“Access is the medium” describes the shift from physical ownership of media (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.) to a digital world where the primary way to consume content is through access, typically via subscriptions or paywalls. Instead of purchasing individual pieces of media, users now gain temporary access to vast libraries of content, often behind paywalls or through streaming services. In this paradigm, access itself becomes the medium through which content is delivered and consumed, emphasizing convenience and immediacy over ownership.

The last meter
Quote
“The last meter” refers to the final connection between an audio device, such as a microphone, headphones, or speakers, and the larger sound system or network. Just as “the last mile” in telecommunications represents the crucial final stretch that delivers service to the end user, “the last meter” in audio engineering highlights the importance of the final cable or wire, which directly impacts the quality and reliability of the sound being transmitted. Despite its short length, this connection is critical for ensuring the integrity of the overall sound system.

Music Note Frequency Calculator With Cent Adjustment
A colleague posed a very interesting question:
“I am looking for any music/music math wizard help me figure this out. If I am moving the pitch of a song up by 50 cents (a quarter step?) What frequency is A instead of 440?”
Sounded like the kind of math challenge I like:
The answer is 452.893Hz
To test and confirm that it’s calculating properly, this is up 100 cents making G# 440
This is down 100 cents making A# 440
Here is a link to the excel file

Dave Adams did my a solid today. I needed some support cut to exactly 1.6 *12 plus 0.02 worth of “wiggle room” spaced over 12 modules. He has the tools and knows them too well! Thanks again Dave!
