my thoughts on music nfts

i was perhaps one of the few people that used this extensively. this is my t9.

small apartment at the time and i couldn’t use a mic, so this had to do.

many many late nights playing bf2 with random people on reddit. they got so annoyed at me that they all pitched in to buy me…

We are looking to grow our engineering team at Oscillator Inc.

Strong preference to years of solidity…
