Working on some new tricks for SpaceBlender

It’s that time of year in Vermont where every nice day feels like it could be our last for a while. Also have a DSP algorithmic brain-worm that’s hard to let go of, so trying for multi-objective optimization.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Way back in 2010 when Haiti was devastated by an earthquake, I wanted to find a way to help. I had some very long and intense conversations with a dear friend about the ethics of corporate fundraising, and how it was often a veneer for just SELLING MORE STUFF.

Kind of crazy to think that my first commit for what's now SpaceBlender was a little over 7 years ago and we just released it today! The working title was "Ambient", then "Ambient 1" and "Ambient 2" until just a few months ago. www.soundtoys.com/product/spac... #SlowPlugIns

We were wondering about the lack of social commentary at Coachella, and then caught Bob Vylan, one of my favorite new discoveries at the festival, and they pretty much laid it all out. Another great reason to support independent artists.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

A picture of Neri Alvarado, a young man, standing next to his brother, who is a young teenager. Both are smiling for the camera and wearing matching shirts. Neri has his arm around his brother.

A picture of Neri's tattoo, which is an autism ribbon in rainbow colors with his brother's name "Neryelson" written on it.

Peter Gabriel's Biko was on constant rotation as we worked on the H3000 Harmonizer at Eventide. It resonates even more darkly now as the USA turns authoritarian and starts locking up and disappearing people who dare speak up against the current regime. open.spotify.com/track/4X5nq5...

Sitting there with your little paddles and not leaving or interrupting this bullshit only grants it the veneer of normalcy. This isn’t normal. And if you value decorum over the lives of trans people, over the destruction of democracy, go find another job. We don’t need you.

You might be wondering where to look right now. I’m going to say this despite specialising in the MENA region & foreign policy: Focus squarely on DC power grabs & how DOGE in particular is (1) gutting American power & safety & (2) eroding the checks & balances fundamental to American democracy.
