Two things for me… pomodoro method and the mantra “Don’t put it down. Put it away.” Pomodoro got me through college and made hyperfocusing on assignments seem like more of a choice. The mantra? It is part of my inner dialogue all the time lol. I tend to put things where ever and wouldn’t you know it? In a day my home is a mess. So once I heard the suggestion I took it to heart and it does actually really help me remember WHY to put things away. Because the “oh I will grab it and put it away later” is a lie.

Teenage engineering partnered with Nothing. That isn’t the same thing.

Was on the way home early and was coming up on an SUV that seemed hesitant at a major highway interchange between three highways at once….they stopped in their lane towards the middle of the road. Completely stopped. On a 65mph highway. I got over since they were in my lane and of course honked because wtf? Still blown away that someone would stop on a highway. They are lucky it was not rush hour quite yet.

While this is stereotypically true, my grandparents that passed away 14 years ago were avid gamers. They adored their NES and bought a SNES when the NES died. I think it is worth inquiring with local nursing homes to see if they have anyone that has gaming experience. My grandma’s favorite game was Loopz. Grandpa’s was golf. Puzzle games especially are good for that age group as they keep the brain busy but don’t necessarily require adept fine motor speed like other genres.

We just replaced our 10 year old electric mower (old battery Kobalt) with a new one. We had three batteries and only recently did we feel their life wasn’t long enough for our nearly half acre lot. Out of curiosity…How old is your mower? Our new mower has self propelled and can do the whole yard with juice to go again. I do feel that you get what you pay for with electric mowers. We went with a mid grade and a reputable brand since we know we will hold into it for ages. I recommend to folks to always buy one that is marketed for larger than what you have if you are gonna hold onto it because batteries degrade normally so it is good to plan for that.

Minecraft. Make your own to do list and play at your own pace. I will beat the ender dragon one day but for now I work on my next automated farm lol.

Where is it cracking and do you use a base and top coat? I have found that application has more to do with longevity than brand. Also, do you push the cuticles back and put nail polish remover on your nail before you polish to remove any oil?

I would try these things and see if things improve. Make sure to top coat around the tip of the nail and quickly remove any overbrushing on the skin so it doesn’t peel from there.

Wasted light in this context is light that is not serving a purpose. For instance in my neighborhood there is a house that has security lights that shine well beyond their property lines and are triggered on sensor from across the street movement. These lights also illuminate upwards which provides no benefit. Simply controlling where light shines if you must have it is a good step to being a good neighbor and is better for nature as well.

I am actually excited about this. MIDI has so much potential and I am curious to delve deeper into the specs to see new possibilities.

Autograph is from Phil Keaggy. I am not much of a guitarist (synth player mostly) but these meet my needs!

I found this extremely useful. Make sure to check out his other tutorials for other synths too! I still have to go through one for the Model D I picked up.

Don't miss out!

My first guitar was a Yamaha and it was cheap but someone set it up so good. I wish I didn’t sell it back ages ago. Probably won’t find it again. I liked how it had a black flake finish…so cheesy lol.

This guy does a great job recreating and I do not want to know how much he spent on all of those synths!

1

Always nice to see into another person's workflow and how long it takes to get the elusive "perfect" sound that is in your head.

1

Picked up a Neutron and Model D. It has been a blast so far. Any suggestions on favorite ways to route signal?

Why? What is your favorite dish?

What is your favorite thing about synthesizers? Do you have a favorite instrument, technique, or artist?
