For my fellow tech-heads who use something like speedtest.net, this has much more (and better) info. As a bonus, it's fun to watch.
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
Matters not if you call it prog, or math, or djent, or technical-whatever. There is a certain type of music lover whose brain will be tickled by this piece.
I'm one of them. Who knows, maybe you are, too?
Witness The Omnific with "Objets de Vertu"
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
"And When we fall we just dust it off you know we're ready to begin
Cuz Giving up is never good enough so we try and try again"
Let's hear it for the losers.
Code's eclectic ̶m̶u̶s̶i̶c̶ album pick of the day:
This is an album that just keeps getting better with more plays. The first time I heard it, I thought it was nice. Enjoyable even. But the more I listen to it, the more it gives back. Even the Renaissance-Faire-ish track 3, which I had initially decided was not my cup of mead.
Here's a sample track, but I recommend checking the entire album. Seriously. It's one of those rare gems.

Oh, I *love* SILENT RUNNING. Will keep an eye out for the familiar set pieces.
(And oh, Harlan Ellison. I feel like our best biopic of him barely scraped the surface. 😅 So many different ways to come at his strengths, his weaknesses, and his refusal to be pinned down in terms not his own.)
Sunday.
Amazing.

Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
A few years ago, I fell in love with a rock group from England that I'd never heard before. The album was called "The Seldom Seen Kid", and as I listened to it, over and over, I couldn't understand why Elbow was not FAR more famous here in the US. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I watched the full video for "Flying Dream 1"
For me, it is a stunning musical accomplishment. Listen to all of it.

Have to admit I cried with the news trump indicted for #jan6insurrection
Whether jail is part of the equation, having justice prevail is so restorative after years of frustration and doubt.
The wound of doubting our justice system was greater than trump’s treachery.
Mesmerizing.
