New music release day today – by 7am I have added 1,755 songs for review, and that’s after removing the Classical, Country, Christian, Jazz, R&B. People don’t believe I do this, but it’s true. All year, sifting through new releases from Apple Music. The technique: Add new releases to library by genre: Alternative, Indie, Reggae,…

It’s Friday. Start at 5am. Read The Radical Crusade of Mike Pence – Rolling Stone and Bashar al-Assad’s War Crimes, Exposed – The New Yorker Four shots espresso at 630. 9 Pokemon caught. Add all new releases to Apple Music Library (new Menzingers!). Listen to a few seconds from the first track of each and…

It’s… this time this year is similar to this time last year. Looking forward to Jan 1, planning for Jan 1, thinking of how next year will be improved on. Like, I’m going to write more. Funny, though, writing more is not ne.. or should say posting more is not a great idea. Quantity is…

My assignment last night was the Utah Democrats Election Night Party. Not the happiest place. .:. The coverage of the campaign has been atrocious – always falling back to the horse race rather than issues. And how does the New York Times run the odds of Hilary winning (always over 85%) up until late last…

Just back from a cold walk – with Ruby who was pinballing all around chasing sights sticks and smells. Had someone reach out asking about the Short Creek zine I put out a while back. This was the push I needed to set up https://store.trent.photo. .:. We had a great fovi8 meeting last night. I’ve…

Did I say something in the last post about taking my obsessions and doubling down on them? I made a second PGO user and as of 16 hours later it’s at level 8. And a diff team than my main player. On the walk this morning I realized why stop at two players? Why not…

P-GO – still playing, level 28. It seems to give me, I mean I’m doing so many things at once right now and pushing myself mentally. P-GO keeps the wheels spinning. .:. Been building the back end of Fovi8, and it’s going to be killer. It’s the fifth time I’ve built the concept and the…

This weekend is when the twice-yearly neighborhood meetings take place. They kicked off last weekend with a women-only event, where one speaker posited the idea that people in the neighborhood are being too sensitive to those with same-sex attraction, those who aren’t married, those who can’t have children. It was nearly a year ago that…

Back from RNC – biggest memory I guess is that they used a wire photo on the front page instead of my photos. I had a great one, too. I got seriously f*cked by my own org. Thanks!

I’m really down on a lot of the major tech offerings. I’m completely off goo now. And as far as facb, it’s so dominant now that I need it for research/journalism purposes (but not going to post there anymore, or read). Observation: there’s a group of PJs on facb that is always posting about copyright…

Being a dad – you get laughed at because you still haven’t fixed the rear view mirror of your car. But

This trip is about over. The sun is rising and I’m about to drive home. For all of the homesickness I felt on the trip, the photos were good. Even the parade that I didn’t expect much from produced at least a couple of interesting photographs. And Short Creek was a good time. Was able…

4th of July. It’s my third morning waking up alone in a hotel room. The sunrises are beautiful and I’ve made timelapses of a couple. But being alone so much can crack you. I’ve been ready to go home for a while now. Looking back, I came down … I mean I came down here…

Not sure when I’ll upload all these recent writings. Because a few things – why the need to share? questioning that whole idea of social sharing. Really the important thing is what you create as an artist. The behind the scenes, the thoughts and opinions? Not so important. The focus should be on the work.…

Now, seemingly always, drowning in content. Reading like three books, in the middle of a film I’ve seen before, and also now converting all the longform articles in my reading list to PDFs (400+ so far) so that I can read them. Because I’ve now got two iPads – one for movies and one for…

Filling in at the office today. First stop – sharpen three pencils, grab some index cards. Now to see what’s on the schedule. It’s 9am. .:. Scheduling takes seven minutes. One new assignment, one time change, a few switches to be made. Now 53 minutes until morning meeting. One of the assignments simply reads: Third…
