🎶 Can't believe I'd never come across Sonic Pi before today particularly since I'd already come across a similar, but far less powerful text based music tracker a few years ago.
🏀 Blanchette and Meehan assemble reflections on the Zags' twenty year NCAA Tournament run as only they can- just wish it was longer!
Deckset 2 looks really nice. I generally don't have a reason to make presentations, but being able to easily put together a nice looking one using only markdown makes me want to find one.
🎙 Explored Anchor and its new iOS App a bit today. Really like what they're doing, but there doesn't appear to be show notes support in their podcast hosting which is annoying.
🎙 Stephen Hackett is hosting a new tech flash briefing for Relay.fm called Subnet. The most interesting part to me is that they've set up an Amazon Alexa skill for it and it's done in partnership with Anchor, the new podcasting platform.
