It’s that time of year in Vermont where every nice day feels like it could be our last for a while. Also have a DSP algorithmic brain-worm that’s hard to let go of, so trying for multi-objective optimization.

Nigella's daily recipe posts are such a sweet relief from watching the decline of western civilization.
I am very happy to say that my Roast Chicken, Basil and Bulgur Wheat Salad – a summer feast in itself – makes its debut on nigella.com, and in a starring role: that’s to say, it’s #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/roas...
Roast Chicken, Basil and Bulgur Wheat Salad
This is a glorious pile-up of a dish: crunchy, Parmesan-sprinkled lemony lettuce encircling a mound of bulgur wheat studded with vegetables and topped with garlicky, crisp-skinned chicken that’s splod...

Always wondered what life would be like in Russia. Seems like we’re on the road to find out.
Wow, Bandcamp added a feature to disable merch sales to the US. That's crazy.

I'm booking a trip to the Vineyard just for the pierogi.
I want the Forbidden Pierogies so bad.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Way back in 2010 when Haiti was devastated by an earthquake, I wanted to find a way to help. I had some very long and intense conversations with a dear friend about the ethics of corporate fundraising, and how it was often a veneer for just SELLING MORE STUFF.

"They can’t do that, can they, all this stuff they’ve been doing since the fire? Surely, we have emergency brakes to stop these kinds of things. Someone will intervene. I would look into who that is supposed to be exactly, but this glockenspiel isn’t going to tune itself."

Kind of crazy to think that my first commit for what's now SpaceBlender was a little over 7 years ago and we just released it today! The working title was "Ambient", then "Ambient 1" and "Ambient 2" until just a few months ago.

We were wondering about the lack of social commentary at Coachella, and then caught Bob Vylan, one of my favorite new discoveries at the festival, and they pretty much laid it all out. Another great reason to support independent artists.
