Introducing Octave!

Octave is a simple app I wrote for myself to help me with learning improv and jazz pieces. It's really quick for looking up ledger lines, sight-reading, or double checking various chords in a key.

It's free in the App Store :)

This is fascinating tech, and probably needs to be experienced to really get the wow factor. Interesting to see companies innovate in different ways to make VR/AR-realm tech more accessible and less unwieldy (e.g. no headset required).

My kids found an old magic 8 ball and are using it to make decisions. The longer I watch, the more I wonder whether they’re onto something.

@pwilke @MLBFanSupport @MLB @MLBTV @AppleTV Do you have Homepods? I found a solution here that worked for me: https://t.co/GQaVsFKZwo this is apparently a known bug with the Mlbtv app in tvOS 14.4. Setting the default audio for the appletv back to the tv speakers allows the games to load.

A janitor making $4/hour walked into a Fortune 500 company boardroom. Shaking, he took a seat opposite the CEO.

"So I had an idea..." he nervously began.

Years later, that idea would become an iconic consumer brand and make him worth ~$20M.

Here's how that meeting went 🧶👇
