I took CoBOL. Twice. My college nickname, Crash, came from a 100% error rate that the CoBOL compiler gave me for making a mistake in my first line of code. I've spent a lot of time with Grace Hopper. She's my patron saint.

The Equal LUFS Illusion Equal LUFS means it'll sound the same loudness, right ? Often yes, but it's not *always* that simple... More info: productionadvice.co.uk/equal-lufs/

Grape flavor doesn't taste like grapes. Almond flavor doesn't taste like almonds. Why do we tell ourselves these lies?

I am brimming with holiday spirit

Mac OS recognizes current id3 tags. Windows seems to want a previous version.

I have set up a store where I've made some CDs/LPs available for ("Ray Bloody") PURCHASE (for cheap) - some of these haven't been available before as I'd only had a limited amount for promotion etc. dren-mcdonald-music-merchandise-emporium.myshopify.com

When I was a production assistant on The Office, the only writing of mine that anyone read was the catering menu I typed up each day for the crew. But I realized the menu was my chance to impress the writers. So here’s a quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES. 🧵1

Exploring audio file metadata: id3 tags in .wav files with the BWF header. If I can tag a file with text of the dialogue, and that it's searchable by that text, it could benefit the work flow. But doing this shouldn't require more work than is might save. Anyone else experiment with this?

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead. Quick summary by me:

"There are so many fights, crusades, campaigns, so many calls to overcome the enemy by force... Thus it is that the inner devastation of the Western psyche matches exactly the outer devastation it has wreaked upon the planet." - Charles Einstein

Does anyone think the suicide rate goes up during the holidays because the world's worst holiday music starts blaring from every single speaker in a public place on November 29

My all time favorite Thanksgiving leftover meal: turkey with melted brie and cranberry sauce. I this case, on croissant. The lid is off to show the contents.

In totally other news, don't buy things today just because they are on sale. But if you are in the market for light up bike pedals I'm happy with these one year later. In particular the battery life has been quite good. redshiftsports.com/collections/...

I could probably do this without an electric knife, but not this thin.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Today... I remember my maternal grandmother, Estel, by putting a whole onion in the body cavity, like she did. I remember my paternal grandmother, Wilma, by putting a sweet red apple in the neck cavity, like she did. And the turkey cooks in her roasting pan, with a lid.
