he recent turmoil in the market takes me back to 2008 and the subsequent excellent book, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

I decided to finally watch the movie based on the book.   It is actually worth a watch.

Using a baritone guitar, Rick Beato does one of his typical but fascinating analysis of this James Bond Theme that uses a baritone guitar for the melody.

Very useful video on how to use a flanger to emulate a number of other pedals on your board.   I have to have a Boss BF-3 so I was able to drop chorus and Phaser off my board to simplify the layout.

With the release of the film "Oppenheimer", I remembered a book I read back in 1995.  "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes.  


It was a dense, incredibly interesting and engrossing book as titled.   It started with a gripping account of Leo Szilard's realization of how a bomb of incredible power could be realized from nuclear fission. 

The stoplight changed to green. Szilard stepped off the curb. As he crossed the street time cracked open before him and he saw a way to the future, death into the world and all our woe, the shape of things to come.
I remembered it was such a "good read" that I just finished rereading it.   I'm glad I did as I realized that my memory of reading the book was a jumble of a few books from the "Sloan Technology Series".    Although Amazon was founded in 1994, this was back before I found it and used the bibliographies from good books to find other good reads.   This lead me to a number of great books from the sloan technology series...  "The Invention that Changed the World", "Crystal Fire", "The Tube",  "Dream Reaper",  "Insisting on the Impossible" and "The One Best Way".
 
I seemed to have lost track of the series and just realized it is still going strong at sloan.org.   I recommend perusing it for a number of good reads.

By the way,  I also recommend "The General and the Genius" for a more balanced understanding of the Manhattan Project.   General Leslie R. Groves was an equally important figure in creating and driving that program...

This is an old one hour episode of the Sirius XM radio show "Success Without Stress" that I stumbled on.    It is hosted by Bob Roth and is essentially Jerry Seinfeld discussing TM (Transcendental Meditation) and its impact on his life.    I highly recommend that you watch the entire episode as Jerry touches on many things that may resonate with you.    They did for me.  

I am a "reformed" practitioner.  What does this mean?  I learned it back in 2019 and gradually fell off as I was feeling great and got busy. I recently got back into the practice and am very glad I did.  Reach out to me directly if you have any questions.

If you are a professional, you learn how and why your tools and environment works.
Then you can leverage them to be as efficient and effective as possible!
