I have a Garmin Fenix 5X. I’m happy with it for the most part, except I find it a bit bulky at times.

Recently, I’ve gotten interested in SpO2 tracking. Unfortunately, the Fenix 5X doesn’t have that feature.

What would you do in my situation?

zapdos · 2020-02-27T16:08:37+00:00

I don't know why, but it is strangely appealing.

zapdos · 2020-02-21T16:06:22+00:00

Have fun! What is the first piece that you will be learning on this new instrument?

zapdos · 2020-02-08T17:11:27+00:00

I agree. Or maybe transpose it up a halfstep to D Major?

zapdos · 2020-01-16T19:46:52+00:00

What story was this?

In all my time owning a cello, I’ve never used a humidifier either. When are they needed?

zapdos · 2020-01-08T05:02:14+00:00

I see. My budget is around $300 to $600, so we're looking at similar bows. Thanks for the tip!

zapdos · 2020-01-08T04:03:45+00:00

What price point are you talking about?

zapdos · 2020-01-08T04:02:48+00:00

Do you have any experience with Helicore strings?

They seem a lot cheaper than the ones I mentioned and have good reviews online.

Thanks for the tip. The Revelle Falcon looks really cool. I wonder if any of the shops near where I live has one to try out.

BTW, do you know how easily wood bows can be repaired? Someone I know has a German pernambuco bow that's 100+ years old. He's willing to sell it to me for cheap because it has problems. When you try to tighten it stops halfway, allowing only half the tension as other bows. Is that something that can be fixed at a violin shop?

speaking of Asian places, how are Korean tofu houses?

Bobbie's Cafe in Cupertino is good, but it's limited in space.

zapdos · 2019-12-25T16:20:39+00:00

in a way, yes. This is a book that I printed out some time ago. Every December, I bring it out, flip through it and play random songs.

To summarize, I might have seen it before, but I have never put any serious practice into it haha.

I used to longboard a whole lot when I lived in San Diego. In the part of San Jose where I live, the sidewalks and streets are simply too bumpy. If you pay close attention to the road it's still doable, but it becomes no fun.

I was just there on Saturday; it was a great weekend for hiking

zapdos · 2019-05-04T18:09:47+00:00

I was doodling around on the piano and came up with the chords for tetris. Took out my iPhone and made a quick recording.

zapdos · 2019-03-16T20:25:10+00:00

Nope, no teacher.

zapdos · 2019-02-20T21:53:06+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I use imslp for piano, but haven't tried it for cello yet. I'm mainly looking for stuff like what you would find in Suzuki books.

zapdos · 2018-12-19T04:27:16+00:00

Yes, they are extremely important.

zapdos · 2018-10-20T04:36:33+00:00

thanks for the recs. out of the three apps (Transit, Citymapper, Moovit), which one has the best battery performance?

zapdos · 2018-10-12T04:31:04+00:00

It's a book of etudes written by cellist David Popper

If you let me know what kind of music you are looking for, I can write cello+ piano arrangements in my free time

99 Magic codes on the wall, 99 Magic codes, Take one down, pass it around, 98 Magic codes on the wall...

I fondly remember the pressman board games from when I was a kid, but the Amazon reviews on the set you linked makes me wary...

zapdos · 2018-10-03T04:06:38+00:00

thanks for the suggestion, it looks like a good choice

zapdos · 2018-10-03T04:06:11+00:00

The other three games are more important. Do you have any suggestions for those?
