#AudioMo day 25:
On August 12, 2007, my partner, her parents, and I took a day-trip to visit Korea town in Chicago. While there, we came upon a couple of locals performing what I presume to be some kind of traditional Korean drumming. I don't know what the speaker is saying, so forgive the vagueness of this description. Enjoy.
Brief summary of the Trump presidency:
Trump’s Israel-Iran peace deal will be a huge success… right after Trump’s Ukraine-Russia peace deal is reached… which happens right after Gaza becomes the “Riviera of The Middle East”… which comes right after Trump does 90 trade deals in 90 days… which will happen right after Elon Musk finds 2 trillion dollars of waste in the federal budget… which will happen right after Canada becomes the 51st state.
And it will all happen…
In two weeks.

Revisiting a performance given by the Irish musician Seamus Kennedy from June 6, 2010, in which he performs a song about living in Chicago.
"In 2022, undocumented immigrants contributed around $96.7 billion worth of taxes. But that is something that the Trump administration doesn’t want you to know.
"There are a lot of lies flying around about immigrants, but I’m sure you have more than one story that can attest to the contrary. Talk about it, share it. That helps. Today, they need to know that they’re not alone.
"Immigrants need to know that their struggle is yours as well.” (3/3)
#AudioMo day 23:
Some ambiance from a #TexasRangers baseball game my family and I attended on a sweltering September 7, 2008. In it, you'll hear some organ music, a few baseball plays, and good old Chuck Morgan reading an ad for Texas Rangers-themed Bud Lite bottles.

Did you know that there is hidden morse code all throughout Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells' album?
Somehow, probably during the two-track mix-down stage of the album, the CW from a powerful, very low frequency transmitter about 37 miles north of the studio in which this album was recorded found it's way to tape. It's centered at 16 kHz, and so low in the mix that you can't actually hear it... at least, not without some help.
This is a very short, not particularly comprehensive demo using two different methods -- a pair of stock Reaper plugins and an SDR package to mostly isolate this morse transmission, which is heard throughout the entire album.

@craigabbott uses a recent job posting to show how employers treat #accessibility work as undervalued, reactive, and purely transactional.
Recognize when the job is a sacrificial lamb and walk away.

A snippet of a bus ride I took in early May of 2008. In it, a woman went on and on about being late to a critical appointment (which turned out to be a haircut), and a cranky old man finally had enough. For those who followed Blart Radio back then, this was the man I dubbed "Real Life Ed."
