  • I have the bigger brother, the Expert, as my main driver for the last 2 years. Brilliant trackball, ruined all other trackballs and mice for me. They might seem cheaply made, but it’s actually very durable. I’ve had it with me while traveling, just loose in my suitcase, never an issue. The only thing that broke over the years was the one I least suspected: the ball itself. Fell to the ground once and its shell just shattered. Was easily replaced by a cheap generic one though.











  • How Music Works by David Byrne. It was recommended to me by a colleague when asked about good resources on learning more about music.

    I’m only in chapter 3, so far it’s been interesting. About how music has adapted since the introduction of recordings, about the shifting perceptions, not only in music but also showmanship, size of venues, choice of instruments. The current chapter is about the different recording media and their impact on the music.

    All very interesting, although I do hope it will soon delve deeper into the nitty gritty: notes and intervals, progressions, and all the things I’m still totally unaware of.
