  This British YouTuber released a new song, recorded in his home, in which he played all the instruments and sang all the vocals. If only he had a band of musicians around him, he could go places and become successful. Be sure to check it out.

  I wrote and recorded this riff-based part a couple of months ago and thought of making it an instrumental track. But at the same time I’ve been writing a new song and eventually decided to use the riff from here for the new song. So I’m happy to post this recording, as it’s something that won’t get released after that. Now, time l to start producing this new song. I’m calling it “Spares”.

  We finished watching “The Queen Gambit”. Enjoyed it a lot. As a former chess player, in my elementary school years, there was a lot to remember, while watching it, about the world of chess, which was quite fun for me. Great acting and decor.

  Today, in the App Store: “Our Top 10 Strategy Games”. All 10 are “pay to win” kind of games with game currency. That’s not what strategy games are supposed to be. They are supposed to be equal opportunity to all so that the best strategist wins. Shame.

  There appears to be a change in macOS Big Sur betas related to the quarantine flags on files, and it affected my app Trickster. So I google “Big Sur Quarantine” and, of course, it was all related to COVID-19 quarantine in Big Sur region of California. Silly me.
