Happy Birthday to Shania Twain. Playing drums on stage with her in the late 1990's and facing over 16,000 screaming fans at once was quite an experience! (haven't played in front of that size crowd since)
even 64gb of ram isn't enough... 😒
re-working this film score I restored yesterday and I think it's time to optimize.
Just read this great @nytimes article on poet Ezra Pound. Pound established these rules for his style of poetry that are apropos for composers, too!
1. Direct treatment of the “thing,” whether subjective or objective.
2. To use absolutely no word that did not contribute to the presentation.
3. As regarding rhythm: to compose in sequence of the musical phrase, not in sequence of a metronome.
This is worth the quick read. nytimes.com/interactive/2026… – at Willow Grove, PA
Doesn't look like much. But omfg this was 3 *full* days of work restoring this film score in Cubase 15 from Cubase 12 and numerous deprecated vst 2 plugs and instruments. – at Willow Grove, PA
😲 Polyend has a qwerty keyboard coming out with built-in 3 octave MIDI keyboard and 9 digital midi encoders! @madeinpolyend

Welp, time to ditch my @Tangem. Their dev team confirmed that "due to licensing," local builds can't use Tangem cards—even though the code is public. No private key extraction either. If they ever get pulled from the app store, your crypto is gone.
Blast from the past... years ago I wrote all the music and sound design for slot machine games in Las Vegas. I wonder if these are still there! 😂

I misunderstood the @Ledger multisig announcement the other day. I understood they've decided to charge like a Swiss private bank, but I've only just realized the extent to which they're not actually private at all...
I was also dismayed to see that this is still NOT a Ledger app which actually allows normal people securely sign txs, which was the entire issue in the first place. I refuse to call it "clearsigning". There's just "signing" and "yolo signing", and the ability to not yolo sign is not a premium feature - it's basically functionality without which your product is reckless and irresponsible
But back to the privacy: obviously I opted out of analytics, so imagine my surprise at all the tracker calls which @brave helpfully blocked for me
So what's Ledger trying to share here with the friendly data harvesting technologists at @datadoghq ?
* My personal Safe addresses
* My personal browser metadata
* My personal device metadata (screen resolution)
* My every move that I take on the app
What is this for? Ledger's own privacy policy states that sharing this kind of data requires consent, yet this is happening anyway to a company (Datadog, Inc.) not even mentioned in the privacy policy!
And yes, I fully expect this project will be dead on arrival because of insane pricing. But I'm more concerned that once again a major crypto player like Ledger (and EU based to boot!) doesn't care about basic privacy protection or following the most basic privacy regulations
@Ledger please do better than this, a privacy policy is not just a formality if you are a security company!
Looks like a dystopian hellscape.
Congratulations @jpmorgan on the opening of your new headquarters! 🎉🇺🇸🙏
A home solo bitcoin miner with a humble 82 petahash/sec hit the lottery this afternoon. There's hope for your giant Nerdaxe farm!
So sad, R.I.P. D'Angelo. I remember obsessing over his music and playing Voodoo nonstop back in college with all the other jazz majors. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/arts/…
Hold on! Virtual Sound Stage is FREE now?! share.google/tubfYnlkyaqRYjF…
Somebody knew some market manipulation was going to happen... And made a fortune shorting bitcoin
New music! Here's a short excerpt from a suite of music for strings and piano. Can't wait to record this with legit players! 😃
why does @SallieMae's website run like they are using steam powered modems?
