High Risk/High Reward: Stories from my Life in Technology

Dogs Are the Best Invention Ever


Listen Later

A new episode may March 17, 2021 with typical potpourri of inter-tangled subjects including software development, music, quantum physics, and dogs. At the end it includes a new song composed, performed, and produced within one hour same day. This is another electronica song built 100% from digital samples, loops, and synthesizers/software instruments. I make a provocative comment that I tease throughout the episode of why software and music are THE SAME THING. I connect the dots to this but still leave it somewhat as a thought experiment.

"Dogs are the best invention ever" is a comment I made to my partner Sue that day. I clarify that software and music are the same thing, but dogs, software and music are not all the same thing. I think if you listen to the episode and stick with it the full hour you should come away agreeing with my proclamation that "software and music are the same thing."

Image for this episode is just a picture of me at my desk taken by Mac's Photo Booth app this week. I like this picture because it replaced all the ridiculous pictures I was using a profile pics of me in a suit and tie. I happen to love to get dressed up and had two weddings (Sue's son Spencer and his wife Bri, and my daughter Jackie and her husband Drew). This new photo is a more accurate picture of what I typically look like. However, even in this pic I am a bit more dressed up than my typical Levis and rock and roll t-shirts.
