travbrack··on Rachmaninoff – Little Red Riding Hood [video]
I know how to read sheet music but I'm using his video on gymnopedie no 1 to learn how a pro plays. The fingering isn't obvious to me since I'm a beginner and I'm not taking lessons. It actually helps a lot.

Reminds me of a dramatized GUI from CSI or a hacking sequence in a movie.

travbrack··on Personal Kanban 101

I'd be curious to know how many planes could crash every year and still produce a lower death toll than auto crashes.
