As ephemeral as a total eclipse of the sun, another epi of the podcast shines like a pre-1969 quarter found in your tip jar. That is to say, our fans have upgraded us from “not very good” to “average.”

properVolume is a little app that sits in your menu bar, providing instant access to various sound settings and preferences—you can pick input and output devices, change volume levels precisely with visual metering, set the volume on inactive devices, &c..

In short, properVOLUME will save you a lot of futzing around in the Sound pane in System Preferences.

It’s available in the Mac App Store and developer pjv has kindly provided a batch of promo codes for One Thing Well readers. Get ‘em while they’re hot:

Bond’s BB Gun

David Hurn recalls that when he was commissioned to shoot the Bond portraits required for the publicity campaign for the second Bond film, it was decided that the main image in the poster and advertising campaign should be a strong portrait of Sean Connery as Bond 007 with his Walther pistol. When Connery arrived at the studio for the shoot, it was discovered that no one had brought the gun needed for the shoot (a Walther PPK). By chance the photographer practiced air pistol target shooting as a hobby and had the air pistol he used for this purpose (also a Walther). Without telling Sean or the other representatives of United Artists the photographer decided that “we would use my pistol for the pictures and presumed that should anyone have doubts on their seeing the name Walther on the gun, they would be reassured.” The long barrel of the air-pistol was to be removed by airbrushing during the designing of the actual poster. This was never done.

The value of Klout just skyrocketed.

1. “Roommate-buddy-friend beef” sounds like an artisanal filet of meat for cannibals.

New career path.

I present to you the (hopefully) unintentionally nightmarish drawing my youngest made over a year ago. Obviously, it’s a keeper.

I did not betray Mr. Kurtz—it was ordered I should never betray him—it was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice. I was anxious to deal with this shadow by myself alone—and to this day I don’t know why I was so jealous of sharing with anyone the peculiar blackness of that experience.

We keep creeping closer to what I envisioned. Heavily edited, this episode is by far the shortest. Also: Name the interlude musician!
