  • A little groove box. Like the Roland T-8 or Novation Circuit.

    Few hundred bucks will get you a used one. Super fun to sit around and make your own simple beats and songs. No musical knowledge required!

    I’m a big proponent of modern affordable musical electronics. If you like it, it’s a fun little thing to do. If you love it, there is endless depth to pursue in many directions. No natural rhythm or understanding of melody needed. It’s fun to just sit and tweak knobs and notes until you like what comes out.

    I also recently discovered this website called “Strudel REPL” that let’s you code electronic music in your browser for free. Another fun way to check out the hobby without spending anything.













  • We have a local fast food chain called Good Times.

    I’d put their burger up against all other national fast food chains. I’m willing to bet, though there’s a litany of other local fast food chains all over the place that could compete. Part of the joy of traveling in the US, as far as I’m concerned.

    We just started getting In-N-Out locations here a few years ago, and it’s lovely for a cheap burger. But let’s not pretend it’s anywhere close to the best around. Plus their fries are so bad it’s shameful.

    Good Times’ Wild Fries are divine. And strangely for a fast food chain they have decent green chile for said fries.
