This article explains how database indexing works in a way that feels hyper-targeted toward me: using a database filled with Pokémon.

Tracking every single song I listen to seems to be a habit I built a long time ago and can't seem to shake.1 My tracking tool of choice continues to be last.fm.
I recently stumbled across this site that downloads your entire history of tracks and presents the data with some seriously fun charts and graphs.
You can look at mine if you aren't a last.fm user yourself. I could stare at the race chart all day.
Other similar habits include tracking my steps and tracking the beers I drink. ↩

And tonight, the category is: covers that go hard.
These madlads are back in the kitchen throwing down hard to perhaps my favorite System song.
How dare they. How dare they.
My daughter is gonna go nuts for that alto sax solo.
Of course that song won a Grammy this year.
From that first strum in Tema de Guile, I was hooked.
Edit:
I woke up this morning and the algorithm delivered me more SFII content, this time in the form of Japanese jazz fusion.

I have loved listening to Giant Steps since college, but never knew why so many musically-literate people love this album. I just liked it because it sounds good.
This is the first video that explained the circle of fifths in a way that made me want to learn more about music theory.

I was totally sobbing by the end of this beautifully illustrated version of Danny Fenster, an American journalist who was arrested for months in Myanmar for the crime of... uh, journalism.
One of the big things I took away from his story was how he trained himself to embrace boredom. I really should try to get into meditation.

Is there anything more punk than spending your snowy Sunday listening to The Rezillos, piling up a mountain of snow, and digging a big hole into it, just because it's fun and makes you happy?
Yeah, I'm really proud of this igloo, we kicked butt on it.
Next time, we'll make the roof higher and the room bigger to accommodate two adults and two kids.
