I just listened to a documentary about Dolly Parton. What an icon! Growing up in a religious home, there were strict rules about what to wear and how to look. One day, while she's in town with her mother, she sees a woman who's broken all those rules. She asks her mother about the woman, who replies that she's...
Before there was magnetic tape, there were magnetic wire recordings using a 0.1 mm steel wire instead of plastic tape with a magnetic coating. However, the basic principle is the same. Iāve spent the past couple of weeks getting a magnetic wire recording up and running again ā at least the playback partā¦ This...
They've left it a bit late, but GSC Game World has revealed the release date for their Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl expansion, Cost of Hope. The expansion launches on 20 August, or in just over three weeks' time.STALKER 2 launched in late 2024 and was a very good time, despite janky launch bugs and some...

One particular video I watched from the same channel was The Big Breakfast II: A Tale of Two Eras, and the ending...
[1974]The great glam rock disco sound of The Glitter Band. They didn't even need Gary. Also a tune.
I hate conferences: they bring out the worst in me. I become a fawning, politicking creep, continually eyeing the room for someone important to talk to. Hmm, letās try him, he looks tall and distinguished. Oh no, heās a retired lawyer who lives locally and ājust turned up to hear what you had to sayā! Quick, escape...
I made an agent skill that creates collage images, you can get it here. Iāve been playing a lot recently with Anthropicās canvas-design skill, itās also a nice example how context and workflow can be embedded into a skill to enhance the agentās harness, rather than just adding a glorified prompt that will probably...
Pavement - The Catās Cradle, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, July 28, 1996Pavement is stomping out the footlights at the Ryman tonight ā but 30 years ago this summer, the band was holed up in Mitch Easterās Piedmont Triad Studio, recording what would become the bandās fourth studio album, Brighten the Corners. To blow...
