It's been several years but I also had the pleasure of meeting Rusty down at the studio once. My dad has now made it a habit; he's been to SF for work and pleasure four or five times now, and met up with him each time,…

Most electronics warranties on stuff I've bought have been a year, max. Out of that period? Antenna snipping time! ...if there is one to snip, of course.
On phone support calls I usually can't even get people who know what a URL, URL bar, or even a search bar, is in the first place. "The box at the top where you type in websites you want to go to." "What are you talking…
FWIW, I don't go out to eat that often. I don't cook much either, except for weekend prep as mentioned. When I don't have something prepped, it's usually wraps with tortillas, baby spinach, and some sort of meat and…
Cleanup for me definitely doesn't consist only of the dishwasher; my knives, wok, cast iron stuff to start definitely don't get put in there. I have optimized what I do quite well, or at least I'm much faster than I…

My local airport is so small that they don't process security until half an hour before boarding. We have one "gate", and the planes we get can hold 50 people when full. I have Precheck (always marked on the boarding…

Business hours. I'm at work from 8AM to 6PM five days a week. Near the winter solstice, the sun sets around 4:30-5:30. Getting up earlier would just make me have to go to bed earlier. It's dark either way.

Probability-based triggers are one of my favorite things, and something that I thought was pretty lacking here (I only came to Ableton just recently, but nearly every arpeggiator I've used up until now has had a note…

Our business has a dash/hyphen in the name. I say "dash" and I honestly rarely have issues getting folks to our page. The worse part is getting people to understand the letters over the phone (half my customers don't…
