New release
I missed #MusiciansDay - so a day late here is my new release called "Painkiller".
The basics of this track were recorded from my hospital bed while recovering from major surgery. At the time I was on a cocktail of painkillers - hence the title. The track reflects my mental state at the time, coming in and out of consciousness.
There is one major theme that runs through the track - I couldn't get this out of my head - but it's fed through a variety of effects and distortion.
I had to do some mastering on the track as it was a bit of a sonic mess but hey what do you expect being high on painkillers?
What you hear is an OPZ providing the base track and Glo providing all the effects and distortion, recorded onto a Zoom H1 recorder - as I said all from the hospital bed.
Links to Bandcamp and Soundcloud are here (as well as streaming sites):

There is also an accompanying video on MakerTube and YouTube (see links)

Tonight I received an email that was a straight up offer to pay me to publish papers without peer review in the journal I edit. (I forwarded it to the appropriate ACM person, who I assume will forward it to lawyers.)
I knew this stuff happens at obscure junk journals (if you're an academic and don't ever read Retraction Watch, you should), and occasionally in special issues of otherwise serious journals. But somehow it never occurred to me that someone would even *try* to do it with a well known reputable journal, and I'm kind of shocked by how blatant the attempt was.

This is a composite #photo called 'Wait For Me!'
Walking through this Finnish #Lapland swamp in the middle of winter was a joy. A beautiful landscape dotted with new saplings that looked a lot like old cartoon characters.
So I decided at the time that I would try to combine some of these characters together to tell more of a story and also celebrate their oddness.

So this is my first post - more to follow.
