It's been way to long since we wrote a #golang article for our blog (gopherguides.com/articles). Who has some ideas for us on what to write about? We always include code samples and background for the articles, so let us know needs more reference material out there!

It's official, I've decided to create a computer programming club for my local high school. I'm creating curriculum using the GOTH stack. It will all be open source for any school to use. I'll post updates on how it goes.. .brand new territory for me! #golang.

So long England, and thanks for all the fish! (and this weird quarter tone guitar)

While in Liverpool on this trip I picked up the oddest guitar: A 29 fret 1/4 tone guitar by @Revelation_UK. I have no idea how to play it or when I’ll use it, but I couldn’t resist the oddity of it. Can’t wait to get it back to the studio to play with it.

In rehearsal today the guitar player asked me if we were playing too loudly because I was screaming my vocals at the end of the song. Which, usually, means the singer can’t hear themselves over the band. My response, however, was “that’s just how I sing”. 🥺

Doing the best @GrumpyOldRick impression I can, while working on the next record. For a guitar player, having two keyboards on the go is definitely next level stuff. 😁 #recording

How do you get feedback from only 2 of the strings on a 12 string guitar? You stick gaffer tape across the rest. #recording

Does anyone know a charitable organization in the Boston area that might interested in a large donation of audio cables? I have a lot of 8CH snakes (XLR, TRS, DSUB). I also have optical cables (ADAT, MADI, word clock). As well as other cables. I want them to go to a good home.
