the ROCKS GLASS

the ROCKS GLASS is one of those fancy-schmancy Tumblr sites that happens to be curated by Kansas City-based creative technologist Jeremy Fuksa. “Creative technologist” sounds like an aggrandized term. It is. But, it rolls off the tongue much easier than Designer, Developer, Writer, Broadcaster, Filmmaker, Speaker, Musician, Photographer and Attention Whore. Plus, it looks way cooler on a business card.

Nathan finished his second Pinewood Derby car this evening. We'll see how fast BB-8 runs on Saturday.

It's official: Panko breaded, blue cheese stuffed fried olives are little nubbins of heaven dipped in garlic aioli. I'm sad there were only 12. Next time, I'll make this with the tiny Manzanillas rather than cocktail olives.

My #2015bestnine shows a rather transformative year. And a butt-shaped rock.

I love bear, and bear loves me. We catch salmon in our mouths, down by the sea. And then he snaps my neck. (at Scheels Overland Park)

This morning seemed like a Thou Mayest back porch kind of morning. Thinking about colors. (at Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters)

The UPS truck just dropped off my first patch design. This black ghost-stitched lodge flap commemorates the OA lodge I grew up in, Ah-Ska 213, which existed from 1941-2001. I made a limited run of 225, and most are spoken for by Ah-Ska alumni around the country. 20 flaps are available for patch collectors if interested.

Happy Mother's Day to this wonderful lady. As an extra surprise, I've enrolled Nathan in smiling lessons. Because, wow. (at Kansas City Zoo)

Opening day for the spring session of Wood Badge. I used to be a Fox, and a good old Fox too. (at Theodore Naish Scout Reservation, Heart of America Council, BSA)

Stupid wall-eyed pig.

Butt hole. I'll be here all night, folks. (at Paradise Park)

Somehow we ended up at a Japanese steakhouse with a pig. (at Siki Japanese Stk Sushi)

I just LOVE smooth and creamy.

If you like John Roderick or Roderick on the Line (and let's be real... if you're on Tumblr, you do), then you'll *love* listening to our time with Sir John himself. Hell of a way to leave for vacation. - - - Here we are: The last episode before our hiatus. We certainly couldn't have had a better guest to share with you than our friend John Roderick. In this episode we discuss Jeremy's encroaching Kaczynski-ism (minus the pipe bombs), digging holes with your boots, babies, writing, David Rees's insistence that we *all* get ripped in 2015 and challenge coins. It's a lot to leave you with. That said: Farewell for a bit. We *will* return, rested and ready, in late June 2015. Until then, listen to old episodes, think of new topics, questions and guests for us to have on the show and *definitely* spend some time getting to know the other shows on misfitrad.io. We'll see you soon.

When you don't have an office patio, you just drink beer on the street, I guess. (at Clickfarm)

We're heading toward our hiatus at the end of this month with a bang. In the first of our two makeup interviews, we talk to artisanal pencil sharpener and television personality David Rees about trips to Africa, hiatuses and bodybuilding.
