Re: Resources Thread
Does anyone know how to contact the late Gary Shannon’s estate? He had a list (in-progress, sadly not completed before his passing) of derivation operations that I find useful, and others may too. I’d like to contact his next of kin to seek permission to expand on it and maybe publicly release it.

Re: Venting thread
Not only was my vacation a bust, I come back to ridiculous BS at work that, had I or my manager been in the office, wouldn’t have been an issue, but now it’s my problem and a black mark against me. It is taking a stupendous amount of self-control not to just quit right now, money and job search be d...

Re: Random Thread
Did anyone actually specify how tall Mr. Clean is? The text that came with those figures, perhaps? By that you could determine the height of Mr. Clean by measuring the height of the Mr. Clean action figure and multiplying by six...

Re: Happy things thread!
Band practice today went fantastic . My collaborator paid me a huge compliment: One of our WIPs ends with a vamped passage for the outro (for the recording it’s supposed to fade out) and I decided to go a little nuts with the ride cymbal, snare, and toms.
