Kiosks and apps make the front entry self-service. And less confrontational. Commerce took place before you left home. So wayfinding the schedule isn't part of a moviegoing experience. Choosing what to see next doesn't create crowds outside. And on a hot summer day, it's better to be air-conditioned and popcorned sooner.
My brother released a new album of improvised electronic music. NOISE is "a collection of noise experiments, some recorded in performance". I think this is Sander's sixth album. I listen in small chunks because I don't have the vocabulary to really internalize

Ranked: Countries Receiving the Most Remittances From Abroad. The totals are huge. I proposed remittance (people abroad sending money to family) as a business model for Skype around 2008.
