New discussion: projects & more!

How about a new topic. What projects are you working on currently - musical or nonmusical? What’s currently taking up your time? And what one song are you listening to the most right now? :smile:

I am sewing a skirt, practicing my solos for our SPBGMA band songs a lot, and writing chapter 10 of my book. And the song I’m playing the most right now is “They’re Gone” by The Lindsey Family (album My Town).

Great topic!

I’m taking a course in Digital Marketing, a Udemy course in HTML & CSS, and about to start more in graphic design and typography.
I’m also trying to further refine my process for content creation and am going to switch to DaVinci Resolve for my next video project. Premiere has been good, but I have definitely have had some reliability issues and apparently, Resolve is better in that aspect and several others. We shall see :slightly_smiling_face:

As far as musicality, I’m probably practicing a different thing each day… one thing I’m looking forward to exploring is the use of spread triads across the guitar fretboard.

In a very good way…


That’s one I’ve been listening to this week after my dad mentioned it.
This and last month though, I’d be remiss not to mention I’ve been going through a New Grass Revival phase:

Incidentally, I can almost hear NGR doing that Eric Johnson song in their idiosyncratic, driving-yet-nostalgic style!

I was gonna post what I’ve been doing but it’s way too boring now that I think about it…

I now feel ridiculously unproductive and unintelligent.

All these dudes younger than me be getting a girl and I don’t even know a girl… I’m so behind. Just kidding, that’s awesome.

So have I, it started when I first heard them and it hasn’t ended :joy:

It can’t be. Exaggerate it and sound dramatic. Gunnar could help…

Staying busy with my Amazon shop and trying to figure out how to screen print :joy:. Practicing for SPBGMA and lots of random exercises and songs. I’ve been listening to “Money (Will Not Save You)” by Junior Sisk.

@LorenDB I’ll happily hear! Developing Linux or a rocket to the moon? :slight_smile:

It is indeed a rocket to the moon, or rather to the Mun:


My brave kerbonauts are heading to rendezvous with my Munar gateway at this very moment. (The pictured burn is still in progress!)

What is it seriously? An app or game?

Kerbal Space Program! (Which is a game, yes.)

:wink: It looks exactly like “real” space photos I’ve seen. The exact same CGI!

Umm… no, it’s definitely not as realistic as real life.

But hey, let’s not get too argumentative here.

I did HTML and CSS for several years and actually got some certifications in it. Probably back in 2014 or so. It’s been a long time since I wrote any code. I need to pull it back out.

I thought it was going to be self-explanatory… :joy:
