Project Redneck, my Ford Ranger fixer, continues with upgrades and tweaks. Got me a neutral stance with 31" wheels on a -12 offset and a front leveling kit (that needs some tweaks).

In Redmond, parked behind SpaceX are a block of cyber trucks sitting alone and fenced off. Almost like they were parked to prop up sales figures. That can't be true, surely?

Bilstein shocks, new sway bar end links. Seems the old links rotted away before I bought the vehicle so they never worked. It's like I've got a new ride.

Oh yeah, careful when visiting the SCEA PlayStation campus.

This photo is from May 2005, I'm working at PlayStation R&D and running Traktor on my brand new Vaio laptop.
I've been mixing digitally since 1997 starting with Carrot Software "Virtual Turntables (VTT)". I have MP3s twice as old as my kids.

Got to be a pall bearer for my Dad, followed at the wake by early photos of him with floppy blonde hair and Hillman Imp.
We heard stories of transporting midwives through storms and floods because that's what the local 4x4 club did. Fittingly his final journey was in a Land Rover Defender hearse.

I do love me a traction kite, but yours are HUGE. More square meters than I could ever handle, so I bet you've got quad lines to dump power whenever you feel like it.

Takum numbers also seem to have good stability when being used in linear solvers, unlike Posits. Well well, a number representation that may deserve some more attention...

Posits have problems representing physical constants, and now they also have problems representing integers. Takum takes the crown for integer reps from both Posit and IEEE754.

This book about the history of playing recorded music to crowds goes so much deeper than you would imagine. From the days of Les Zazous hiding their illegal jazz records from the Nazis in Paris in basement "discotheques", to the invention of two turntable mixing, to disco, house, rave, drum & bass.

Want to construct correctly-rounded reciprocal square roots out of rounded operations (like GPU shaders)? Here's a couple of algorithms with error analysis.

Error analysis on the CORDIC 2D vector length algorithm, showing how many iterations and guard bits are needed to generate an N-bit faithfully rounded result. Handy. Oh, and you can use a KCM operator to multiply by K.
