In the latest episode of The Lorenzos Music Podcast, I meet Ben Pate, the creator of Bandwagon.fm, an open-source platform designed specifically for musicians that integrates with the Fediverse, allowing artists to share their music in a decentralized manner.

Ben talks about the concept behind Bandwagon, explaining how it originated from a need for a more open alternative to music platforms. One with the ability to connect musicians with audiences through a search function that allows users to follow specific music tags and receive updates in their Mastodon feeds to serve as a music hub for discovering new music.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
