I find this very interesting. As a podcast producer, I do not, generally, use a lot of music behind speech. That might be because I am a stick-in-the-mud old fart who learned that craft, such as it is, at a well-known broadcaster. Also, it is really difficult, especially when there is no-one I can ask to do it for me. Listening to track after track after track to find the right one is so time-consuming. But maybe that’s a waste of time? You seem to be suggesting that I just bung some smooth jazz under everything.

Thomas P.M. Barnett - Blog - As a Writer, What Would It Be Worth to You to Be Able to Instantly Mine Everything You’ve Ever Written?
Thomas PM Barnett seems to be building a combination personal search engine and Zettelkasten called InfoSquirrel and plans to sell it as a service. I doubt I will ever be able to afford it, but it does look interesting and I certainly wish him well.
I had a whole extra hour this morning to work on tomorrow's Eat This Newsletter, with small family farms, food and GHGs, Sumerian legends, palm oil parasitism, a cookbook writer's memoirs and a bunch of loose ends. To make sure you get it, subscribe.

I love this idea:
Oct 30 (the number 30 in the octal number base) is the same as Dec 24 (the number 24 in the decimal number base)
Thank you Björn Wärmedal
