Audio metrology, headphones, terrible takes
Reddit appears to have suddenly banned me, with a cryptic reference to my "other accounts" as the reason

This is probably going to be the best thing to happen to my mental health all year

Got Sound Reproduction Vol 4, with an extensive headphone section by @seanolive.bsky.social - it's good to see the stuff we've talked about online making it onto the record.

It's amazing that with 51 pages, it still feels like there's so much left to cover - maybe Sean should do a followup book.

Having lived in a town with a population under Dunbar's number, it was definitely not utopian, but every year I spend in larger settlements makes me more convinced that humans cope very poorly with not being able to remember all of the people sharing their town.

Guys I think I have a brain disorder, I just spent a day F5ing a UPS tracking link before realizing that 1, it was of a shipment I was sending, 2, I hadn't shipped it yet and that's why there were no tracking details

When I realized that AI is basically the equivalent of a free CS undergrad intern at present, I simultaneously realized why I'm not very excited by it and why some people are very excited by it.

Got some QC Ultras for plane usage - I would seriously recommend that any "hifi" company trying to compete in this product space divest immediately.

In light of the recently semi-enacted ban on TikTok, I'd like to publicly state my universal support of banning any and all social media platforms, regardless of reason or ownership.

In a rare and momentous occasion, audio is NOT the most toxic online nerd hobby space this week, and I am basking in the comparative calm.

We're not doing any better, but at least other people are worse!

My new years resolution is to do work more and worry about work less

@resolvereviews.bsky.social mentioning Great Big Sea on stream has me listening to them again, and while I get that twenty years is a long run, I do wish they were still together. None of their solo stuff has quite captured the vibe for me (although I haven't seen Telltale Harbour)
