After a few months of owning it, my Rivian is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. It is the first one that I actually want to drive. I like being in it, I like looking at it. I'll probably own an EV truck for the rest of my life.

Back on Bluesky and web dev socials after a break. Y'all are arguing about the same shit lol.

Upped my coffee game! After a lot of research and a power point presentation to my wife comparing models we ended up with a profitec go.

Nature in the backyard! Had to rescue two little black snakes that got caught in some netting. Turtle is just a bonus.

Ok so I finally got "The Getaway 2" cracked open. Both of the bridge rectifiers under the heat sync are cooked. Thermal paste is all dust. New ones are on order.

I have completed my long-overdue Sights and Sounds video on Aztec youtu.be/IrZCYj2ZHj8 These videos are intended to help non-sighted folks have a better understanding of what the devices I feature are like, which is quite a task for pinball! And there a clean audio recordings of the machine itself

It's in!

The pinball machine came with the original manual and it's even signed by the designer.

Collection is filling out

I got this little bluetooth adapter so I can play music from my phone through my Klipsch speakers.

Ok more Even in Arcadia thoughts by song. 1. Looking Westward Absolute banger, perfect example of a Sleep Token song. Those death core screams are ::chefskiss::

10. Infinite Baths Psychotic name. This is all about the breakdown at the end. It's the heaviest Sleep Token gets. They also let the scream sit on its own which is really rare. It reminds me of Will Ramos' bit in To the Hellfire "PINS AND NEEDLES" very cool. Good ending.

Summary. I really enjoy this album. I do wish I had another Chokehold mixed in there somewhere but that isn't really a problem with what is there. My only real criticism is that the stair step approach from light to heavy feels a tad formulaic. Going to be on rotation for a long time yet.

8. Damocles I like it. This is definitely their most radio playable track. (Not a bad thing) Another lyrical highlight from Vessel. "Come up for air and choke on it all" Also more great drums. Sleep Token uses drum solos like other bands would use guitar solos.

9. Gethsemane Huge departure. Intro lyrics are giving their first two EPs. Guitars are unlike anything else they have done. They take this very Polyphia/Steve Vai sound, but it's so detuned and punchy that it still sounds like Sleep Token. This is going to be a song of theirs I learn to play.

6. Even in Arcadia My favorite. The Vessel shout at the end is one of the best moments. This is somehow the most metal songs without guitars. "The gods we thought were dying were just sharpening their blades" "What was missing from the scriptures will be written in my blood"

7. Provider (Waits while listening to Even in Arcadia again) I honestly don't know how I feel about this one. Maybe I will come back after more listens.

4. Dangerous LOVE the 80s ballad guitars at the beginning that then morphs into R&B. The electronic "riff" or whatever you call it makes me smile. I really like knowing that II is playing the electric drum kit and that it's not just a loop.

5. Caramel The DRUMS! Especially with the point music box sounds running under the whole thing. Not a song I expected a big breakdown from but I'll always take it. It's like a treat.

2. Emergence It was a solid first single choice. I really like the syncopation and moving from the electronics to chunky guitars for that bit make my brain tingly

3. Past self Just not for me. I can't really criticise it, there is just not much in there that I like about Sleep Token

Puppy approved.

Ok "Even in Arcadia" first listen thoughts. It's good. I wanted it to be heavier. I wanted some more songs like Chokehold. Will definitely be on rotation for a while.

Working on some things... This uses a version of the context protocol for binding updates. All you have to do to implement your own bindings is listen for an even and call a callback.

Before and after

I'm ready.

I'm starting to build up a public site for Heximal - my project to enhance HTML with reactive documents, declarative components, templates with data-binding, and more. Heximal is like a modern mashup of Tangle, Polymer 2, and HTMX. heximal.dev I'll be working on real docs and examples soon.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.
