For those of us who've been around tech for a bit (ARPANET anyone?) this might bring a smile(y) to your face:

There is a single line uttered in the final episode that is so delicious, so fourth-wall-breakingly wonderful and so chock full o' snark that my eyes popped and my jaw dropped when it was uttered. I had to rewind and hear it again.

Worth the wait.

It took me back to the days of BrainDead and The Good Fight.

Bonus dia!

Was listening to the excellent Vangelis album "Nocturne" today to destress while coding.

Happened to look up as this album art showed in Spotify.

What I wanna know is: who approved this art along with its huge error?

a cacophony of crescents
a multitude of menisci
a bounty of bows
a concourse of concavities
a horde of horns
a drove of demilunes

PSA: Most probably know this, but just in case: Most of the US will see at least a portion of tomorrow's annular eclipse. This can be beautiful, but it's NOT the same as a total eclipse. No matter where you are, even if in the direct path, this type of eclipse is not safe to look at with your naked eyes AT ANY POINT, even at maximum. Use appropriate filters designed for solar viewing or look indirectly (pinhole or other projected image on a screen or piece of paper).

mmmm.. brains. mmmmm.

It would be pretty hard to find another band that sounds this tight in a live setting. If they ever come to your area, and you dig this level of musicianship, get to it!

(Be sure check the funk change at 6:20-ish)

Side note: Why are so many YT videos out of sync (video <==> sound). Aggravating!

Code's eclectic music pick of the day:

Gotta slow my groove this morning. Maybe catch my breath after the last few days.

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"
