That sounds awesome. I actually went to Barcelona once (where Picasso studied art at one point). Some cool pieces there to see. But yea, I'm definitely interested in art. Aside from my day job as a digital artist, I love painting on ca

It's just my opinion, but I like visual art that you'd say "wow!" or "beautiful!" when you first look at it. Not "Hmm... now what's this all about? A soup can?" And then someone has to explain &q

Your example of Guernica: If someone with no knowledge of the meaning behind it, and saw it for the first time... would they really be emotionally blown away? Should a painting have to be explained? I dunno, I prefer art that is breathtakin

It's been a while since I've made music, but my secret sauce has always been Wave's Abbey Road TG mastering chain (not "AI" but it has tons of nice presets for different genres). I need to test this Logic Mastering

Date the camera, marry the lens. With the slew of mounting adapters these days, you can keep using even 60-year-old lenses on most camera bodies. Like the Helios 44-2 (ca. 1958), still being used today on big features like "The Batman&

I somehow feel guilty for never even remembering the original game. My first console game was Mario Bros on the NES. And I was big into RPGs back in the late 90s (eg. FFVII). How am I just hearing of this now, and this remake?!

When I managed just a half dozen of people (in a 300 person org), I soaked in every bit of feedback, especially if there were concerns -- whether in our group or at executive level. I get there are some "managers" that just skirt

It's wild how so many hearing-capable people these days are saying they are turning on captions just to hear dialog, like on on Netflix or whatever. This article was written nearly 25 years ago, and we still haven't figured out ho

People will pay more for convenience. A music streaming service with access to millions of songs is the same price per month of what a single artist's CD was 20 years ago. Sure, you don't have a cool physical copy, but it's i

I so was hyped for the RX8 back in 2003. For its time it looked pretty cool and the interior layout was even better. But I kept hearing about the reliability issues after just a couple of years. So I ended up going with a 6spd Nissan 350Z

Interesting, I haven't looked into GovCloud before. While it seems weird that the US government would entrust their data with AWS, it's probably a lot better than their antiquated systems. This 2020 article is a good read for anyo

Was it worth $1,700,000,000,000 though ($1.7 trillion)? I'm all for aviation innovation, but the US defense budget is just wild.

So how would you monetize YouTube with its huge infrastructure & payroll? And if everyone used something to block in-video sponsored ads, how would you monetize your hard work as a creator?

Aside from the buzzing rotors, wouldn't wind noise be a big issue too? When recording your flights, what noises do you want it to pick up?
