGING THE CARRIER: Signal Drift is back.
Frequencies drift. Life gets in the way. But the static is clearing, and Signal Drift is back. The next transmission goes live this Friday at Midnight. Thank you for your patience; we’ve found our way back to the ridge.
HAL 2.0: Trading the Swiss Army Knife for the Real Deal
Everything on this blog comes from my bizarre brain—AI is just the cleanup crew. If you want a tool that actually listens, it’s time for HAL 2.0.
The Barstow Street Takeover
The 59th Annual Eau Claire Jazz Festival is taking over Barstow Street this April. From the legendary Jazz Crawl to headliners Byron Stripling and Wycliffe Gordon, here is everything you need to know.
The Inner Sanctum
The Prince of Darkness has officially landed on Discord. Join the new Rolling with Scissors community for direct access to episode notes, blog posts, and exclusive transmissions.
Transmission 01 Frequency Guess
Bringing a classic Facebook tradition home to RWS. I used to type these lyrics out by hand—a massive pain in the ass. Identify the track in the comments, just don’t be the douchebag who Googles the answer.
The Muscle Memory of a Rap God
While grinding on the new Rolling with Scissors gear store, I rediscovered some deep-seated muscle memory. Turns out, five years away from Eminem doesn’t mean you forget how to keep up with the Rap God. Here’s a status update on the store and a reminder that some signals never fade.
Merch
You asked for it, and the Prince of Darkness is delivering. Rolling with Scissors merch is officially in development. No corporate markups, no hidden profits—every cent above production costs goes straight to WORT 89.9 FM. Here’s the status update on the gear you’ve been demanding.
Signal Lockdown
The Feds tried to put a wiretap on my tracklists, so I’m stripping the signal to its core. This week’s episode notes look different for a reason: we’ve moved to a ‘Blackout Formatting’ protocol to keep the three-letter agencies out of our business. If the playlist looks like it was smuggled out of a lead-lined basement, that’s because the Prince of Darkness doesn’t play the government’s bullshit. The signal remains ours.
Waking Up to the AI War
An IT veteran’s perspective on why the OpenAI military contract is the real-world beginning of Skynet. It’s time to stop calling it “the chat” and start calling it what it is: a weapons system.
The Jetsetter: Custom Retro Gaming PC
I set out to build a practical Windows gaming machine for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a library of retro DOS classics. What Hobbs at H-Mods delivered instead was a fully fabricated, RGB-lit piece of functional art — a custom PC so visually ridiculous I keep pausing games just to stare at the case. From accessibility realities and hardware anxiety to wall-mounted retro gaming and resurrected music software, this is the story behind the Jetsetter build and why modern horsepower is mostly being used to run 1993 shooters.
