Marc Amos’ Journal

Superorganism: Superorganism There’s something extremely catchy and youthful about this album, and I’ve probably played it at least three times per week since I discovered it in late November 2025.

Vegyn: The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions Whatever sub-genre of electronic music this album is in is now my favorite sub-genre.

My website has a few places where I share how many years have passed since something happened.

Chet Faker: Built on Glass This album is a fantastic blend of soul, downtempo, and electronic music.

Embarrassingly, it’s been a long, long time since my last favorite music entry, but I finally have some to share.

I heard she was going to the nearby coffee shop to meet a new colleague of hers at 2pm, which gave me an hour to think about how I might slip her a note.

My mom recently showed me this photo, taken 41 years ago (1984) on Christmas day: My dad—at 24 years old—is wearing the black shirt, my uncle is wearing the white shirt, and I’m kneeling on the floor.

I’m the kind of person that learns about neat tech stuff long after everyone else has, so brace yourself as I tell you about some neat tech stuff you probably already know about.

I have no idea – I don’t track that stuff, but I bet the home page earns the prize.

I just came across this great post from Chris Coyer (who borrowed it from MattCool.tech, who borrowed it from Tracy Durnell and friends).

We stayed in Hyannis and visited a few choice locations: The Barnacle, Craigville Beach, Añejo Mexican Bistro, Katie’s Homemade Ice Cream, and Kalmus Park Beach.

When I got home from work yesterday, Noah, our youngest at age 7, came out to greet me.

My friend Johannes and I were recently chatting about the jobs we had before becoming web developers.

I’m generally not a person who puts stickers on their vehicle—well, except for this one (#3 Silly sticker)—but I appreciate looking at the stickers other people put on theirs.

Sharon, the boys, and I were driving somewhere a few days ago; we were listening to the radio and Fatboy Slim’s The Rockafeller Skank came on.

According to Noah we need cookies, millk, bred, sereols, wodrmelin, bunaz(?)

On this day, back in 1989, my dad passed away at 30 years old.

Thursday, May 12th, late afternoon: Will (10 years old) says he is really tired; we attribute it to a jogging contest thing he participated in at school earlier in the day.

Without any encouragement or knowledge on our part, our eight year old son wrote and illustrated a book.

Tonight, shortly before dinner, our six year old said to us, mom, dad, what’s for dinner I don’t like that.

Last summer I bought my first new vehicle: a 2021 Toyota Tacoma.

I thought it’d be nice to start logging the books I read, so I whipped up a reading list.

It’s winter now, nearly Christmas, and I’ve finally moved on from George Clanton … to Magdalena Bay, who are very similar 🥴.

I think it’ll be interesting—and nostalgic—to look back at this series, many years from now, to see how my life changes over time.

I was last-week-years old when I learned something about coffee that—I’m embarrassed to admit—I should’ve known decades ago: if a drip coffee maker isn’t yet finished and you grab the carafe to pour yourself a cup, two things are probably true: that cup of

Sharon and I are nearing the end of season two of what is one of the best shows we’ve seen to date, and we just learned it’s not being renewed for a third season.

There’s a DVD player in our minivan and when we take a long road-trip we let the boys watch a movie to give us some peace and quiet (it’s ahhhhh-mazing).

It’s time for another entry in my “favorite music” series … and it’s a bit late because, honestly, I can’t stop listening to George Clanton (who I mentioned in the last entry in this series).

In a rare moment of boredom, I searched the internet for other Marc Amoses and found these fine people… This Marc Amos is a Strategic Talent Program Leader at Cummins, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.

Inspired by Joe’s An album a day project, I thought I’d do something similar, but which requires far less commitment: share what I’m listening to that’s on heavy rotation every once in a while.

This morning, while the five of us ate breakfast, I asked everyone, If you could turn rain into one type of food, what would it be?

I know this is minor compared to what others have dealt with, but it’s the worst I’ve experienced … so far.

Sharon and I decided to get the kids a pool and ended up buying the Intex® 12' by 30" Metal Frame Pool Set (SKU: 28211EH).

Every night, as we tuck-in our kids, our four year old asks me… Dad, can you check on me, and ask mom to check on me, and make one egg in a one-egg cooking pot, and ask mom to make me a breakfast drink?

Here’s what they look like just before going into the oven.

On April 12th 2012 my very good friend, Matt, passed away after battling dermatomyositis.

Sure, I write on Twitter a bunch and I’ve written a few things on my company’s blog—though, even over there it’s been 10 years—but it’s been more than 14 years since I’ve written anything resembling a personal blog post.
