by Dennis Crouch and Timothy Knight On February 21, 2024, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Warner Chappell Music v. Nealy, which deals with a circuit split over the availability of back-damages in copyright infringement cases. Specifically, the Court is examining whether copyright plaintiffs are barred from recovering damages for acts of infringement that occurred more than three years before filing suit, even if the claims …

Joe Henderson & Kenny Drew Trio - Molde Jazz Festival, Norway, August 1968Before last week’s Yo La Tengo show in Boulder, I stumbled into the great Paradise Found record store (none other than Ira the K stumbled in right after me, actually) for a quick browse. Paradise Found has lots of great vinyl, but recently I’ve been taking advantage of their extremely nicely priced CDs. And I wasn’t disappointed this …

This might be the biggest month for true crime TV since Best Evidence began in 2019.

I love a good pop of color every now and then. Acid green neckties, yellow socks, and violet jeans have all found their way into my wardrobe over the years.… The post Ubiq Dual Series 01 appeared first on The Time Bum.

It kept coming up. Someone would be talking about the app and then shake their head at the name. Sometimes us. Sometimes one of our venture backers. Sometimes a customer, with a question mark on the end: “You’re calling it Slack?” (This was often followed by "Does that make you... Slackers?")Slack was the original codename Stewart used when pitching the idea — the title page of the pitch deck, in …

It’s been about four months since I joined the product design team at Retool and I’ve noticed something in my work click forward. Just a slight nudge, nothing that anyone else would spot. That’s mostly because progress is never straightforward: there’s baby steps and then one day you notice enormous baby thuds of progress. I still make all sorts of mistakes though! I don’t notice obvious visual design problems in …

You know how the secret to getting rich in a gold rush is to sell shovels? Well, I’m going to be ready when this alpha male plan takes off. I am going to have to ramp up production by a lot.

Ushoran, Mortarch of Delusion's very own law upholder has a fascinating back story. Grand Justice Gormayne wasn't always a superb orator whose upholding words can will loyal subjects to enact justice against transgressors of the court. No, he was something much worse...

All images via Internet Archive If you’re a mathematician who specializes in geometry, you might be called a geometer. No other term could so neatly describe the meticulous focus of German scholar Max Brückner (1860-1934), who was lauded during his lifetime for his remarkable collection of polyhedra models. In 1900, Brückner collected many of his specimens into the book Vielecke und Vielflache, Theorie und Geschichte, or “Polygons and Polyhedra, Theory …

I’m always on the lookout for local materials I can use to build stick chairs. Elm is my favorite wood, but it can be difficult to find for purchase. Last month Shea Alexander of Alexander Bros. gave me a couple boards of honey locust to try out for a chair seat. It looks a lot like elm, with green undertones and slightly shimmering grain. After surfacing it, I took a …

Here’s a full disclaimer upfront: This isn’t something I’ve come up with. Jeffery Way from Laracasts has come up with this technique in one of the videos and I’m just sharing it here for my reference. Essentially, the video explains how you can create a dynamic progress bar purely using conic gradients in CSS. Yep! No JavaScript is needed at all. The end result will look something like this. As …

As we have discussed last year, Ninjago – Dream Team is a crossover episode of LEGO DreamZzz and LEGO Ninjago. In the story, Ninjago is actually a television show in DreamZzz, just as it is in real life, and Ninjago is portrayed as a location within the Waking World, rather than a Dream Realm in […]

As of this month, I’ve been working remotely for ten years. My overall opinion is that it is good and I like it! Here are some random thoughts:It’s just really cool to have worked with people from so many different cities and countries.Honestly, I don’t particularly care about cost savings or productivity. Sometimes remote work is slower and more expensive… and it’s still worth doing.I don’t want to wear shoes …

If you know Mike Oldfield for one thing it’s the track from his debut album that was used to great effect in a movie you’re probably aware of. If you follow him further, he’s done a lot of work. His 70s music is probably best described as new age, but there’s a definite prog rock influence to it (it got on my list off a YT video of “25 Perfect …

The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is …
