  • I got 20+ years of harddrives on my local server. I use an old rig in the main room with fubar2000 and milkdrop plugin, all hard wired on LAN. It works just fine for when I am not in my office.

    But separately I have my dad’s old phonograph and some records for when I’m working in the garage. Unfortunately that setup suffers on the speaker end more than anything. Poor things been through a dozen moves across cities and states.


  • The elephants were never a great part the zoo, IMO, and what you’re seeing is a remarkable improvement from what it used to be.

    The aquarium is the main draw for my family. It is currently the most updated and least fucked for the animals.

    The Red Wolves were reintroduced to the wild from the breeding program at the zoo too. It’s a mixed bag that place.

    They cleared out a lot more room since the 90s. I grew up near (and was often in) that zoo as a kid. Cindy was a problem for a few reasons, not just the small enclosure. She was not really trained, never interacted with other elephants, and only had one handler for most of her life. She got violent and didn’t transition well and that’s not a reputation zoo animals can have.

    From what I remember they finally moved her out, razed a whole section of the zoo, and now they’ve got somewhat adequate space for a pair of elephants. Still not great but Cindy’s situation was rough and a shame.

    I think this year that zoo finally will reopen the south pacific exhibit after realizing the 1800s british explorer look was a little… outdated and needed remodeling.



  • For me it is less about the sound and more about playing music in a way that is devoid of any real software or internet connection.

    I don’t have to worry about ads, updates, connections, etc. Just other analog things like a bent needle or dust on the record.

    It’s like camping. No I don’t like sleeping on the ground specifically but sometimes it is worth doing so to be somewhere else: disconnected.
