Today is Wendy Carlos's 80th birthday!

She is a pioneer of electronic music, best known for composing the score of TRON (1982) and for her ground-breaking album, "Switched-On Bach" (1968.) In 1978, she came out publicly as a transgender woman, one of the few public figures to do so at the time.

If you enjoy electronic music today, you can thank Wendy Carlos!

My last "permanent" job was in 2008, so yeah.

I feel like it should be a bigger deal in the U.S. press that long before Uber was news, 10-20 national temp agencies were already owned by only 4-5 corporations, at most.

A former teacher of mine (now a much more experienced colleague, I like to think) had a nasty experience this week, in which he found out a piece he wrote had been removed from the re-release of a CD.
