It’s a great way to turn your commute into a college course or a pleasurable escape. Tech When you need to play songs at work, or at home for that matter, I hope you’re using tech to…

It’s time for the Friday 5! I hope you’ve had a great week. What I’m Listening To This fun bluegrass version of The Way You Make Me Feel Tech Tool When I need to record decent-sounding drums at work, I use the Roland Octapad SPD-30.

Then I flip it over and write down just one of those…

Hi team, Thanks for reading today. Here is your Friday 5 - have a great weekend! What I’m Reading Modern Man in Search of a Soul by Carl Jung Fascinating Story The Last da Vinci - In 2005, a painting was picked up at an estate sale that had some interesting features.
