Does this thing still work? Edit: Apparently yes, it does still work.

How Brian Eno Created Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Dan Carr in How Brian Eno Created Ambient 1: Music For Airports : In this article, I’ll discuss how Music for Airports was created, and I’ll deconstruct and recreate the tracks 2/1 and 1/2. Hopefully, the article will demystify some of Brian Eno’s techniques, and give you some ideas about how to adopt some of his ambient music techniques yourself. Wow! This was a fantastic write-up of how Brian…
What's up, July 2026 edition
Well, it's been a while. It's not that I haven't had the time to post. It's just that I sort of fell off the wagon and stopped writing and posting regularly. That's something I want to remedy, because both are positive habits that make me feel better about myself. So, instead of procrastinating while waiting for the perfect ‘I'm back!’ post to be delivered through divine intervention directly to…
The economics of AI explained
Andrew Singleton in AI Economics for Dummies at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain.

Nine
Once more I can't believe another year has passed. I feel like the speed of time has increased tenfold. It was only just yesterday that I sat down with little time to spare to collect my thoughts about what should've been your eight birthday ?

Love at first listen

Came across Rattlesnake Milk today and it was love at first listen. Both their albums (from Bandcamp and Qobuz ). While listening I looked up their upcoming tour dates. Was mightily disappointed discovering…

Cruel irony of addiction
Caffeine's negative effects on me are never clearer than when I'm under the influence of caffeine. (I rewrote that sentence 13 times to get it ‘right’. It still doesn't feel right, but perfect is the enemy of good.)
Tracking my workouts circa 2012
A couple years before I got my first GPS watch, this was how I tracked my workouts: This was a ‘10k’ (ish) run. Based on my understanding of what someone had told me was the course of a local 10k race. To be honest, it worked just fine. I'm not sure adding GPS and other sensors for a multitude of advanced metrics has made me any fitter than I would've been if I'd just continued running with my old…
