    His contributions to the Monome Norns ecosystem are impressive as well! Barcode ( https://infinitedigits.co/docs/software/norns-scripts/barcod... ) is a classic and I still rock it…

    Swinsian is 100% worth the $24.95. It's really nice to have a good system for offline music purchases.

    Heck yeah! I use an RSS reader to consume news every day on both my phone and laptop. It's blissfully free of extras and distraction.

    I bought a six-pack of sand timers. They are silent, require no apps, have no screens, and are beautiful. They will probably outlive solutions such as these.

    I hate CSV too. If I have to use it, I'll live with TSV or some other special-charter delimited format.

    Plain old AM/FM radios are cheap and super efficient. Everyone should have one! I have a portable radio that I use regularly and its AA batteries often last a few years!

    Man, I loved Windows NT back in the day. It was light enough that I could run it on fairly low end late-90s hardware, and it was substantially more stable than Windows 95.
