Packed up a GLite PSU to send to everyone's favorite fat-headed Mexican: Banana for scale. I didn't have any other box in the house that was both smaller and could contain the Elpac.

Bumping this up - 2 weeks to go, 68% of the way to the fundraising goal. Remnants of Laura are rolling through today so it'll be an indoor training session.

I said "travel" not Tinder dating.

Apparently he acted through chemo. Now that’s dedication. RIP

Shame I missed that one, Jacob, but thank you for the heads-up all the same. I swooped in a bit late...LOL. Interesting choice, SeaWolf. I do like the transparency through to the mechanicals...enjoy seeing how mechanical things function. Sounds like you have a good woman looking out for your. I have fought off the temptation to buy a watch I keep thinking about. Tried it on when we were in Aruba last year (w/o the Sedna gold unfortunately) and liked the feel and look of it. I had just a tad big of difficulty with the rubber strap and it is on the larger side for my wrist at 42mm. Only tried it the one time moving fairly briskly after dinner. Need to give it another romp. HS

Woke up with this tune playing in my head:

Just a bit closer

Well, THAT sucked. After much futzing (hours worth) I figured out the problem. In OS X speak "Mic access" means access ANY audio input devices. My laptop had a security burp (possibly brought on by an update, unsure) that revoked mic access to most of the apps that previously had it -- including mixlr. I eventually sorted out that problem, then got mixlr working with both of my audio devices. A casualty in all this was 3 years of show recordings. I have them backed up, but now I have to fish them off Time Machine, which will take several hours. /wrist as the kids say. Show will probably be on tomorrow night.

Fuck 2020 RIP Chadwick

It's super cool. I just don't know how practical the sequencer is (but you can set all parameters differently in every step in the sequence - super cool!), but if nothing else it's a good-sounding paraphonic analog synth that I can sequence with the Deluge. It's been discontinued for a couple of years, and they must have made way too many of them, because you can still get them for well below MSRP.

Finally! a TICE worthy speaker!

Unlikely Country cover that completely kills it.

Justin Townes Earle gone at 38. Saw this guy in a memorable show a number of years ago. Jessica Lea Mayfield opened and was insanely nervous... Earle walked out beforehand and told the crowd to “be nice to her or I’m gonna whoop ya.” ☹️ https://www.facebook.com/22332699864/posts/10157797303759865/?extid=xKvFEEVTtaPydbHi&d=n

This is a good looking and versatile watch IMO albeit a bit large for me. I prefer 40mm. Arguably more money than it would be without the Fratello connection, but they are likely part of why it's as handsome as it is. https://www.fratellowatches.com/hamilton-khaki-field-murph-auto-joins-the-fratello-shop-catalog/ HS

I think I am going to need a different desk. Definitely a stand on the side. The On Stage one I ordered does not fit the Moog well so I guess it will be for the other beep boop machines.

The price was just Amazon Prime at $43.

RIP Chadwick Boseman...so young, so talented and so sad! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/chadwick-boseman-black-panther-actor-dies-of-cancer-at-43

Indeed. Show is scuttled for tonight. Also, the Gilmore Lite puts out a lot of power if one is not careful. Also, I am now deaf. Gonna spend the remainder of the evening nuking and re-installing mixlr. Whee!

my 1st post is a sad one. RIP Julian Bream https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/14/arts/music/julian-bream-dead.html
