Today's soundtrack is Christmas With the Mills Family, a Spotify playlist that includes my favourite Christmas songs. A few weeks ago, I bought a breadboard, some 555 timers, some jumpers, and Jesse Rutherford's book, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to the 555 Timer. My goal: building an Atari Punk Console. True to my nature, I jumped … Continue reading 12.12.2018: Special Edition – the 555 Timer

Today's soundtrack is Rest, Repose: Rest, Repose, the self-titled album from this band that features one of my favourite YouTubers, "Djent Daddy" Jared Dines. The guy is genuinely funny and is an incredible guitarist, drummer, and vocalist. This afternoon's songwriting project isn't strictly featuring the writing of any songs. Actually, it's probably more about coding … Continue reading 10.18.2018: Special Edition – TXT2MIDI.py

Today's soundtrack is Sinsaenum: Repulsion for Humanity, a death metal album that reminds me of a cross between "Domination" era Morbid Angel and "Conceived in Fire" era Living Sacrifice. Great stuff.

Today's soundtrack is Death Cab for Cutie: Thank You for Today, another incredible album from this indie rock band from Washington. Every time I listen to their music, I'm inspired to write songs about memories. They were a huge influence on my debut album; most of those songs were written in circa 2005, when I … Continue reading 09.27.2018: One Lesson of Coding

Today's soundtrack is Connie Francis: Rocksides. I heard her song "My Best Friend Barbara" being played when I visited Nuggets Used Books in Chilliwack, and was immediately enthralled with the classic sound. It's a really fun album. This evening, I'm revisiting the Randomizer to try to figure out whether I can get it to run … Continue reading 09.20.2018: Running a Python program on an Android phone and syncing it with PC

Today's soundtrack is Lightning Bolt: Fantasy Empire, which sounds kind of like an avante-garde noisecore doom metal album. I was first playing it as background noise and hated it, but I've realised as the evening has progressed that the louder I play it, the better it sounds, and now I actually don't want to turn … Continue reading 09.12.2018: One Lesson of Coding

Today's soundtrack is MGMT: Little Dark Age, which kind of sounds like what I'd imagine a collaboration between Shiny Toy Guns and Modest Mouse might sound like. This evening, I'm learning how to size images using CSS with the freeCodeCamp lessons. In the same way that we can make font classes with CSS, we can … Continue reading 09.10.2018: One Lesson of Coding
