I can imagine someone pretending to be the Nobel Committee and making a call to the president telling him he’s won’t the peace prize. They create some fake media and stage a ceremony. The world would go along with it to stop the toddler inflicting more damage with his petulant tantrum. Just an idea.

A quick reminder of what the whole #ACA tax credit fuss looks like visually.

‘I’m a composer. Am I staring extinction in the face?’: classical music and AI

Technology is radically reshaping how we make music. As I dug deeper into this for a radio 3 documentary I began to wonder if creative organisations are right to be so upbeat about AI. Are we riding the wave or will the wave destroy us?

I am incredibly happy with this mouse pad sold to me by Don Slepian

A mouse pad that has a photo of Don Slepian at a keyboard and it says, among other things: “Don Slepian’s Classical Music of the Future”

Thanks to Soundtoys for presenting the legendary Don Slepian. I loved his impish enthusiasm, his total freedom as an improviser, and his conviction that nothing will ever replace being together in a room. He also had golden nuggets of wisdom like, when there’s egg on your face, lick it off

Only a few days ago it was 80F which was great but also weird. Today we are back to normal autumn with my thermometer reading 39 this morning. I am so excited for ice skating season. BRING ON THE COLD

Jane Goodall was one of my heros. I will never read enough about her.

“You’ve just got to be calm and tell stories, and get people to change from within.”

Jane Goodall’s Second-Greatest Talent

She knew how to wield her fame to protect the animals she loved.

It’s almost open enrolment and the uncertainty about next year is causing me a little stress. My current plan will cost $1,847 more per month without the ACA subsidies? 😬

Also, orchestra tickets at Place des Arts were $65 Canadian including fees. Such a little price to see a legend.
