  1. Headline on Politico:

    Trump hints that he's leaning toward Powell or Taylor for Fed chair

    Well, who would have thought that?

  3. This obscure Halloween special, "The Search for Houdini", hosted by William Shatner, with various magicians performing Houdini tricks (including Penn & Teller):

  5. Well, maybe somewhat cool anyway.

    So, I mentioned on occasion that I sometimes fool around with synthesizers. I don't know nothing about composition and have no real talent there, so my interest is chiefly on the technical side of things. Yet here is a little example of my feeble attempts of recording electronic music. The cue goes on for two minutes, no variation, no bridge, no nothing. Mixed from 4 tracks this is a quite simple affair.

    For those interested in the gear: The beat comes from the Casio XW-PD1 Groovebox, slowed down to half the bpm. Everything else is the Access Virus TI Snow wavetable digital desktop synth. I recorded and mixed this on a Zoom R16. Some polish was done with Audacity.

    VERY retro!
    ...but I actually kinda like it. smile

    It feels like the intro to an old Commodore Amiga game, so it makes me feel all nostalgic.

  7. Thanks, Martijn. smile

    It tries to be an homage of course. Hence the title and the cover.

    Yes, great photos. My dad has subscribed to National Geographic since the 70s, and I remember as a kid and youngster I used to sift through the magazines when they arrived in the mail, to marvel at photos such as those.
    I am extremely serious.
