I have the external Magic Trackpad. It is wonderful. I use it with my split Moonlander keyboard, and keep it in the middle. I honestly can't use a normal keyboard now, MacBook Pro included.

If you are 3-400+ pounds, quickly shedding 100+ pounds makes exercising MUCH easier, and the accompanying loss in appetite will HOPEFULLY teach you better portion sizes. Countless morbidly overweight people have tried for years/decades

Very cool! I'm confused why you didn't link the video of Radiohead wearing all black and playing at MTV Spring Break :-). I was VERY deep into Radiohead in college (early 2000s), and love all of these videos; I'm pretty sure

I'd like to think that, I love this period from Davis, and love Hendrix, so it would have been great to see a collab. In terms of communication, I am thinking of something like the musical equivalent to software design patterns, etc. I

Yes! I always think first of How to Disappear Completely, which I think was the first song he used it on. I remember watching some concert in college from the Kid A days, and he would have like 3 Ondes Martenot players on stage with them, c

Agreed! Like Pharaoh's Dance on Bitch's Brew, Davis doesn't come in for like 4 minutes. Same with In A Silent Way. He just lets the band groove for a while, THEN takes the lead. In Davis' autobiography, he mentions tryin

Hard disagree. I grew up with parents who LOVED science; my earliest memories in the 80s are my mom checking out Cosmos from the library on VHS and binging it. It is a big reason I have an engineering PhD. At the same time, they were 60s hi

Does anyone know how to get past the CNN popup that only gives you the choice "Agree to collecting any and all private information"? There is no way to opt out, no way to disagree. I refuse to press it, and have not read CNN artic

Yep, this is why it's also called BOLD imaging, for blood-oxygenation-level-dependent fMRI. I did my PhD is BME and brain-computer interfaces, but it has been a while since I worked in the field.
