But I don’t think I value it enough; I’m not grateful often enough for it. I just keep expecting it to be there as it has always been, and somehow not lose any quality. https://www.vidishathavale.com/blog/can-you-read-correctly monthly 0.5 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/aea9ef5f-204d-4fd0-a652-a03ef1642b10/bell+curve.png Adventures - Can You Read ‘Correctly’? - Make it stand out A simplistic view of how a sentence can be read. Too far at either extreme is unsuitable for the majority, and a reader is in service to the audience and the author. https://www.vidishathavale.com/blog/will-ai-replace-the-narrator monthly 0.5 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/14c6b5a7-dacd-4cac-b1de-913cbb1356db/VA8_1321.JPG Adventures - Will AI Replace The Narrator? - Make it stand out How soon will an AI voice be better than mine? Or is it already, and I just don’t know? This image is real. Read to the end for its story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/c4d285e5-b84a-46be-bf6e-2a49016f1876/VA8_1319.JPG Adventures - Will AI Replace The Narrator? - Make it stand out The reality of this cover image. The human story here cannot be known by an AI. Putting the camera on self timer and pointing it right. Going into a silly pose to get my face next to the monitor to line up with the background I arranged beforehand. It was harder to take this photo than generate it. But this was real, and it meant something to me, and is more satisfying than generating some random image that anyone could prompt for. https://www.vidishathavale.com/blog/08better-song-demos monthly 0.5 2026-03-13 https://www.vidishathavale.com/blog/07sounds-like-light monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/2ff75132-0461-4c89-9272-7c0246f0be47/IMG_20251110_133234.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? - Make it stand out How on earth did this form? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739500213-QVZDOCPCRRXDKI7QXG0Y/IMG_20251110_133234.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739406506-UHGBZEB2Y8WL2J3IYB99/IMG_20251110_133242.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739406730-GS7EYZ16YJXXF3BFF6X4/IMG_20251110_133248.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739409325-Y81JSZBCGXDAT2TNO8L5/IMG_20251110_133329.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739409822-5JUIW57U8F6T9JUT0BH4/IMG_20251110_133343.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1763739652182-A7JUS0GKGAYA27HHKERF/IMG_20251110_133352.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/d73dfe23-f292-4704-91cb-f477022902a0/IMG_20251110_133446.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? - Make it stand out The origin revealed… a step forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/24c1329a-6ae7-41e3-9712-f6d619b21207/Aperture-in-photography.jpg Adventures - Sounds like Light? - Make it stand out Excellent aperture diagram by Richard Adams: https://silentpeakphoto.com/beginner-photography/what-is-aperture-in-photography/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/5cdfad56-7ae3-451e-ad8b-b253cbe8d42e/light+straight+lines.png Adventures - Sounds like Light? - Make it stand out Straight lines!

But surely… the numbers seem too good to be true? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/1be237c6-4c6b-4096-8a0b-dd51424bc90d/IMG_20251108_014232.jpg Adventures - Cosy-fficiency - Make it stand out The original bulb, running at 15W. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/34013a4b-51ce-4fcf-a51d-a82c0c312ad5/IMG_20251108_014416.jpg Adventures - Cosy-fficiency - Make it stand out The direct LED replacement, not only brighter, but also dimmable and a mere 1.1W!

It should be a fair bit brighter, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/61cbde35-348f-4ded-a511-7dbfb62be9aa/IMG_20251103_152028.jpg Adventures - Cosy-fficiency - Make it stand out But the new bulb had to fit through this hole, and then into the cavern within, which had been designed for a much smaller bulb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/0d9ec391-77c6-4f3f-916e-b733f1408f7c/IMG_20251103_172540.jpg Adventures - Cosy-fficiency - Make it stand out You can actually see the little circles which indicate the pointy end of the drillbit I used - many attempts made to excavate where the top of the new bulb would actually go! Only revealed after vacuum cleaning out the inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/7027f4d3-844c-404c-ae1d-04127d6e7596/IMG_20251106_010835.jpg Adventures - Cosy-fficiency - Make it stand out Get that piano playing some epic music because we have victory! https://www.vidishathavale.com/blog/05studioupdate monthly 0.5 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67054fe6cd3ddd622324acdb/e720cb3f-feb6-4cb2-bfe9-b9cf08cbd002/Screenshot+2025-11-08+at+03.04.47.png Adventures - Postcards from Paradise - Make it stand out This is the studio in full recording mode.
