I'm super annoyed that I need to use the software balance to tweak the left channel down about 5% to balance my headphones because I'm not sure what the hell in the audio chain is causing annoying channel imbalance

oh FML... so I think like 80% of the problem is from a slightly loose connection in... THE DPDT toggle switch I'm using to route audio in my switcher box... wiggling it around got it to connect and the balance is much closer...

This thursday for Counting Stuff, last minute eclipse travel planning and the handful of tools I found that helped me pick out where I'll probably be driving to and hopefully not get blocked by a mountain or tree or somethinghttps://www.counting-stuff.com/last-minute-eclipse-math-o/

This week on Counting Stuff, inspired by the earthquake that was felt in NYC two weeks ago, I got curious ouw the USGS collected and used the "did you feel it?" data. So I went digging through papers for details https://www.counting-stuff.com/earthquakes-bringing-in-tons-of-survey-data/

@f_dion Kobo just announced(?) a full suite of color e-readers a few weeks ago. people seem to say the colors are a bit faded so it's a bit of tradeoff. But I generally love my B&w kobo libra h2O for reading books.
