BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) Passion-driven risk and plucky altruism.
That’s the thesis behind “Reckless Saint,” a budding venture into vintage music, stereo equipment and ephemera with a retail storefront that aims to empower the local music scene.
Helmed by Scott McCormick, a local musician who plays the guitar, sings, writes songs, and for whom music “has been a passion my whole life,” the store opened April 2 in downtown Bloomington.
“A reckless saint is someone who is trying to influence the world around them for good, and that often takes a little bit of boldness to do that,” McCormick, 61, told me during a recent visit.

It was always expected after Microsoft acquired the software code repository GitHub that corporate interests would come first, not the interests of security researchers.
Last week, the software giant
called for feedback on our policy around security research, malware, and exploits on the platform so that the security community can collaborate on GitHub under a clearer set of terms. We want to be more clear about our expectations for keeping GitHub, and the various package registries that call GitHub home, a safe community .
Vinyl is back, baby! Well, sort of. It is alive and kicking, and that’s more than can be said for quite some time. In fact, you may well have purchased a vinyl record or received one as a gift. And if you’re new to the format, you’re holding on to something with a long connection to music history.
