Marian says that when the internet first became popular, she predicted that IP and the internet "were going to explode." She thus felt a need to start developing technology that would "transform the internet". And she did exactly that; She developed the fundamentals for what is now called VOIP.

Today marks the 64th anniversary of "Kind of Blue."

As the title suggests, Kind of Blue was an exercise not only in primarily blues structures, but also in generating an abiding melancholy through the album’s five tracks—an emotional cohesion unlike any other title in Davis’ catalog. Listen Here: https://www.milesdavis.com/albums/kind-of-blue/
