When your subconscious realizes the @NASA #Webb telescope captured the exact same area of space as the "It's a Wonderful Life" intro, you drop everything and make this happen. #ItsAWonderfulLife #OhDaddy #Webb
@NASA Here's the original!
@NASA @AMC_TV @AMCPlus @ParamountPics @ParamountMovies @paramountplus @ParamountIRL Same area of space captured 75 years apart. ImageImage

I think a lot of NFT x Music folks only see the potential positives of a campaign and may not be considering a lot of the drawbacks it may form in the fan / artist dynamic...
This head5.io campaign is still sitting around halfway minted and the vibe on the @discord can be strange sometimes.
@discord Some users (fans?) are pondering if the mint was a failure because it didn't sellout immediately. I believe their definition of failure is connected to the perceived worth of their NFT.

Here's my latest London travel scenarios. My lady and I are triple 💉 and are currently required to take three tests: 48hr Pre-departure, Day 2 arrival (isolate until negative,) and Fit to fly 24 hrs before return to US.
Scenario 1: We test negative on all tests, enjoy the UK, and return home (New Orleans) in time for Christmas.
Scenario 2: We test positive on our pre-departure flight and shift trip until after Christmas.

Here's the case study for yesterday's @FutureIslands "As Long As You Are" global album premiere web app! This one is full of interesting solutions. #alayalisteningparty medium.com/@leemartin/how…
For one, I share how @maxmind, @mapbox, and @wikidata were used to not only locate where users were but also define a dynamic visitor threshold for each location. (Used in the unlocking of the album stream.)
I also share a bit of my @goserverless, @dynamodb, @dynamodb stream, and @pusher setup which was used to both store and share all the visitor and chat message data in real-time. Special props to @pusher for allowing us to dynamically spin up location specific channels on the fly.

Alright, brand new web app for the lovely fellows @FutureIslands and their incredible new release "As Long As You Are." Invite people close to you to unlock a stream of the new record and listen together. aslongasyouare.com #alayalisteningparty
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to create a frictionless global album premiere so the only requirement of the app is to simply visit the link. Upon arrival, we use @maxmind to turn your ip address into a pair of coordinates.
Those coordinates are then used to query the @Mapbox Geocoding API so we know where in the world you are and in what region (state, province, prefecture.)
