Hi 👋

This is a housekeeping post. I updated the host plumbing on zeigert.com to the new Deno Deploy since they sent out the ominous "the old Deno Deploy will be deleted soon" email.

I understand that the new deploy architecture is quite different, but offering no automatic path from the Classic to the New is a bold move, even for a contemporary web project hosting platform.

Anyway, if you notice any trouble around here, let me know.

Michael Shannon singing at Revolution Hall in Portland, Ore.

Nobody has the exact combination of vocal cords, sinus cavity and southern drawl that Michael Stipe has but it’s clear than Michael Shannon did his homework. And maybe the guitars weren't quite as jangly as the Peter Buck's, but Jason Narducy nearly fooled me.

People see cover bands for lots of reasons. Often, you end up at a bar where you didn't know there would be a band that night, and they're playing top 40 hits from a quarter century ago. Other times, the bass player works with your husband, so you finally agree to come by for a show. Very rarely, you seek them out.

For some reason I found myself scrolling through my photos app and landed on a drawing series I did in 2021. They're little more than doodles, coloring-page shape logic. It's a good mental exercise, though.
