  1. Blu-ray is dying. Long live tape. https://www.techradar.com/pro/blu-ray-is-dying-so-i-believe-its-now-time-for-obsolete-tape-to-shine-again-in-the-strangest-of-ironies
  2. Interesting. Thanks! I don't believe I've ever heard of D-VHS, but seems like an oasis of Bikini Destinations titles.
  3. Damn. Okay, just need to buy every desired disc that may leave streaming in the next 20+ years. Wait, Sony is ceasing MiniDiscs too? Betamax is still safe though, right?
  4. Hopefully. But seriously folks, yes, the first night with the drain, the four different painkillers in rapid succession night, was easily the toughest. That zero to ten pain scale may need a few more digits. Interestingly, as I understand it, depending on how difficult the obstruction phase is, the rupture can even be a temporary relief for some, before the leaking fluids and infections retake the lead. Obviously, not your case Rob and it sounds like it was pretty awful. Also thanks for the monetary heads up. Retirement is overrated, right?
  5. I’ll wait on A.I. judgement until I get the bill. As for good luck, if I’m an optimistic type, there were several steps, including a doctor’s actions on his day off, I could point to. Also we were only caught once out of six pediatric ward escapes exploring. So the peas power remains.
  6. ^ Ugh, no more! Here: drove home from the hospital with my happy family. After a couple trips to urgent care, it was decided Esmé had some undiagnosed virus. A "stomach bug". A week into and third visit, diagnosis found - the appendix that ruptured sometime in the last week. 😵‍💫 High pain threshold is sometimes a disadvantage. Rushed to Stanford Packard hospital and then (similar to Knucks above) with viral infections filling all pediatric beds transferred in the night to San Francisco Van Ness. After another week, lots of antibiotics, a drain installed, some morphine, and several visits to the hospital's Teen Lounge, we were given the okay to come home. Lesson learned: Trust the fever. No matter the other symptoms and/or how patient is feeling, keep an eye on that temp. There may be something behind the thing. Thus ends my medical advice. E's proud portrait of parents on the day before leaving "the penthouse". The dad looks like a dick.
  7. Honestly, I bought the LP because of the cover.
  8. And then there were none. Garth Hudson, last surviving member of The Band, has died. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/garth-hudson-the-band-dead-1234804659/ https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jan/21/garth-hudson-founder-member-of-the-band-and-bob-dylan-collaborator-dies-aged-87
  9. Hope it’s a fun, big O birthday.
  10. Hope it’s a wonderful day.

    Great read… Jazz Off the Record In the late 1960s, the recording industry lost interest in America’s greatest art form. But in a small, dark club on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, jazz legends were playing the best music you’ve never heard. https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/slugs-jazz-ethan-iverson/ Ex. ‘More than Davis and perhaps even more than Coltrane, Tyner is the true architect of what followed. His signature harmonic device, the fourth chord, was disseminated on Coltrane’s hit recording of “My Favorite Things” in 1961 and widely adopted overnight. Lacking the note that would make a chord either major or minor, fourth chords have a mysterious stasis, refusing to commit to the system of tonality that defined European art music. The effect was both ancient and contemporary: a circle of stones, lit by fire, right next to a jet plane.’
