Oh, man. RIP Andrew Sachs. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/fawlty-towers-actor-andrew-sachs-9375879 Basil finally made good on sending him to a vivisectionist.

The fires in Tennessee are so intense, they melted the aluminium on this car. Falls Creek Falls, WA Lake Moraine. Showgirls play chess between shows at New York's Latin Quarter nightclub, 1958, by Gordon Parks. Christmas Market in the Germany's Black Forest. Mount Rainier, with Mount Adams in the background.

Tragically, he committed suicide in 2011.

The meme is strong. Even moreso because Stefán Karl Stefánsson is battling cancer. A new video from my favorite quirky Norwegian breakbeat producer.

Stream in Rannoch Moor, Scotland. Lindy Point, West Virginia. Kirkjufell under an aurora. Erta Ale shield volcano, Ethiopia. Paris from the Eiffel Tower. The Old Man of Storr at dawn. A Milky Way sunset reflecting in the El Taito Geyser Field, located 14,000 feet high in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The difference that two days can make in Minnesota. The trail up Flat Top Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. Tenaya Lake, Yosemite. Frozen lawn. The Wonderland Trail in Mount Rainier National Park. Just up the street from me. Sete Cidades, Azores, Portugal. Sete Cidades, Azores, Portugal. Shot from a train traveling through Norway. Pittsburgh skyline at night. Colliding waves, Hawaii. Fallbrook, CA.

I love this song non-ironically.

Not a person, but today 2016 claimed a friend of mine for 9 years: https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/5did4f/its_official_whatcd_is_dead_memorial_thread/ Yes, this affects Test Tone.

#1 Fan! Shiprock, New Mexico. Winchester Mountain, WA. Reine, Norway. Redfish Lake, Idaho. Romania. Sunrise at Vik Beach, Iceland. Boston Skyline @ sunset. New York at Night. Gramvousa Peninsula, Crete, Greece. Venus over lake Ellesmere, Canterbury. The Matterhorn in perfect weather - above Zermatt, Switzerland. San Francisco from Treasure Island. Lac Blanc, French Alps.

That trackpad is yuuuuuge.

RIP David Mancuso, the absolute grandaddy of DJing. I'm out of jokes about how much 2016 sucks.

Clerkenwell, London. "With head like that it's no wonder that Bill cheated" (I'll get my coat.) Leon Russell, 1970. Somewhere outside Perth, Australia. Delta IV Heavy. German V-2 missile fuel tanks on the assembly line in Tunnel "B" of the underground Mittelbau industrial complex near Nordhausen, Germany. Photograph by Walter Frentz. 1944. Autumn in Patagonia. I wonder how that turned out. Chamonix, France. Cape Schanck, Australia. Stockholm this week. Morans Falls, Lamington National Park, Queensland. Vermont. Waterfall in Oregon. Goblin Valley, Utah, USA. Church in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota. Milford Sound, New Zealand. The Last Launch Of Atlantis. Wire wool spinning in Portsmouth, UK. Sunset seen from Key Biscayne.

Kind of sums up the whole week, doesn't it?

Looks like I'm going to be ordering about half a dozen of these things, at $10 a pop. That's still far cheaper than buying a second thin MagSafe PSU. I have quite a stash of the (older, fatter) ones that I've been hoarding since 2008.

I was up until 3AM copying my data over to the new Macintop. I went to bed when, after installing and registering Traktor, it refused to see my entire 3500 track record bag. Tonight after, ahem, reading the instructions online (Native Instruments is a German company, after all) I'm more or less up speed. I still have to test a bunch of things before I go live (and it's already 7:30 as of this writing, FML.) It does look like this will be my first show from the new lappy.
