Lots of drama in the news as always, so I thought I would lighten up the mood a bit with some historical shenanigans. Back in high school, I remember my history teacher regaling to me the story of Timothy Dexter. There are a lot of philosophical lessons to be drawn from his life, the most important being success is not tied to hard work. There’s also a parallel to be made from a business perspective, that those who are fearless (but not careless) with their money tend to grow it the most. More nuance in the audio portion of the blog.
I recently upgraded my phone and being the stingy bastard that I am, I wanted to see what was out there that I could save a few dollars on. To my surprise, digital image stabilization has become so much better than it used to be, I kind of question the need of gimbals for anything other than actual professional or enthusiast work. Agree or disagree feel free to let me know in the comments.
Got a song recommendation this week that comes from a “strange place”. I say this because I can’t distinguish whether or not the vocals used in the track are human (tuned) or a vocaloid. Whatever it is, it sounds good and thought I would share. Blaine Hunter is an indie artist (as far as I can tell) and you can find them on various platforms.
Artist is Ara / Aranee
I mentioned vocaloid, so it’s my civic duty to post Brazilian Hatsune Miku because of it. And one fine example of such is done by the talented Ara / Aranee. Feel free to support them on Patreon or visit their pixiv page for more works done by them.
