The Audio Blog of Steven Sirski

What is the excitement of travel preparation other than trying to finish everything in your fridge before you leave?

Did you know you can buy rights to music royalties? Apparently there are quite a few for sale, though in my glance through it, I didn’t recognize too many names, My Chemical Romance being one exception.

Financials, rights, media, included tracks, etc. Interesting

Didn’t know it was that easy.

Then there’s Flippa, a site where you can buy and sell businesses online. A look through says most would be a pass, but I’m sure you could start learning about the process.

Episode 41 in the works with a rough draft bounced. Hopefully I can get this done before departure!

Looking forward to Singapore, did you know there’s a Hershey’s Land there? I remember visiting it when I was there years ago.

Hip feeling good, stretching with an assisted pigeon whatever, so this is progress after all of these years.

Yesterday’s episode was rough! I was sooo tired!

Currently working my way through a 30-day Chinese speaking challenge: 1 minute per day.

EQ: so this is something I’ll be working with over the next little while to see if I can fix up that nasal-ness. Tweaked the 1260Hz and 11100Hz ranges, we’ll see how that sounds.

Dinner: chicken, broccoli, carrots, garlic in butter = fantastic!

Feeling better today, is it lack of sleep? Or the smog?

Steve, why don’t you have a TV show or vlog channel that’s edited without all of your breaths?
