## The Videos

A bit of self-promotion here, but I wanted to share what I have on my iPhone home screen going into 2022.

I get a very specific thrill from watching musicians walking through their Logic projects to show how they created a song. There's always so much more than I expect, and I'm just enthralled by it.

A Kickstarter seemed like a scam, so this guy tried to make it actually happen. The results are…well, you can just watch 😉

## The Tweets

*I'm still having issues with tweets displaying correctly in the email, so here are screenshots (click on an image to go to the tweet on Twitter). Still working on it!*
