What drives someone to publish 600+ issues of a Postgres newsletter for over a decade? In Episode 28 of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, Peter Cooper—creator of Postgres Weekly—shares how his days of rustic programming and QBASIC fanzines on Usenet led to a newsletter empire that now reaches nearly half a million developers each week. We dig into the BBC's "big tent" editorial influence, an accidental business model that just worked, and the perils of "temporary" hacks. Plus: spam filters, a Photoshop addiction, and one very cheesy story (dairy-free).Links mentioned in this episode:Newsletter: Postgres WeeklyCooperpress: List of newslettersNewsletter: Latest issue of Postgres Weekly on Jun 19, 2025Newsletter: Postgres Weekly issue with horrible graphicNewsletter: Very first issue of Postgres Weekly on Mar 13, 2013Newsletter: Ruby Weekly, the first Cooperpress newsletterBook: Beginning Ruby Third Edition, by Peter CooperPodcast episode: How I got started as a developer (& in Postgres) with David RowleyFeed reader: FeedbinGitHub repo: feedbin/feedbinFeed reader: FeederEmail testing software: LitmusGitHub repo: MGML markup language for emailPaper: The Design of PostgresGitHub repo: PGRX for building Postgres extensions in RustPodcast news: Podnews.net for daily briefings about podcastsWikipedia page: BBC MicroWikipedia page: ZX SpectrumCal invite: LIVE recording of Ep29 of Talking Postgres to happen on Wed Jul 9, 2025

Adobe mejora tu cámara:  App gratuita con inteligencia artificial para iPhone con IA, controles manuales y fotos RAW de alta calidad   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Adobe acaba de presentar una app experimental que transforma el modo en que usamos la cámara del iPhone. Se llama Project Indigo, y ya está disponible gratis en la App Store. Detrás del desarrollo están los mismos ingenieros que crearon la cámara de los teléfonos Pixel de Google. La promesa es clara: ofrecer una experiencia de captura con aspecto profesional, basada en inteligencia artificial, procesamiento por ráfagas y controles manuales. ¿Puede una app gratuita reemplazar la cámara nativa del iPhone y convertirse en la favorita de quienes aman la fotografía móvil?  Project Indigo no toma una sola foto: toma hasta 32 imágenes en ráfaga, las alinea y las fusiona para crear una sola más precisa, con menos ruido, mejor rango dinámico y más detalle. Lo más impresionante es que lo hace con un enfoque natural, evitando los efectos exagerados que muchos usuarios detestan. Está disponible desde el iPhone 12 Pro y en todos los modelos del iPhone 14 en adelante, aunque Adobe recomienda usarlo con un iPhone 15 Pro o superior. No necesitas tener cuenta de Adobe ni iniciar sesión, lo cual la hace ideal para experimentar sin compromiso. Además, es compatible con fotos RAW y JPEG. Y si usas Lightroom, puedes enviar tus fotos directamente desde Indigo para editarlas.  Pero no todo es perfecto: Pierdes funciones nativas como Live Photos, modo retrato y estilos fotográficos.   El cerebro detrás de Indigo es Marc Levoy, quien dejó Google en 2020 para unirse a Adobe con el objetivo de crear una “app de cámara universal”. Junto a él está Florian Kainz, también ex Google y experto en procesamiento de imagen. Ambos fueron clave en los avances del Pixel, que convirtió a la cámara de Google en un referente. Con Indigo buscan ir más allá: crear fotos que parezcan tomadas con cámaras réflex, sin dejar de aprovechar el poder del iPhone. Uno de sus logros técnicos es que el obturador no tiene retardo: la app ya está grabando imágenes RAW mientras estás encuadrando, así que cuando presionas el botón, ya tiene lista la mejor toma. Ideal para capturar momentos exactos como un perro en movimiento o una pelota entrando en el arco.  Muchos fotógrafos no confían en las cámaras del celular porque el software tiende a exagerar la imagen. Colores saturados, sombras aplastadas, reflejos molestos y detalles perdidos por la compresión digital. Apple ha hecho mejoras, pero su app de cámara sigue sin ofrecer controles manuales completos. Tampoco permite disparar con exposición prolongada real ni ajustar el número de imágenes por ráfaga. Project Indigo responde a esa necesidad con un enfoque híbrido: mantiene la sencillez del teléfono, pero entrega resultados dignos de una cámara avanzada. En lugar de aplicar filtros o IA que "inventan" detalles, Indigo capta datos reales desde el sensor y los combina para mejorar la nitidez. Incluso permite usar el movimiento natural de la mano como técnica para captar más perspectiva y obtener fotos más detalladas, algo conocido como "multi-frame super-resolution".  Project Indigo ya puede descargarse gratis y viene con funciones únicas que la distinguen de otras apps. Por ejemplo, permite hacer fotos en condiciones de luz muy baja sin necesidad de trípode, gracias a la combinación de 32 cuadros tomados en segundos. También incluye un botón dedicado para fotos de larga exposición, que simula el efecto de obturación prolongada en cámaras réflex: perfecto para capturar cascadas, luces en movimiento o trazos de luz en la noche. Otra función prometedora es la eliminación de reflejos con IA, ideal para fotos detrás de vitrinas o cristales. Y si te gusta editar, las fotos en RAW pueden abrirse directamente en Lightroom con compatibilidad total con los perfiles de color de Adobe. Aunque aún no tiene modo retrato ni video, ya se están desarrollando esas funciones, junto con bracketing de exposición y enfoque. La app también actúa como plataforma de pruebas para futuras funciones de Photoshop y Lightroom. Además, Adobe ya confirmó que la versión para Android “va a llegar seguro”.  Las imágenes tomadas con Indigo pueden verse en calidad HDR en una galería oficial alojada en Adobe Lightroom. Eso sí: la visualización óptima requiere una pantalla compatible y usar Google Chrome. Safari puede no mostrar correctamente los colores ni los brillos. Otra novedad técnica es el demosaico avanzado, que reconstruye los colores a partir del sensor de forma más precisa que otras apps. Indigo también ajusta el tono y el color basándose en lo que hay en la escena: sabe cuándo hay una persona en primer plano o cuándo estás fotografiando un cielo al atardecer. En las pruebas realizadas por medios como PetaPixel y CNET, se destacó que el zoom digital de Indigo supera al del iPhone al no inventar píxeles, sino construir la imagen con varias tomas desde ángulos apenas distintos. Además, la app permite ajustar la cantidad de cuadros por ráfaga, algo que no se ve en otras herramientas similares. Según Adobe, este es solo el comienzo: planean integrar más funciones creativas y fortalecer la app con la ayuda de los comentarios de quienes ya están probándola.  Project Indigo es una app gratuita de Adobe que convierte tu iPhone en una cámara avanzada con controles manuales, procesamiento inteligente y compatibilidad con RAW. Está pensada para quienes aman la fotografía, pero también para curiosos que quieran probar una nueva forma de tomar fotos. Descárgala, prueba sus funciones y cuéntanos tu experiencia.

A.I. monetization will be in focus for Adobe's after-hour earnings, according to Sam Vadas. She says the company needs to adapt with the evolving tech as competitors offer similar A.I. software for a fraction of the price. Joe Tigay will keep an eye on Photoshop revenue, which he sees as the company's legacy money maker. Joe also offers an example options trade for Adobe.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Hey there, hero!Ever been asked to upload a perfectly square image as your profile pic?Sure you have, if you've created your profile on, say, ACX.com.The problem is that you're usually working from a portrait-shaped headshot, that is usually taller than it is wide…definitely NOT square. So, you have to crop a section of just your face.And if you don't get it just right, ACX will force the image to be square, and your face will get squished.No one wants a squished face.Here's how to crop a perfectly square piece of your portrait-sized headshots: use the SHIFT key while making your selection, and your selected area will be constrained to be square. Then, save the cropped section as your square profile pic.I demo it in this episode (watch the video version on VOHeroes to see it).And it works for any app or website where you're working with images: Photoshop, Canva, Preview…whatever.Questions?

Hoy exploramos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial está transformando nuestra forma de planificar, capturar y editar nuestras fotografías.    >   TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de mi oferta formativa. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas, respetando todas las medidas de seguridad, echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas. Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL EN FOTOGRAFÍA DE PAISAJES En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo nos adentramos en un tema que genera tanto entusiasmo como controversia: el papel de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la Fotografía de Paisaje. Analizamos cómo esta tecnología está transformando todo el proceso fotográfico, desde la planificación hasta el revelado, y debatimos sobre sus ventajas, riesgos y su impacto ético y creativo. PUNTOS CLAVE TRATADOS EN EL EPISODIO IA como herramienta, no como amenaza Coincidimos en que la IA no es un enemigo, sino un recurso que, bien utilizado, puede facilitar muchas tareas fotográficas. El valor sigue estando en nuestra mirada personal y en la intención con la que usamos las herramientas. Presencia de la IA en el equipo fotográfico Muchas cámaras, móviles y drones ya integran funciones como el enfoque al ojo, la detección de escenas o el seguimiento de sujetos, todas basadas en IA. Lo mismo sucede con programas de edición como Lightroom o Photoshop, que integran funciones inteligentes para máscaras, reducción de ruido o mejoras automáticas. Planificación con ayuda de IA Herramientas como PhotoPills o Viewfinder aprovechan algoritmos inteligentes para facilitar la planificación de localizaciones, amaneceres, puestas de sol o condiciones meteorológicas, mejorando así nuestras salidas fotográficas. Edición y selección asistida Discutimos sobre el uso de IA para automatizar procesos como la selección de imágenes, el reescalado, la eliminación de ruido o el retoque automático. Si bien pueden ahorrar tiempo, ambos coincidimos en que preferimos tener control sobre el proceso creativo, especialmente en la edición final. Riesgos y ética Hablamos de temas sensibles como el reemplazo de cielos, la generación de imágenes completas mediante IA o la pérdida de estilo personal si se delega demasiado en estas herramientas. El debate ético no gira tanto en torno a la IA en sí, sino al uso que hacemos de ella. ¿Hasta qué punto sigue siendo nuestra fotografía si la genera o edita una IA? Consejos para integrar la IA sin perder la visión personal Utilizar la IA como apoyo, no como sustituto. Mantener el control creativo en cada fase del proceso. Establecer límites personales (por ejemplo, no cambiar cielos, no generar paisajes inexistentes). Formarse para comprender cómo funciona la IA y sacarle el máximo provecho sin renunciar a nuestra voz fotográfica. Mirada al futuro Exploramos qué puede venir: edición por voz o texto, recomendaciones compositivas automáticas, simulación de estaciones, generación de imágenes cada vez más realistas… Todo apunta a que la IA seguirá evolucionando y formando parte del flujo fotográfico, por lo que será clave saber usarla con criterio. CONCLUSIONES La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha llegado para quedarse y en fotografía de paisaje puede ser una gran aliada si la usamos con intención y criterio. No sustituye nuestra sensibilidad ni nuestra creatividad: son herramientas que pueden ayudarnos a llegar más lejos, pero la visión sigue siendo nuestra.

C'est une arrivée que beaucoup attendaient : Photoshop est désormais disponible sur Android. Après un premier lancement sur iOS en février, Adobe déploie enfin sa célèbre application de retouche sur le Play Store. Et bonne nouvelle : elle est gratuite pendant toute la phase de bêta. Mais attention, pas question ici de transposer l'usine à gaz de la version desktop. L'idée, c'est plutôt de proposer une version allégée mais puissante, pensée pour une utilisation tactile. Un outil de création nomade, capable d'aller bien au-delà des applis de retouche simplifiées qu'on connaît trop bien.Les calques sont là, les masques aussi, ainsi que tous les indispensables : outils de sélection, fusion, réglages avancés. Les utilisateurs retrouvent le pinceau de correction, le tampon de duplication, ou encore la sélection par pression — baptisée « Tap Select » — qui permet de remplacer en un geste un élément de l'image. Le tout, dans une interface adaptée aux écrans de smartphone. Mais ce qui change vraiment la donne, c'est l'intelligence artificielle embarquée. Le moteur Firefly d'Adobe permet un remplissage génératif, autrement dit : ajouter ou modifier une image à partir d'un simple texte. Une chaise ici, un nuage là, et voilà. De quoi créer sans perdre de temps dans les menus.Enfin, Photoshop sur Android s'accompagne d'un accès à des ressources gratuites issues d'Adobe Stock, pour enrichir ses projets en mobilité. L'application nécessite Android 11 minimum et 6 Go de RAM (8 recommandés). Et Adobe promet déjà des mises à jour régulières, nourries par les retours des utilisateurs. En bref, Photoshop sur Android, ce n'est plus un rêve, c'est une version solide, prometteuse, et surtout accessible dès maintenant… tant que la bêta est ouverte. Hébergé par Acast.

This week, we weaponize hallucinations, traumatize NPCs, and gaslight a guard dog—with illusions! Sure! Here's a funny and detailed set of show notes and key takeaways for the RPGBOT.Podcast episode titled: Show Notes: In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the gang goes full David Copperfield on your tabletop—except instead of sawing a lady in half, we're casting Phantasmal Force to convince the BBEG his pants are full of bees. Join Tyler, Ash, and Randall as they pull back the illusory curtain on deception magic and reveal the crunchy mechanics, chaotic strategies, and absolute tomfoolery you can unleash with illusion spells. Ever wonder how to make your players paranoid, your monsters confused, or your DM cry? Illusions are the Swiss Army knife of arcane nonsense, and this episode dives deep into the art of trickery.

Spoiler: it involves a lot of arguing about the Investigation check. Key Takeaways: Illusions Are a Vibe, Not a Science: If it makes the GM squint at the rules, you're doing it right. "The Mind Believes It, So the Body Reacts": Phantasmal Force can't do real damage, but the psychic trauma of imaginary bees is very real. Silent Image Is the MVP: It's like Photoshop, but for breaking dungeon puzzles. Major Image = Major Problems: When in doubt, summon a dragon and walk away like it was someone else's idea. Smarter Creatures Are More Likely to Disbelieve... Or Overthink: That wizard didn't fail his save, he just really wanted the dragon to be real. Your Dog Is Meta-Gaming: If Fido's making Investigation checks, it's time to ask who's really running the campaign.

On this week's edition of ‘Amy's on It' she reviews the finale of ‘Tt' now streaming on Hulu. Courtney Donohoe from Bloomberg Media joins the show to give a business and stock market update.

This week, I'm recording late in the lounge with a glass of Irish whiskey, reflecting on the usual mix of chaos and joy in a photographer's life. Some good news first: the Mastering Portrait Photography podcast has landed in the https://podcast.feedspot.com/photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/portrait_photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/uk_photography_podcasts/   I share stories from a beautiful small wedding at Le Manoir, talk about how AI is both transforming and disrupting our industry (and how I'm using it to write useful code for the studio), and confess to completely changing my Instagram strategy so it actually makes me smile—feel free to check it out @paulwilkinsonphotography. The highlight? Racing through three days of corporate headshots in London, where the CEO arrives and my flash promptly refuses to fire—just classic timing. A reminder: knowing your kit inside-out and keeping calm is what clients are really paying for. If you fancy joining me in Oxford for a day of portraits, stories, and good company, there's still a spot on our next Location Portraits Workshop. https://masteringportraitphotography.com/resource/mastering-portrait-photography-on-location-in-oxford-9th-june-2025/ As ever: trust yourself, enjoy the process, and be kind to yourself. Cheers!   Transcript   Introduction and Setting the Scene Well, it's been a while since I've recorded a podcast quite like this, but I'm sitting in our lounge. It's late. I've got a glass of Irish whiskey for a change, which is just beautiful. All of my whiskeys have been bought by someone and I love that. I love sitting and thinking of someone, a family member or a friend. 'cause I enjoy, well, the smell and the taste. There's some, I dunno why I like whiskey so much. Um, I just do, there's something, I think it's 'cause my mom and dad liked it. And possibly because of that, I find there's something really magical about the smell and the taste and the color and just, I don't know, something that sat in a barrel for a decade or more just appeals to me, and it has been another busy week. It's Wednesday as I record this, and yet it feels like it's been the end of a week. Um, it's just, it always feels like I'm playing catch up, but I think that's just the nature of the job. When I worked at Accenture all of those years ago, I quite liked the project mentality. Although we were busy, we ramped up and up and up and up until eventually we got to the delivery date. And then of course, once it was delivered, you've got a week or two off all of that pressure built and built and built. It was to an end point. And I don't think, as a photographer, I felt like that since I left that world now it's just a constant churn of to-do lists, retouching shoots, being energized, even things like recording this podcast. You have to be really in the mood to do it, and I'm not always. There have been plenty of times when I've sat down to record something and even a large glass of 15-year-old single molt doesn't do it. However, I am here, it is late. So forgive me if I sort of tumble over some of my words, but I really wanted to get, um, an episode out. I'm Paul and this is the Mastering Portrait Photography

Burton Rast shares his unconventional journey from punk rock kid in Chicago to design leader at Google and acclaimed photographer. Starting with pirated software on hotel computers, Burton built his first portfolio while working the night desk, teaching himself HTML, Flash, and Photoshop through stolen moments between guests. His story weaves through the dotcom era, agency burnout, and his transformative years at IDEO where he first experienced imposter syndrome among formally educated designers.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Burton reveals how the death of his closest friend in 2016 unconsciously transformed his photography from vibrant color work to the stark black-and-white aesthetic that would define his artistic identity. This realization came six years later while preparing a lecture, highlighting how grief can reshape creative expression in ways we don't immediately recognize.Burton discusses the evolution from "creating art" to "creating content," the ethical implications of AI training on artists' work, and his current role advising creative AI startups. The episode explores themes of addiction, obsession, creative authenticity, and the importance of personal narrative in an increasingly homogenized digital landscape.Key TakeawaysEmbrace the generalist identity - Having diverse skills across design, code, and photography creates unique career opportunities and perspectivesCreate without permission - The punk ethos of just doing it, learning through necessity, and not waiting for formal approval or educationChannel obsession productively - Replacing destructive addictions with creative obsessions can become a powerful force for building skills and career momentumYour trauma becomes your art - Personal hardships and loss often unconsciously shape artistic expression in profound and meaningful waysStories differentiate us - In a world of similar portfolios and AI-generated content, personal narrative becomes the ultimate differentiatorImposter syndrome hits when you level up - Feeling inadequate often signals you're in the right room with people who can teach youValue comes from effort - Things that require no effort (like AI-generated content) are inherently difficult to value personally and professionallyLanguage shapes perception - The shift from calling work "art" to "content" systematically devalues creative expression and should be resistedGrief changes creative output - Major life events can unconsciously alter artistic style and voice, sometimes creating signature workPay it forward - Success comes with responsibility to mentor and open doors for the next generation of creative professionals Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to choose creativity, rather than simply waiting for inspiration to strike. We open with the fascinating origin story of Photoshop—how a grad student's simple problem-solving evolved, through deliberate choices and refinement, into a revolutionary creative tool. This story sets the stage for this episode's exploration of how intentional actions, not just spontaneous bursts, drive meaningful creative outcomes.We're joined by Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, senior research scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the new book, The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas into Action. Zorana shares insights from her 25 years of creativity research, focusing especially on the overlooked emotional aspects of creative work. We discuss why creativity is about continuous, intentional choices—both big and small—that help us make progress, manage our energy, and use our emotions as information.Together, we unpack actionable strategies to deliberately foster creativity in high-pressure environments, the science behind emotional rhythms and productivity, and how tools like generative AI fit into the evolving landscape of creative work. Zorana also offers a unique perspective on matching your creative tasks to your emotional state and daily energy rhythms.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Intentional Creativity Over Inspiration: Waiting for flashes of inspiration is risky—real creative progress comes from deliberate, systematic practices and choices.Emotions as Informational Tools: Emotions aren't just happening to us—they're signals we can decode and use to drive creative action and problem solving.Creative Rhythm Is Personal: Everyone's daily emotional and energy cycles are different. Understanding and aligning your creative tasks to these rhythms leads to better results.Build Your Creative Infrastructure: Sustainable creativity requires supportive systems—idea capture, regular review, and collaborative feedback structures are essential.AI Is a Tool, Not a Replacement: Generative AI can assist with certain creative tasks, but the essential human skill of “problem finding”—asking the right questions—remains at the heart of true creativity.Get weekly articles to your inbox at BraveFocusedBrilliant.com.Mentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!

In this episode, I dig into a question that's always lurking in the back of a portrait photographer's mind – what really makes light flattering? It's a term we all use, but what does it actually mean? Is it just about soft shadows and low contrast, or is it more about the connection between the subject and the photographer? I talk through this while reflecting on a busy week – from a stunning wedding at Head Saw House to a corporate shoot for Barclays, and a spontaneous portrait session that reminded me why I love this job. I also share some thoughts on the updated Mastering Portrait Photography book, which hits shelves in September, complete with fresh images and a whole new chapter on AI post-production. If you've ever wondered what makes a light truly flattering – and why it's about more than just the gear – this episode is for you. And as always, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself. Cheers P.

I started it with a trip down to Devon with the in-laws. One great thing about being married to Sarah, whose family are from Plymouth, there are many great things about being married to Sarah. But one of the ones, in terms of geography, at least, is her family still lived down in Plymouth, in Devon, by the sea. So it was absolutely glorious to spend a couple of days down there walking the dog, drinking a beer, enjoying the sunshine, and the sun is still shining here right now. And on that happy note, I'm Paul. I'm very much looking forward to a barbecue, and this is the Mastering Portrait

We take it back... Maybe AI images are better than we thought?

The Impact of AI on the Amazon Community In this engaging and thought-provoking episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan is joined by creative agency veteran Dorian Gorski for a candid conversation about the impact of AI on the creative industry. What starts as a warm-up for Dorian's in-depth interview next week quickly transforms into an illuminating discussion on technology, artistry, and adaptation. ⚡ AI's Disruption in Design and Creativity Dorian opens up about the initial panic felt when AI tools began generating high-quality visuals. “I saw the output and thought, damn, I might be out of a job.” But rather than resisting, Dorian and his agency chose to embrace the wave, recognizing parallels with past revolutions like the advent of Photoshop or the shift from hand-drawing to digital. Danny draws powerful comparisons with the music industry: Musicians once dismissed electronic music as "not real." Then, those same musicians feared the internet (LimeWire) stealing their art. Now, the creators born in that era are pushing back against AI-generated tracks.

Damian Kulash of OK Go discusses his evolution from punk music fan, working with Dischord records, and creating boundary-pushing music, vinyl packaging and viral videos Topics Include: New album "And The Adjacent Possible" available for streaming now. Discussion about physical media's role in OK Go's output. OK Go primarily known for videos that "live in the ether." Damian was into physical record packaging during college years. First record was Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," bought at Tower Records. Young Damian damaged the record trying to scratch like DJ. Later played with Herbie Hancock at Obama's 50th birthday party. Musical journey from hip-hop through Prince, Beatles, Led Zeppelin. DC punk scene was influential, with bands playing in cafeterias. Started Level Records at age 15,with funding from Dischord Records. Ian MacKaye lent teenager Damian money to start label. Level Records produced 7-inches and compilation CDs for friends' bands. College made running a record label difficult for Damian. Studied art semiotics at Brown University. Worked as NPR radio engineer and Photoshop retoucher after college. Indifferent to Napster's rise during OK Go's early days. Band finances operated like "roadrunner off the cliff" cartoon. Discussion about gift economy model working for the band. Belief that making things you love matters most, not success. Music sometimes gets overshadowed by video's visual impact. Videos gave OK Go longevity beyond typical radio-hit bands. New album theme explores Stuart Kaufman's "adjacent possible" concept. OK Go doesn't have unified sound; band is "like a mixtape." Treadmill video was originally made for "nerdiest fans" only. Videos aim to create real events that connect with viewers. Physical pressings of OK Go albums are costly in secondary market. New vinyl features elaborate pop-up sphere in custom packaging. Hidden track on second album deliberately blocked copy-protection software. Record label "Paracadute" means parachute in Italian. Ten-year album gap wasn't intentional; life and pandemic happened. Directed "The Beanie Bubble" film with his wife for Apple. Film directing different from making music videos; less adrenaline-driven. Video production typically takes 3-6 months from concept to completion. Some video ideas abandoned when technology made them commonplace.
