I've been learning a lot about my cultural heritage while my cousin is here. Turns out there's a whole section of Egypt (where my father is from) who are incredibly stubborn, highly value their dignity and are highly self reliant.

Kinda interesting.

Stuck the action camera on the bike for the ride to work this morning. The wide angle lense and the right shutter settings are already creating some great motion blur. I'm waiting for it to export on my phone to have a flick through it

Integrating the new 10" sub into the studio tm.

Can't wait.

So it'll be 2 x 7" main monitors, 2 x 8" sub + 1 x 10" sub.

Doesn't sound like much but it will be BONE CRUSHING. Relatively small room / studio so me and my sternum's resonant frequency are ready. 🙃

New sub is a presonus eris 10 :) For its size it's kinda impressive. Only weighs 17kgs compared to the ol' behringer 2092A which is 33kgs. Sounds way better and a bit easier on the back to move lol.

I think I saw someone steal a bike at the train station yesterday.

I walked up to the steps leading to the platform and past the bike rack where a guy was unlocking the lock. He looked up. He was struggling. He did it then rode away.

But that look at me. He didn't have a helmet. And it was 8 minutes since the last train. Takes 15 seconds to get to the bike racks.

I think he was just trying different keys until he found one that worked.

I can't prove it tho and what could I have done anyway. I was the only other person at the train station. I kinda feel bad for the bike owner.

Treat Review: Mars Bar Rice Crispy: If this was an actual slice, I'd be all over it. But as a Mars Bar, it kind of felt over complicating the Mars Bar and it felt messier. Quite tasty, might have again, but would prefer it as a little square on a bit of butchers paper...

Anyone had any fun treats lately they'd like to share?

I haven't been snacking lately but every now and again Aldi have Scorched Peanut Bites so I picked up a box for YL to give to her dad for father's day. He asked her where she got them from "Aldi. I knew you liked them so that's why I got them". She didn't even come into the shop with me 😂. Anyway they are really really good.

To be fair it was his birthday 2 weeks ago so she was all out of ideas.

In India iphones cost more than a basic car. It's outrageous

and yet, when I bought my first home pc it was really expensive. And a printer too. 1984 spent nearly 3,000 on the whole set up, in today's money that is 11,650. But for us it was an investment in a career .
