Scary thing is that I know the man who kept this fire on the Big Island at bay [hawaiinewsnow.com]. Mr. Hall was a teacher of mine in high school. He was the one who taught me the importance of being able to communicate technical knowledge effectively.
Hard for me to have even more respect for this man who touched so many people.
Managed to clean the second floor of the condo, went to the laundromat to wash a comforter that had been needing it for months, got a haircut, and went out for a walk on a new trail that opened up earlier this year.
Not bad for a day off.
@variablepulserate one of my “before and after” weight loss photos appears in the documentary.
@variablepulserate the only part the device itself did was make a single MP3 of the tape side. Think a Walkman with a MicroSD slot to record tapes on.
The rest was me in Audacity chopping into individual tracks, doing a little noise reduction, and adding ID3 tags in Apple Music.
Still a satisfying result.
After four tries, I finally got a tape player that actually works and does a reasonable job turning a cassette into an MP3.
Granted, it's only my Before and After photos, but I wonder if I can now claim an IMDB credit for appearing in a film [amazon.com]… 🤔
@hazardwarning I find I have enough tea that I get through a jar regularly enough.
@hazardwarning The pictured Apple Cider Vinegar and local honey. :)
One of the nicknames for the cat is "murder kitten" as he tends to run right in front of me while I descend the stairs at times. He prefers to be pet with feet for whatever reason.
There’s a reason I refer to my cat as a Tolling Authority. He sets up his “toll booth” pretty much anywhere there’s carpet. That frequently includes the stairs. Before I’ve had coffee, and in this case, the tea that is keeping me away from (p)harma.
