I've deleted myself from Facebook (and from a couple of other platforms)
In this post, I share a couple of concerns about social media, and I explain how I evaluated the different platforms I've used earlier.
Nhato - Trace of Will
I've just ran into this album a few days ago because of Onoken. For people into trance, this can be interesting.
Moving to a new company: goodbye Prezi, hello Deligo
A couple of lines about what happened with me in my professional life. TL;DR: a whoooooole lot. 🤣
Piano updates
The last time I wrote about anything piano related was ages ago, so it's time - especially because I've figured out something hours ago that massively improves my digital piano setup.
ZSA Voyager - the keyboard that's so cool I have rise to the challenge of using it (and re-learn how to type)
It could be weird that after such a long break, I'm getting started again with such a post, but I'm really into this now… After a lot of pondering, I bought a ZSA Voyager keyboard, and I thought I would share the full story, as it's quite entertaining. Or insightful. Or both. 😉
Status updates
I’ve seen quite a few of different productivity methods, but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re upside down. Many of them are trying to handle how you could better organize your tasks and execute, but they ignore that in order to do that, you first need to have some energy.
This “how can I recharge?” question seems to be much more interesting for me at the moment.
I just had a quick test session with Faircamp, which is a static site generator for music producers. It can be an interetsing option if you would like to host your own music in a nice way.
I’ve just spent two hours with trying to make some new sounds with Phase Plant, and digging its presets to see if I can learn some nice tricks. It has been a while. Phase Plant was a great choice, it’s very pleasant to use.
BTW, it’s exactly the need of such “try to understand things more deeply” sessions that explains why I think we should minimize our artistic toolset.
Finally, my V60 coffee equipment is complete 🙂 Got myself a Hario Buono and a Hario Range Server. Having a gooseneck kettle matters a whole lot, with this, I can control the flow of the water much better and the entire experience is more pleasant.
BTW I’m the weird guy who makes lattes (and latte art attempts) even from V60, such are the requirements around here 😂 For this, I bought a smaller frothing pitcher, because I only had a bigger one that was not too pleasant to use when you wanted foam for a single cup, and I rather do ours one by one, the results are better that way.
