Anybody on CoSo doing nanowrimo this year?

Well, after my discovery of the sorta faerie classical lady who analyzed Would? and determined it was "monastic" and in the feel of the Dorian mode, Would? of course has to be this week's song.

Please understand that these events are entirely at the mercy of the weather, over which we have little control.

We will post updates on Saturday PM with information and whether or not we may have to cancel, so be sure to check back after 3:00 pm"

Anybody watched "The Fall of the House of Usher"? (minor-semi-spoiler) Show more

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).

Code's eclectic music pick of the day:

Sunday music. Here's Wim Mertens' "Loosening the Ropes"

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.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence." - Louis Pasteur
