Wa No Wa - s/t LP

A cult work that has been talked about by some music lovers in Japan for many years is now officially available for the first time.

Shocking, ethereal and mysterious sounds

A performance of single-note percussion instruments, “Choir Chime" by twelve users of the Yamato Kogen Taiyo-no-ie, a support facility for the disabled in Yamazoe Village, Nara Prefecture. The fresh and clear tones played randomly, note by note, eventually transformed into beautiful music as they were strung together. I wonder if there is any other music that is so pure and innocent. This work is the ultimate improvised ambient that penetrates deep into the listener's subconscious.

Erinnerung aus der #Vergangenheit:

Vor der Zeit des #Internet gab es das System mit #Mailbox die dann teilweise in Netzen wie #MausNet oder #FidoNet untereinander kommuniziert hatten. Als #Point hatte man im Regelfall ein #Pointprogramm (bei mir war das #CrossPoint | ich habe es geliebt) und holte mit einem #Modem (erst 2400er dann 9600 Baud, die ganz flotten hatten etwas mit 16k) meist einmal am Tag seine Nachrichten ab (Flatrate etc. gab es nicht)

Es gab damals schon Gruppen so das man sich ungestört zu Themenbereichen unterhalten konnte.

Es gab aber auch damals schon das Problem, das so manch #Kommunikation dann aus den Ruder lief. Irgendwann gab es dann die geniale Einrichtung einer Gruppe in der man sich frei von der Leber weg beschimpfen und beleidigen konnte. Alle Beiträge die an diese Gruppe gesendet wurden, wurden automatisch vom System anonymisiert, so das niemand wusste wer steckt denn nun wirklich hinter welcher Schimpftriade. Es gab nur eine Regel: Es gibt keine Regel.

Manchmal frage ich mich, warum gibt es das nicht im #Fediverse. Eine Gruppe in der die Leute ihre Wut abbauen können ...

5 Real Life Lessons from Crosspoint the Movie

We can’t always win in life, so they say. So, when a string of unfortunate events pile up and bring a washed up actor and a construction businessman to their knees, they decide to take on the highly dangerous mission of capturing a violent serial killer for a huge sum of money that could change their lives. Crosspoint a film written and directed by Japan-based Filipino artist Donie Ordiales which…

RIP Miss Lemon from Agatha Christie's Poirot, you would have loved Wikipedia.

So, some of y'all may have seen my Knox RS16x16 composite video router before in photos. It's the backbone of my home AV plant.

It has two methods of controlling it by default: the front panel keypad with LED crosspoint to view the status, and cereal serial console.

I noticed this empty socket of an uncommon size, and an extra BNC connection marked "remote video readout", but I couldn't find any specifics about it. The manual from 25+ years ago makes a vague reference to it, and how it syncs off of whatever is feeding input #1 to generate video. It was an available option in the earliest days of the product, and then it wasn't mentioned again.

Recently I took a guess about it being a Fujitsu MB88303 television display controller, intended to provide on-screen display information for a TV (for like, function menus n' stuff). It had the same size, and looked to be self-contained, so maybe that was the part... so I bought one. I checked continuity on a few pins compared to the datasheet, and installed it.

I provided a video source to sync on input 1, and... voila! It provides a status display of how the crosspoints are routed! Victory!

And that's how I upgraded my main composite video router 25+ years after the company expected anyone to bother.

US-backed Israeli terrorists are opening gunfire on displaced Palestinians waiting to return home to north Gaza.

Crowds of Palestinians have been gathering near the Netzarim corridor, a crosspoint separating north and south Gaza created by Israeli terrorists.

A blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.

This is exactly the kind of shit that has been happening before October 7.

What was Kane wearing when he first showed up

When he first appeared he was probably wearing something reminiscent of tactical gear/armor/something protective along those lines, because he had to physically travel through the Crosspoints to get to the human universe! Normally in the Inferno Dominion (before he essentially became Dion's family's guard dog) he would've been wearing slightly less ornate version of Dion's more formal clothes (however you think those might look lol)

Well on the topic of Modern AUs I have a modern-ish AU for Vevora and Aicantar where they are grad students in a 1960s Tamriel setting

She has previously completed an MFA focusing on New Temple religious art and now she's completing a PhD in art history, focusing on Dibellan depictions and the chose Markarth due to the Temple and the fact the Reach is a crosspoint for many different cultures in its history/types of people.

He is, of course, doing a PhD in Dwemer studies with a focus on technology, kind of like if you could combine engineering and history. Calcelmo is a esteemed faculty member so some people think he got in on purely nepotism but although this helped, he did have to prove himself and did his other degrees at different institutions.

I think they'd meet where he's giving a talk in a library common space and Vevora stops to listen while passing through because she lives in Markarth, should probably learn something about the Dwemer. She asks him about the role of art in Dwemer culture and he sort of says it didn't really exist. Girly takes issue with this, gives him a fake nice reply but stays after to intellectually interrogate him. Demanding to see his lab and pointing out the clear artistic principles in the visual design of automatons. Aicantar concedes that maybe he wasn't looking for it and assumed it was not there, apprentices the fresh eyes she brings and then they go from there <3
