Unreal crash at the Macau Formula 3 race. It's incredible to think that this 17 year old will be released from hospital in a couple of weeks!

Happy birthday JP! Wish I was there with you!

Wayne and Antonio, Terrible news for you both. My heart goes out to you and the others touched by their passing.

That's it,.. You're fired! (Grado free zone)

I can almost smell the Playdough!

RIP Stan He made comics cool for grownups and I couldn't help but smile inside when I saw him on film.

Homecoming Amazon brought another great podcast to video. The awesome videography and vision of Sam Esmail (Mr Robot) and excellent acting from Julia Roberts and Stephan James really made this a treat for me. IMHO Esmail is the king at enveloping the viewer in a construct at the drop of a hat. I really loved the 1/2 hour format for this this story and all the little touches like the way they let the camera roll during each of the ending credits.

OMG, that is totally amazing Dusty! I kinda hope he put it all on his mom's credit card!

Happy Birthday buddy! Enjoy the day/weekend/year!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Antonio, Got a chance to hear Wadada Leo Smith perform "America's National Parks" this year at Monterey. Very cool! And thanks for the Mingus recommendation. I hadn't heard of that and I'll check it out for sure.

Very scary Greg. Glad to hear your kids are okay!

My sympathies to the family and you Brent. Very sad stuff.

I had the same issue with a midi keyboard. Out of nowhere it would just stop working and I had to reconnect it . Most of the usb cables I had laying around came for free with something or other and it seems like they don't age well or something. Anyway, I started using some UGREEN cables from Amazon and so far so good (6 months I think). Pretty cheap so you might give em a try. I have a feeling it might be related to the female connector on my Novation since I don't have that problem with any of my other 8 usb devices I use all the time. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P0FO1P0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

I'm not sure how you plan to connect it but if you want a Thunderbolt solution (just v2 at the moment) the Blackmagic multidock is a pretty popular choice for audio and video. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicmultidock

RIP Roy Hargrove. What a fucked up shock! He will be missed.

Heal quickly Ken! Hope you're not in too much pain.

Beautiful concert hall Pars! Here's an article about a brawl at a Mahler performance in Sweden. (Kinda made me feel a little better about my fellow Americans) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sweden-malmo-classical-music-concert-chewing-gum-fight-punch-brawl-a8588761.html?fbclid=IwAR37vNCTjBTG_XsoGhkQ9XN9mGPxJYj-Fkpijr_ZjpQwK6j9nHcWmeNfbp8

Bruce Munro's vimeo page is worth setting to full screen and autoplay through the lot. BTW you lucky guys in the Bay Area can see one of his installations at Montalvo now.

Dan, all kidding aside, I'd love to hear how your Hackintosh adventure went (with pics if you got 'em).

I thought about that when I was watching the Keynote. Then I was dazzled by all the pretty pictures again and totally forgot about you.

Seems like now that they've settled into the Saucer (which is really worth seeing if you get a chance), the designers at Apple have gotten down to business and released some cool stuff!

All my music pro buds are all quivering at the release of the new Mac Mini! Could be just what we need (once the 3rd party ram prices go down). https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/10/new-mac-mini-packs-huge-punch/

Happy Birthday Marc! Have a great day!
