Always looking for something new for my playlists... off to Ukraine for this one; this just feels like a warm summer embrace; nice workout/work tune, too...

Kaskade awesomeness... been a while since I heard that one, thanks!

Absolutely the best of M83!

I post some of my more thoughtful/significant posts to my writers, bloggers and various hobby groups in other social media... including my Facebook feed. I know the pieces get read but I can't think of

To be honest, I doubt we will ever experience "mass adoption" here... BUT, this community (and its tribes, like POB, LEO and others) definitely has to potential to be home to maybe 5-10 million

The thing about usability is that it's easy for those who have used something for a really long time to develop a sort of cognitive myopia in which they sincerely believe that what they are creating is
