Interesting. “It’s counterintuitive—because more often than not, the technological solution is worse than the analog one—but washing dishes by hand actually uses around twice as much energy, and way more water, than the most efficient dishwashers on the market. And this tiny new dishwasher prototype uses even less water, and no electricity at all.

“The dishwasher is free from dependence on infrastructure,” says Israeli designer Chen Levin. Instead of plugging in, a hand crank on the side provides power for jets of water. A tablet made from sodium acetate heats the water up without electricity. The system takes only a minute to clean dishes, Levin says.”

Adding Chords to Single Note Lines – Part 2

In the first lesson I covered some ideas and advice on adding chords to a solo line. When you try to do this over a progression with more chords you need to take a few more things into account. I’ll try to demonstrate how I approach this and how you can practice towards this skill.

The weather didn’t cooperate.  One quick shot at the beginning of the eclipse through heavy clouds; later, the moon rose above the clouds, but the color was gone.
