I wonder how much more of this type of thing it's going to take before people just raise the Jolly Roger instead.

@mike it's already happening. A guy I know is buying some box from a coworker that is a couple hundred bucks and allegedly gives access to absolutely anything you want. Any channel, any movie, any streaming service, anything. I also have another friend who bought something similar it gives him a very rudimentary cable TV type interface, but he has access to absolutely everything.

For a one time fee. If it saves you a couple hundred/mth even if the box only lasts for a couple years that's big $$

Unbelievable... and entirely predictable.

@Theblueone played my PRS 594 at the gig last night for the first time in about a year (been living the Schecter USA Nick Johnston life) and man it was like coming home.

And then Music Man will drop something that has me like

@Theblueone for real. Everything about them is so great. Had a Valentine that I gigged for about 3 years but had to stop because I developed knuckle issues on my left hand from scrunching my fingers up so hard on the broom handle neck

The NYC hospital my wife has worked for 20 years serving a needed population in Lower Manhattan as a cardiologist is now closing. Another sad loss for NYC and a huge adjustment for my family as she now has to find a new job.

The hospital property will be turned into luxury condos in short order.

I still think about the main idea of windows phone, which was that it was centered the people you talk to the most, and it would eg serve you updates from that person no matter whether sms/fb/ig or whatever.

Folks, American Pie is way funnier than I remembered. Also, a rare treat to get the teens engrossed in something with their parents! 🤣

Pretty fascinating to read as this stuff becomes more relevant to the work I'm doing, especially this feature film #FCPX workflow created by the filmmakers:

If this is extremely your shit, allow me to recommend "The Soundtrack Show", one of the most fascinating podcasts I have ever come across, and specifically this episode: https://overcast.fm/+MBtti_Sc8

Simon is establishing a toehold over here after being one of the unfailingly delightful accounts on Twitter.

Maps, of all sorts. Always interesting, often humorous— bound to be a bright spot on the timeline.

Give him a follow! https://mastodon.au/@simongerman600/110857160846844734

Great article that helped me solidify my understanding of why I might want to record at 24/96 at a minimum. 24/48 is the standard for video, but when recording artistic material I might even go 32/192. Storage/processing isn't as much of a concern these days, and even the baby audio interfaces can do that...
