I think even take-homes and coding tests are stupid. As well as not being accurate, do carpenters get asked to build something or architects have to draw up plans before getting hired? I'd rather give a sample of previous work and discuss it with them (they have to trust I did it, same way I have to...

I hate to sound naive, but do other industries have people go through as many rounds of interviews and testing as tech? It's exhausting.

I have a Traynor YBA-1 - serial number is 4766 which places it in the sixties. Sounds great, used it a lot over the past ten years but I have too many amps and I need money to buy Nanalan merch. Does anyone in Chicago want it? $750 cash? is that too high? If it sounds ANYTHING like this then someon...

I put together a Blacklighter power trio with some fellow FMs Peripatetic and Charlie D. We have been jamming at Peripatetics house every few weeks or so and are looking into different practice space situations and have written a couple more songs as well as found a cover or two to do. I didn't cat...

We'll put out the best ones as the first Glass Hog album.

I'm sure that would be well received! I'm curious what logic is required to separate the wheedle dee from the yak yak. I hoped there would be something pre-made, but it looks like you'd have to use a python library to do "onset detection" then figure out which of those are music or else u...

Being unemployed currently, I'm tempted to make a website for gear demos where you paste in the youtube link and it just edits out all the goddamned talking.
Call it shutupandplay.com or something.

Would people actually use it?

Civil War . Strange cut-and-shut movie: 3/4 is a sympathetic portrayal of the job of (war) reporting, using the neat device of switching the foreign for the domestic (although with the clunky device of introducing a naïve new reporter). The politics here is irrelevant, and it's basically a road mov...

Crab Champions. A roguelite horde shooter where you're a crab, with a gun. Very moreish. https://i.postimg.cc/sDZmbzHC/339260628-238700955404630-4596480910939850261-n.jpg I wish this was available on Xbox. It'll just about run on potato-grade laptops if you have one? An alternative for Xbox is Risk...

Monkey Man is really, really fun. It's better than the John Wicks and incorporates trans rights and anti-fascist sentiment to boot. It's Dev Patel's first film as director. It's a revenge flick with a schlocky 90s Hollywood Big Bad Guy who needs taking down (which we've all kind of missed), but he i...
