Westworld

I regularly discuss philosophy as it relates to religious, spirituality and other facets of our life and found an interesting perspective. While discussing it, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities to the TV show Westworld, but as I thought about the perspective, it made it that much more horrifying […]

RTFM

I don’t like reading manuals, mainly because I like exploring things for myself. Then, after I screw some things up, I like looking things up and fixing them. It’s “learning on the fly”. And sometimes, when you do that, you miss out on some big things. Like the MTR mode […]

Vacation

I took a nice little vacation back to New York. It was a great change of pace-most times when I go back, I’m there for a few days, or maybe a week of hectic visits while I’m trying to get things done. Taking a longer vacation really allowed me to […]

18 years

18 years is quite a long time, for just about anything. It’s especially long for equipment that’s been in demand. I couldn’t really honestly be mad at the end of our beloved Carvin mixer/amp head combo. It’s been through countless gigs, events, shows, done service as a mixer, a pass […]

Amazon Deliveries

Between Ice-T poppin’ a cap in a driver’s azz: and then this: Amazon delivery is gettin’ some press. There was another article about how Amazon is paying it’s workers to quit and focus on the delivery and pays their salary for 3 months. That’s crazy and another part of Amazon […]

GOT Ending

This Dude

I was pretty unhappy with the ending for GOT. Like most everybody else, I thought the rushed and unhappy compromised stories between the characters and their respective deaths and endings were paltry and unsatisfying. BUT: Then I realized that 1) it’s a tv show. 2) it ain’t my show. 3) […]

3D Printing

I enjoy 3d printing. I think I prefer the exact specifications that the machines can do, rather than hand carved or inaccurately honed ideas. I’m not bad at sculpting, but I know that a machine can do it better. Plus, it doesn’t get tired and typically I can walk away […]

When business is a hobby…

It’s tough to establish what is a hobby anymore. Sometimes is easier to just not try to monetize the things that you like to do, that way there’s no tasks necessary that “have” to be completed. This seems so obvious, but I feel as though our society pushes so much […]

The death of middle class

I’m not sure I’m going to be able to talk about this on the podcast, but it’s definitely something I’ve noticed over the years. I can’t say that things were always better, because of course they’re not. But it is interesting to have that memory that maybe 20 years ago […]
