Goodbye, AV
For the first time in ten years, I am trying something new for work. I had my last day as an audio visual technician on December 22, and as of today I started working as a security analyst. I’m not entirely sure where this path will take me, but it does feel good to be uncomfortable again. The last two times I felt this way: December 2013 when I started professional […]

Max Volume has a running list of Faircamp sites – look for me on there – […]

Download your Bandcamp Collection
That is a recommendation, not a directive. But with all the enshittification going on with digital services and social media recently, I thought it was prudent that I went through and grabbed all the stuff I previously paid for, for a number of reasons:
I like having it saved locally in the event I lose internet access
Plex has a pretty good music player for […]

A Faircamp Guide for Lazy People, by Lazy People
Or, how I learned to stop using Bandcamp and start embracing free and open music distribution tools.
This post is going to serve as a somewhat quick and dirty guide for tech-literate music producers to spin up your own Faircamp site. For those of you not comfortable with the steps I’m about to outline, there are Faircamp hosting services […]

Hospital Lobby
Spotted in the lobby of our local hospital. Dr. Alexander seemed like a cool guy. I tend to think the early citizens of my town usually were upright folks. The plaque reads:
George Everett Alexander, M. D., was born and schooled in the East. He received his M.D. from Buffalo University in 1885.
He married Miss Arlene Harris in 1889. In 1892 he […]

The Autumn Swing in Colorado
Autumn has come to Colorado, and with it, the rollercoaster ride of temperatures and weather. Two weekends ago we had snow, a decent amount: I measured around half a foot in places. Then we went back up to the 70s and set records – of course, nary a mention of global warming on the local news. And now, back to frigid temps and weather, something of a rain/snow mix […]

Kenosha Peak
This past weekend, I hiked in Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness and summited a “12er” – Kenosha Peak. It was a really swell time through a beautiful pine forest, alongside a creek (which ended up swelling as the sun warmed up snow fields at higher altitudes and increased runoff), up to above the tree line with 360 degree views of various Colorado […]

Learning COBOL
COBOL is such a funky language. It feels like the closest I’ll ever get to interacting with a computer via punch cards. I know it’s not that antiquated, but the language is something like 60 years old. I’ve been doing exercism.org (this link points to my public profile there). It’s a useful way to practice a bunch of different exercises in the […]

A Free Studio: Music Production Tools for Zero Cost
Need to start with music or audio production and have no clue where to begin? This is probably the most comprehensive resource I’ve found for free tools. It’s called A Free Studio, and it’s a list of free software organized neatly between DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), instruments, effects plugins, and more.

Digital Texture/Sheen/Grit
Yet another think-piece blog entry on hyper-realistic simulations which we may or may not be stuck inside. How gritty can the simulation get?

Microtonal music – an alternative to the twelve tone chromatic scale we use heavily in western music.

The PA state historical society has designated the Haines Shoe House as a historically significant place in Pennsylvania. This is something I’ve driven by multiple times, and my wife grew up in the area and has visited it multiple times. Per the article: The Shoe House was built in 1948 along the iconic Lincoln Highway, the nation’s first improved road for automobiles from New York City to San Francisco. The building is an exceptional example of programmatic architecture and was designed by York architect Frederick Rempp. The shoe-shaped structure was built by self-made millionaire Mahlon N. Haines, the “Shoe Wizard,” to advertise his shoe business in York. I think the other interesting point in that blurb is that Lincoln Highway is the first improved road for automobiles in the United States. Today it runs from New York to California under a variety of different route designations.

I’m not entirely certain when I was turned onto this phrase, but it has stuck with me for quite some time. It’s been sitting as a mobile bookmark for me for at least as long as I’ve owned an iPhone, so maybe going back to 2015-ish. Hapax legomenon – it seems so exotic, and definitely hard to pronounce in casual speech.
Hapax legomenon: a word or an expression that occurs only once within a context: either in the written record of an entire language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. (Definition courtesy of Wikipedia)
I think I may have been alerted to this phrase when doing a nostalgic look at Googlewhacking – trying to find a search result on google that only returns one result. Oddly enough, I do remember the first time hearing (and trying) the sport – it was the night before starting high school, and some friends and I learned about it and ended up finding a few.
I always thought the term would be a good name for a musical side-project, or an album title, but it looks like someone beat me to it.
