August 25https://tubitv.com/movies/695953/my-music-brain Good 50 minute program on music and the brain. A lot of it centers around putting Sting in an fMRI and talking to him but lots of other cool stuff too.
August 24 spent way too long fighting with making a video of a still image, with audio and some subtitles. The result is here AmyoursSubs.mp4. This is an attempt
to show the music I witnessed and captured at the Papua New Guinea Highlands Sing Sing Competition of 1984, in Goroka, PNG.
August 23a-tale-of-two-jurists.htmlAugust 22 ** 3 just started using Zed. Been using more open source/free software lately. Also glad to further distance myself from Microsoft (my relationship with them is long and tortured.)
The latest drama I've seen about them is reported here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/19/microsoft-workers-protest-washington-israelAugust 22 ** 2 This wonderful video showed up in my Insta feed. As I do these days, I managed to "liberate" it so it can be freely shared. This singer is great, and so is the pianist! Classic stuff. My Dad used to like stuff like this when
he was young. These two just start the phone recording and do this. Amazing. I followed them both on Insta. I think the pianist is Sullivan Fortner, listening to him now on Apple Music. The singer is Cécile McLorin Salvan. She's on Apple Music as well.
It's so different the way music shows up now and how I access it. Could ramble on about the radio and record stores and magazines of days gone by. How do these people make money? They are so good.
CelineMClorinSalvantEasyComeEasyGoBlues.mp4August 22 I am a pirate! Shame, shame! My RSS reader allowed me to read this article from the MIT Technology Review. It even allowed me to turn it into a .pdf! Their
website says it's for subscribers only.
I think this is important - these billionaires dreaming of conquering space are harming us all. Here's a review of three books about why that is true. TheCaseAgainstHumansInSpace.pdf.
August 20 Because. (Thanks Chris Coon) BecauseChrisCron.mp4August 16 ** 2 The good folks at https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp may have done some updates, I was getting
403 forbidden status when downloading that video and "git cloned" a fresh copy and it worked. I think people should really try to
maintain their own copies of things, you never know when that website, that Youtube video, etc., will be taken down. I have a useless bookmark to a Youtube video that showed
Ed Sheehan switching into "Let's Get it On" when playing "his" song live, but it was taken away. Of course there are more important things to preserve.
August 16WhenYouStripAwayHumanity.mp4 This is really good and important. The human "ability" to
see other humans as monsters is so much of the whole problem.

LOL uploading this at a screaming 22kB/s...... 😂at least it's B and not b.
August 12 Coco Frio at the beach!
Keep in mind, I'm an atheist or Buddhist or something....
August 03 ** 2 A poem.
How do the small birds
in the street know
how not to die—
that whatever
they gather,
hunger for, is never
enough to keep them
in the road
when our wheels bear down
upon them? They feast on
what I cannot see
then fly away
& sing.
--Kevin Young
August 03 Just watch this. It speaks for itself. August 02
I was there. Giants Stadium 6/15/1986. It's not that specifically amazing, for them, but
I think they were amazing in general. It's more that I've been thinking about this song, its title and
lyrics, given the horrors in the media now.
How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Hide my face in my hands
Shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen
Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
