@caseyliss Did you put some voodoo curse on me because of your recent Synology problems? Literally the same day I heard my old Synology mentioned on @atpfm

2017 Yunnan Sourcing "Crimson Rooster" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

Made some waffles for the kids the morning and remembered the Darth Vader pancake iron I got last Christmas but never used. Not bad!

I don't know why but I find it very amusing the US passport office now has to ask people not to use cat face filters on their official passport photos.
These little at-home air pumps are a small but fantastic investment.

How to Start a Cassette Collection in the 21st Century — WIRED

The most unlikely of music formats is staging a return. Part novelty and part nostalgia, here’s how to dive in.

Continuing my Pat Metheny theme from yesterday... here's a cool video of him with the Synclavier. 1986. The primordial age of Music+Computers.

Pat Metheny - The Synclavier 1986

YouTube

I've been a long-time on-again off-again fan of Pat Metheny (since the 80s) so I'm just now catching up with his work over the last decade or so.

I'm really impressed with his "Unity" recordings. Especially "Kin".

Particularly impressed with the sax work by Chris Potter
