Today's soundtrack is Dropout Kings: Audiodope, an awesome heavy album that sounds like a sort of millennial nu-metal: like Korn and Linkin Park meet Drake or some trap music. Really cool stuff! One of my favourite shows of all time is Twin Peaks. An integral part of the Twin Peaks experience is the beautiful soundtrack. … Continue reading 10.16.2018: Special Edition – Playing the "Twin Peaks" Theme Song Entirely On Reaper's Built-In Synths

10.15.2018: One Lesson of Math – Simplifying Radical Expressions
Today's soundtrack is Lil Wayne: Tha Carter V, an album that shows how much better the father of mumble rap is at rapping than he is at playing guitar. To arrange radicals in order from least to greatest, if they have coefficients, first we put the same number of coefficients inside of the radical as … Continue reading 10.15.2018: One Lesson of Math – Simplifying Radical Expressions
10.14.2018: Handwriting One Poem
Today's soundtrack is Strung Out: Black Out the Sky, an acoustic album from a band that apparently plays a punk/metal fusion. I'll need to check out the rest of their catalogue another time; I like their sound so far. This morning, I scribed the fifth part of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" in cursive.
10.13.2018: One Chapter of Nonfiction
Today's soundtrack is Sun Ra: Sound Sun Pleasure!!, the most traditional-sounding music of his that I've heard yet. I love it. This morning, I'm reading the fourth chapter of Dr. James White's The Potter's Freedom, "The Will of Man." Dr. White opens the chapter with a quote from Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free, which asserts … Continue reading 10.13.2018: One Chapter of Nonfiction
10.12.2018: One Lesson of Math – Absolute Value
Today's soundtrack is Starflyer 59: Leave Here a Stranger. I still haven't found what I'm looking for. This evening, I'm working on the first part of the second chapter of my math course, "Absolute Value of a Real Number." A number's absolute value is its distance from 0, regardless of whether it is positive or … Continue reading 10.12.2018: One Lesson of Math – Absolute Value
10.10.2018: One Lesson of Math – Test Day
Today's soundtrack is Leeched: You Took the Sun When You Left, a brutally heavy hardcore album. This afternoon, I wrote my first Pre-Calculus 11 test, covering arithmetic sequences, arithmetic series, geometric sequences, and finite/infinite geometric series. I think I did well on it; I look forward to getting my mark!
10.09.2018: Special Edition – One Moth Meme (and studying for pre-calc test)
Today's soundtrack is A Perfect Circle: Eat the Elephant, which is everything I hoped for and more. It's wonderful to finally hear Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan's voice again after so many years. The lyrics are, of course, thoughtful and thought-provoking. It's one of those albums that I'd love to sit down with the lyrics … Continue reading 10.09.2018: Special Edition – One Moth Meme (and studying for pre-calc test)
10.08.2018: One Lesson of Math – Formula Sheet for Sequences and Series
Today's soundtrack is Breaking Benjamin: Ember, a hard rock album that ticks all the boxes for me. It has heavy guitars, the drums sound huge, and the vocals are alternately singing/screaming. The production is very sterile, almost over-produced, but in this case, it works. The album reminds me of a cross between Project 86, Pillar, … Continue reading 10.08.2018: One Lesson of Math – Formula Sheet for Sequences and Series
10.07.2018: One Lesson of Math – Infinite Geometric Series
Today's soundtrack is Parquet Courts: Wide Awake, a fun and funky punk-inspired indie rock album. This afternoon, I'm learning about infinite geometric series. We learned in this September post that geometric sequences can be either finite or infinite; by extension, we would assume that the associated geometric series would also be either finite or infinite, … Continue reading 10.07.2018: One Lesson of Math – Infinite Geometric Series
10.06.2018: One Lesson of Coding
Today's soundtrack is Elder: Lore, a recently-released but classic-sounding heavy metal album. I love its artwork. This morning, I'm beginning by finishing my homework from my Geometric Series assignment, then I'll be learning how to use Python to modify text files. This afternoon, I'm learning from this DigitalOcean article that covers the basics of opening, … Continue reading 10.06.2018: One Lesson of Coding
10.05.2018: One Lesson of Coding
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. This evening, I'm learning on freeCodeCamp how to prioritize one CSS style over another if they conflict - for example, if my HTML style … Continue reading 10.05.2018: One Lesson of Coding
10.04.2018: Special Edition – Hungry Man Beer
Today's soundtrack is Steve Roden: walking from savoonga to gambell [sic], a relaxing drone/ambient electronic instrumental album. This afternoon, inspired by Hungry Man's "Pub Favourites" collection, I created the following graphic, then tweeted them with the idea. I expect it'll be a great success.
