Some days my brain just gets in the way, sharing some stuff here along the way, to feed my blog and your curiosity !

i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

[red3blog]

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

Ok this is crazy. Of course voice is also nothing more than a tone on a certain level, but it’s not literally voice you get back here - midi isn’t capable of that... Listen to it!

Always funny, and makes a damn good point as well. Just watch the movie and you'll understand what 'native advertising' means. And why I'm starting to hate 'advertising' more and more, including the once that don't make it that bloody obvious; like content marketeers and the likes...

There has never been a better time with more opportunities, more openings, lower barriers, higher benefit/risk ratios, better returns, greater upside, than now.

do it now. Don’t wait for permission to make something that’s interesting or amusing to you. Just do it now. Don’t wait. Find a story idea, start making it, give yourself a deadline, show it to people who’ll give you notes to make it better. Don’t wait till you’re older, or in some better job than you have now. Don’t wait for anything. Don’t wait till some magical story idea drops into your lap. That’s not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it’ll show up. Begin now. Be a fucking soldier about it and be tough.

Yesterday was utter crap. Hoping for better weather tomorrow; mom and steph dad coming for their first Berlin trip :-)

People start listening to the way you tell the story and not the content.

Having a great story, told well, is not going to necessarily mean the other person is going to listen though. Maybe it’s not the right time, or the right person, or there’s something interesting on their phone

Other people are going to find interesting what you find interesting. If you don’t find it interesting, then nobody else will either.

The way we humans work, is that first we have to like you, or trust you, before we’re going to listen to your clever idea. We want to see you’re human before we trust you enough to fully engage with what you’re saying.

Talk it out. When it comes to humans, there’s no other way. You have to talk things out. Sometimes it will take years. For the right people, that time is worthwhile. The unsaid will go unsolved.

The greatest reflection of your priorities is your time. Whatever you say about what matters to you, the true test is where you place your time. So if you say your priorities are your partner or your kids or your family or your health, that statement will only be true if your calendar reflects it.

Self-control is a finite resource. You can only ask so much of yourself each day. You’ll snap or warp or splinter if you ask too much. You have a limited capacity to direct yourself a certain way. It’s worth considering where that directive capacity goes every day.

Ship something. Don’t forget the value of making something, even the small stuff. A letter, a vegetable garden, a great recipe. No matter how insignificant. Making something helps remove the rust.

I can only imagine what this technology will (finally!) bring us the next 3 years. When we're able to incorporate any kind of easy navigation for example through virtual worlds and creating enough engaging (although games are fun, realism isn't there yet) content, the future is there. Personally I hope this is the next step on a communications scale; making work from home (or for people with handicaps) a lot easier and more comforting. The whole 'matrix' schemes people are coming up with I'm not scared of; we were attached to our TV's for hours just a decade ago; it's smart phones/screens now and in five years we'll enjoy a VR instead. It's evolution; and with change comes resistance. But thankfully that resistance is getting shorter (though more noticeable) these days :-)
