I was working from home, trying to debug a line of code that refused to cooperate, when a low, rhythmic thumping started next door. It wasn't music. It was mechanical. Thump-whir. Thump-whir.

His videos got strange. In one, he tried to "liberate" a shopping cart full of tennis balls by rolling it down a hill into traffic (the police were called, he got a warning). In another, he attempted to barter with a local squirrel, offering it a gold watch in exchange for "tree rights."

: It was released under the JUX label, which is part of the SOD (Soft On Demand) group.
