Roland’s TR-1000 Rhythm Creator is the ultimate drum machine
It took way too long, but Roland finally caved and gave the people what they want: a proper analog successor to the iconic TR-808 drum machine.

AI assistants are having a main character moment. Within the last three years AI has become far more integrated into our lives than ever. They can write emails in seconds, summarize a 40-page PDF like it’s nothing and build a vacation itinerary that looks suspiciously like something your most Type A friend made at 2 a.m. They’re fast, confident, and…

It’s one of the first major kitchen devices I bought just as soon as I could afford one, and the appliance I thought I’d miss most in my nomadic vanlife pursuits.
