I dunno, I enjoyed reading it. His enthusiasm is evident, and as much as I'd love to be a cranky fun-hating git it's nice to see someone having fun with the hobby for once. Still, pontificating at length about minute perceptual nuances is thoroughly pointless given how completely subjective and unreliable all that stuff is, and I've learned to not do it.

That review seems... absolutely deranged to me. So much pseudoscientific jargon. Invented a bunch of new words and pointless graphics and ultimately says nothing materially useful about the headphones' sound. Not to mention the parts that are based on established acoustic science like ITD and HRTFs demonstrate a complete lack of deep understanding of the underlying concepts. Feels like the author is using a Wikipedia summary section-level understanding of acoustics to sound more credible and knowledgable than they are. Embarrassing.

Just started watching this and binged s1 this weekend. Pretty good, love Joel Kinnaman ever since The Killing...

Lady Blackbird on Saturday night in Pine Plains, NY, in a small, newly renovated venue called The Stissing Center. Intimate set with just her guitar/piano player/producer/co-writer Chris Seefried:

I'm going to see an art carny in LA! No, not that one, this one!

Yesterday actually, but I finally finished up the project on Diamond Heights (one of the best views in SF). Thousands and thousands of dollars in Ipe. Over 1000 Ipe plugs to cover the screws. The shed is for the garbage/recycle bins. Two gates about 12' apart. One into the back yard (I use the word yard for lack of a better word). The other keeps passers by from getting at the A/C compressor, located in an open inset that you can't see. The two headers above the gates are to stiffen the fence. The Ipe was so heavy, it made the gates sag. My solution was the header beams.

Maki is in no way intimidated by the much larger Walter. She is having the time of her life! At one point Maki had Walter's cheek stretched out like a sail. His size and enthusiasm doesn't seem to frighten her in the least bit.

For all Mankind. I’m hooked with this series on Apple plus
