Pink clouds are swept across the morning sky with hills and trees along the bottom of the frame.

Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra hospitalized after hemorrhagic stroke Dead Kennedys co-founder Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on March 7. He is hospitalized but stable.

Jello Biafra is hospitalized after a hemorrhagic stroke on Saturday. He's stable. True to form, he joked "I've fallen and I can't get up" mid-stroke.

But anytime I’m recording something that needs to go boom, and is especially loud, there’s an opportunity to hear how this mic, or other bass forward high SPL tolerant microphones, might render that source.

A shiny black microphone with side ports and letters spelling AUDIX D6. A mic cable, mic stand, and simulated wood floor extend below the mic.

Wishing a happy Microphone Monday to all who celebrate! While the Audix D6 is so specifically designed for use as a kick spot mic, I might be tempted to keep it in the zipper pouch most of the time.

Google Has a Secret Reference Desk. Here's How to Use It. 40 Google features to find exactly what you need, the alternative search engines that do things Google won't, and the reference desk framework underneath all of it.

HEADS UP this is REALLY USEFUL for, well, anyone who uses Google for search (or would rather use something else). I knew some of these but several were new to me and maybe will be to you too! cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Hearing yourself read it also makes your book a better audiobook.

And it helps you appreciate the skill of a good audiobook narrator.

I was just saying this an hour ago. I miss worrying less about the president doing some profoundly stupid every damn day. It's such a low bar.

A sequence of shots from the TV series MASH. Three surgeons are operating in a mobile army surgical theater, and are masked in cotton masks, wearing cotton caps to cover hair, and aprons. Bright lights are visible in their backgrounds. The first, panel shows Frank Burns (an absolute jerk character but Larry Linville, his actor, was not) saying, β€œEverybody knows war is Hell”. The second panel shows BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) saying (sarcastically) β€œ remember, you heard it here last.” The third and fourth panels show Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) saying, β€œWar isn’t Hell. War is war and Hell is hell and of the two, war is a lot worse.β€œ 
5th panel shows Father Mulcahey, the chaplain (William Christopher) saying, β€œHow do you figure that, Hawkeye?” 6th is back to Hawkeye, saying β€œ Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?” 7th is Fr Mulcahey saying β€œ Sinners, I believe.” 

The last three panels are all Hawkeye, saying,  β€œ Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”

Heads of state, who ride and wrangle
Who look at your face, from more than one angle
Can cut you from their bloated budgets
Like sharpened knives to chicken mcnuggets

Hey y'all, reminder that I'll be at GDC giving two (2) talks!

Monday at 11:50, I'll be talking about how we can make board games better for the planet.

Friday at 12:30 (new time!) I'll be at the Experimental Games Showcase talking about how the escape room in my apartment made my friends cry.
