the Atari brand is cute, but those products are a bit schmaltzy. we should find a way to get control of one of these brands and do an LBO of an OEM like framework or system76 for manufacturing. Apple is out of ideas and they're never g

music is the category of all possible languages, is a statement I've been mulling lately. it's less of an aesthetic judgment than the usual, "music is a language," where it's more of a comment on encoding. I'd
