Since Backrooms is out there, I thought I'd share this. I go into sensory deprivation for ninety minutes every other week or so.

Over the years, I've done it about 150 times. Last week I did my last annual double float, which is 3.5 hours (right after COVID it was five hours). It's my last annual, because I intend to do it every other month going forward.

This is room 4 in Float On in Southeast Portland Oregon. It helped me keep my job much longer than I would have otherwise. It's guided my greater decisions . It's allowed me to revisit memories I didn't know I had

The door to the right is like a closet with the floor covered with water with so much salt in it that I can float with my face above the water. It's warm enough that I quickly forget what is water and what is my skin and the warm air around it. It's dark and silent.

Just walking into the room, just getting the reminder email, removes everything from my head and the tension in my shoulders melts.

When I get in and turn off the light, visions start almost immediately. Today it was a massive eye with a dark green iris. Sometimes, once I see something, words come to me. They nearly never relate to the image. The last hundred or so floats, I've tried to remember at least three of these. When the float is done, I walk to my local and get a pint and a shot and write them down. I have no idea why I record them. Rereading them is very, very boring. I think it's just how I return. ]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:01:33 Z Thursday Morning Movie: East Coast iPhone Action https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR2Q https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR2Q

STICKER IN A BAR TOILET, DECEMBER 2023 ]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:23:08 Z My first mural update https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR27 https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR27 Two photographs, the top one features the outside wall of a building, with a half finished mural, with a painting of flowers and insects. The bottom picture shows two people working on the mural with brushes in hand.

I've been hard at work in the last two weeks together with my colleague Ivonne (in the background). But we've been slowed down a little bit. Last week there was a heatwave of more than 30°C and this weekend it's been raining a lot. But we've got some extra time. So I'm not too worried. We're not nearly finished, although some people might think it is done :-)

By the way, the design is basically a watercolour I did a couple of years ago, with some minor alterations: https://mltshp.com/p/1N5L6

The official opening is on Saturday afternoon June the 13th. If you're in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, drop by!

Went mountain biking on my lunch break yesterday, as I often do, here in town. Trails aren't too crazy - lots of roots, some steep climbs, some loose surfaces - but overall pretty mild. I was just there Monday for my weekly group ride, and ride the place often enough I know it well. Good ride overall, with a PR on the first/biggest climb, and at a quick enough pace to add some extra distance.

Then as I was wrapping up, my head found a low-hanging branch that wasn't there two days earlier. It wasn't enough to cause a crash, but I definitely felt the impact, and put a couple of sizable dents and scrapes on my helmet. I still had a headache two hours later, and thanks to having a neuropsychologist wife who knows all the bad things that could potentially be, we made a trip to urgent care to confirm it was a mild concussion and nothing more serious. Symptoms were nothing worse than a headache, and I'm fine this morning.

The helmet did its job. The kind of amazing thing is I've been riding seriously enough to know I need to wear a helmet since the early 90's, and this is the first one I've destroyed. Usually they get replaced because of age, or when they get gross, and this one was quickly approaching both of those points. I'll be happy to continue with this mandatory replacement interval in the future. ]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:25:45 Z company profile photo https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR0Z https://stage.mltshp.com/p/1RR0Z No alt provided
