Audio-Related Tweaks:

Poor logic and occasionally taking my Writing (BS) degree off the wall and staring at it, longingly...

Music Preferences:

Even awful music is great if it invokes a memory. Baby Krea and D.R.A.M are fun wastes of space and voltage.

Also, try BeaTunes for OSX (I refuse to write "macOS") sometime; it's a great utility for people who love music, and data. Audirvana is super dope, too.

Gear-Fi:

Omega and Tockr watche

10.5.9 Leopard was the last great Mac operating system. 10.6.8 is okay...
The sound of a Dual/Quad G5 Power Mac will always bring a smile to my face, and a warm front to my room.
