Hello, Magnificent Subscribers. Here's issue #24 of Studio Notes���quick bits delivered to you each Friday.

Here's this week's Rice Tip���: Elevate your plain, white rice by shaking some Everything Bagel Seasoning on it. This may be my new favorite food-related hack ever, and it just sort of happened. EBS (as those in-the-know call it) was sitting there on the counter next to a pot of steamed basmati rice. Garlic, onion, salt, pepper, poppy, sesame���all of these things taste great on rice. And yes, Japan has always known this in the form of their wonderful furikake topping.

I don't know how Love's 1967 album, Forever Changes, slipped me by. Pretty special psychedelic rock with orchestral-ish arrangements. I'm kind of blown away by this one that I overlooked for so long. Music is such a never-ending well of inspiration. Oh, and their logo by Elektra Records art director, William S. Harvey, is pretty great as well.

My love for Atari stems from forever wanting a 2600 when I was a kid���but never getting one. Friends' houses that had Atari 2600s always seemed magical, uber rich, and futuristic. I made up for it later and now have an original 2600 sitting on a shelf above my monitor as I type this. Anyhow, flash forward to today and Atari, the company, has been rebooted and they are pumping out some incredible hardware. Here's an example: A playable, Atari 2600 wristwatch. They're also remaking brand new 2600 and 7800 systems as well as other merch, games, etc. Whoever is spearheading this revival deserves massive kudos.

Photographer Ian Ruhter made an impossibly simple camera out of 2 Coke cans and a piece of photographic enlarging paper, then took a 5-day exposure of a time-lapsed landscape. The resulting print is pretty spectacular for the equipment involved. 

We started doing ���WIP Wednesdays��� in the Secret Type Club Slack (you should join us) and this week I shared a hexnut I created from the outer shape of the SimpleBits logo's cube. I'm probably not going to swap this as a new logo, but I do like how simple it is, and the tie-in with making, building, and assembling. We'll see what happens with it.
