Brief:To try and discourage phone use in bed to get a better nights sleep.Description:Technology has become so embedded into everyday life that it is difficult to detach from it, especially for younger generations who often lose valuable sleeping time because of 'being online'. 夜間night* aims to discourage phone use in bed and aid the process of drifting off to sleep.夜間night* starts a soothing mood light when the phone is inserted, encouraging sleep whilst charging the phone. 夜間night will react to the phone when a notification or message is received by flashing brightly and vibrating, disturbing the user, questioning whether the phone needs to be on or not.Press ReleaseA press release is available in both .pdf and .doc formats

Outlines is an ongoing project that looks at the beauty of motor racing circuits and the iconic nature of layouts. Similar to the Single Lines project, the premiss of Outlines lies in the use of lines, but instead of one solitary line, there are multiple.
The inner most line is the actual circuit shape. Each corner is present and correct in their most recent form. All the details are there from the reprofiled Bus Stop Chicane at Spa-Franchorchamps to the Nouvelle Chicane at Monaco. The outer lines explore how detail can be lost when trying to expand something already so detailed.Graphic Design, Illustration2014 - Present

Using all the knowledge gained from working with textiles at the start of the semester, produce a laptop bag.
The Modular bag was a laptop bag that was produced in the first semester of third year. It was meant to be designed so that it would be useful to ourselves and the sort of lives that we live.
The modular bag was designed on the fact that each day the requirements of the bag may be slightly different in that the user may not need their camera or certain cables one day, but they will another day.
It features the main laptop bag itself and 4 addon bags that are attached via leather belt. Each bag has its own padding and is secure.Product DesignSeptember 2010 - December 2010
Personal Project
Following on from the radio project in the second semester of second year at university, I was unhappy with the way the radio turned out, so I made it my goal to remake them the way that I really wanted them to be in the first place.
The original radio looked at the relationship between light and sound. When the radio was turned on, a light bulb would flicker to the sounds that were made. Similarly, the speakers have exactly the same function, but do not have a radio in them, instead just a set of speakers.
Two different speakers were made. One out of vacuum formed plywood, the other out of bent acrylic with a laser cut veneer exterior.Product DesignJuly 2010 - December 2010

Yes, I'm still here. It's time for a confession. I only wrote that column on Wednesday because there was a marathon of Storage Wars on and I couldn't pull myself away long enough to write anything meaningful about wrestling. Well, not really. That story is a lie. I still don't know what my situation is going to be moving forward, but I'm here with another day of Headlines for you fine folks. Before I go on, I want to thank everybody who commented with words of encouragement, pleas not to leave, and everlasting tears at the thought of me not writing anymore. Seriously, thank you all for your support. I really wanted to respond but I still can't figure out which Facebook setting is causing my comments to not show up. In my possible future, I'll create a Yahoo account or something to comment with so I can actually talk to you guys. I do read every comment and take it to heart, but I've apparently drank too much alcohol in the past few years to learn how to respond properly.
With that said, let's forget about my melodrama and see what's up in the news. In news that I wish was a direct result of my column on Wednesday but definitely isn't, WWE is apparently looking to make people care again. This 1000th Raw is going to be a big deal if the reports are true. Supposedly, the company is going all out and treating this show like a major pay-per-view event. As one might guess, they've reached out to the usual legends like Jimmy Hart, Jimmy Duggan, Jimmy Johns, Roddy Piper, etc. Basically, all the legends they always bring around for these types of shows. However, they're also looking for some bigger surprise names that we don't always see. This could be a pretty big opportunity to have a majorly talked about moment if WWE plays its cards right. I'm thinking the return of Ric Flair could be a big deal for this show if they do it correctly and he keeps his clothes on. Unless he's elbow dropping his jacket, of course. That's just awesome.
One guy they are going after is The Undertaker, which shouldn't be too overly hard because, you know, he's contracted to the company. The hope is that advertising his appearance a few weeks out will help boost the ratings that are sagging lower than Mae Young's prosthetic whatever-those-were. Other rumored ratings ploys are introducing new talents as well as building a pay-per-view level card and promoting it three weeks out.
That last one scares me. The definition of a pay-per-view level card can vary greatly in today's climate. We could get CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan in an Ironman match, or we could get John Cena in a handicap match taking on a cardboard cutout of Penn & Teller. Either one seems suitable for the latest string of pay-per-views.
In the same article, it's also mentioned that WWE is looking to do another "knock your socks off" angle for the summer similar to The Nexus invasion and the Summer of Punk 2. This is also being done to boost the ratings and have the product be less stagnant. If this turns out to be true, then the 1000th episode of Raw seems like a good place to do something major. Cue the Cena heel turn rumors.
Despite my waning interest in today's product, I'm still looking forward to seeing if WWE truly pulls out all the stops for this show. Depending on who they can get to appear, it could be a Hell of a night. Or it could be the equivalent of watching a three hour long director's cut of anything Adam Sandler has done since Happy Gilmore. Time will tell. (Lordsofpain)
Shane McMahon will be ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ stock market this morning in Times Square in New York. He will ring the bell by climbing to the top of where they drop the ball on New Year's Eve and elbow dropping the bell, then try to force the bell to stop dating his sister. (Prowrestling.net)
The Miz announced on Twitter that he has begun weapons training for his role in The Marine: I'm The Miz and I was never discharged from the military. He posted a picture of him aiming a gun at the camera. Maybe it's the lighting, but he appears to be trying to grow a beard. The beard will probably work very well for a while only to completely forget what it's doing and stop trying midway through its bearding career. (Twitter)
Randy Orton's suspension is costing him somewhere around $200,000 for not working for 60 days. In other news, fuck Randy Orton. (Lordsofpain)
That will do it for me today. As always, continue to enjoy all the great articles here at TJRWrestling.com and thank you for reading.

This is an old revision of the document!
IMHO, it is more eye-pleasing and more readable for the customers
if the labels at the left-side of the Attributes' table (in the Product page)
are made aligned-right, instead of their default aligned-left.
For the above purpose, go to
skin → front-end → default → default → css → boxes.css
at line 975 in the Product Collateral section and
add the following
text-align:right; margin-right:3px;
inside the curly brackets of the original code of that line
.product-collateral .attribute-specs .label { font-weight:bold; }
so that the final result reads like this:
.product-collateral .attribute-specs .label { text-align:right; margin-right:3px; font-weight:bold; }
The new code of the 975 line should be the same as the one in the below image
(the grayed text in the 2 previous lines is a note of what we have done, for future reference ):
Now the Labels in the Attributes' Table of the Product page in the front-end look now right-aligned, as in this image:

Hey there,
I've been trying now for hours to center the menu of Pilot Fish. I've seen the topic posted here earlier but none of the 'margin: auto' hints seem to work. In fact - there are not that many margins left where I haven't tried adding an auto command...
My understanding of CSS is very basic, admittedly - and there is something I am not grasping... Please help me finding out what it is... :)
Thanks in advance and cheers,

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/6/13
After the St. Louis Blues took a 4-1 lead in the second period, the Los Angeles Kings felt their former playoff opponents letting up slightly, sitting back on defense and protecting their advantage. That's all the opening Los Angeles needed to launch a stunning comeback. Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 13:51 to play, and the defending Stanley Cup champions roared back from a three-goal deficit for their seventh win in eight games, 6-4 Tuesday night. Jake Muzzin tied it early in the third period with his second goal for the Kings, who have won six straight home games while surging up the Western Conference standings after a slow start to the season. Their highest-scoring performance of the season was a testament to Los Angeles' playoff-tested toughness - and perhaps an indictment of struggling St. Louis' tenacity. ''They started to back off,'' said Anze Kopitar, who added a goal with 5:09 to play. ''It's only natural with a three-goal lead, but we started to sense th...

Tracy Morgan to perform at Pabst Theater May 5
Nearly three years after a scheduled Riverside Theater appearance was abruptly canceled due to a filming conflict, comedian Tracy Morgan will return to Milwaukee on May 5 with a show at the Pabst Theater.
Morgan, a "Saturday Night Live" alumnus who played unhinged TV actor "Tracy Jordan," an exaggerated version of himself on NBC's recently concluded "30 Rock," is spending his initial post-"Rock" days doing stand-up comedy. His Milwaukee show will be part of what's being dubbed the "Excuse My French" tour. »Read Full Article
Bar owners scramble to keep up with fake ID technology
The arms race between bar owners and college students with increasingly sophisticated fake IDs is heating up.
Students today can spend $100 to $150 on fake identification through a number of websites that claim superior quality down to the holograms and bar codes. There's an underground review that rates the quality of fake IDs from different sites. Students can even watch YouTube videos on how to make IDs showing they're 21, the legal drinking age. »Read Full Article(30)

"Monster Sled" Being Added To Frozen Fenway

You may think the best place to sled around here is hills and golf courses. Nope, the best place to get your Winter on is on the monstah!
The celebration continues for the Sox first year skipper! Team manager John Farrell has probably received a lot of celebratory phone calls in the past few days, but one from a certain White Sox fan stands out from the rest of them.
The 2013 World Series continues to be one filled with indelible memories. Last night, Jonny Gomes credited an inspiration dugout speech from
What an incredible day on Boston sports on Sunday. First, a great come from behind win by the Patriots, and then the Boston Red Sox, after being totally cold for almost 2 whole games, break out and win game 2 of the ALCS in the most improbable way
The New York Yankees were eliminated from the Wildcard race last night. For only the 2nd time in the past 19 years, the Yankees will be not be a participant in Major League Baseball's post season. I know this seems small of me, but the fact that they aren't in the playoffs brings me a certain amount of joy
It was a great night at Fenway Park last night. The Sox swept the Yankees and pretty much dominated the entire weekend. It was also very nice to see the ceremony given to the Yankees Mariano Rivera in what is more than likely his last trip to Fenway Park.
Tonight the first place Boston Red Sox take on the Yankees and can really put the hopes of a post season for the pinstripes in jeopardy if the Sox take 3 out of 4.
Okay, its time now. The dormant Red Sox fan can now come out of hiding, dust off the jerseys and get on board with what is shaping up to be one heck of a season.
I'm sure by now, you have heard the story that Jared Remy has been charged with the fatal stabbing of his girlfriend. Most of the headlines that I have read today have Jerry Remy's name in the headline itself.
David Ortiz came under fire last week after he bashed in a dugout telephone with his bat, but THIS week he does a 180 and poses with a fan's baby during the National Anthem before a game against the Kansas City Royals.

Mj12 Comic CoverJul 18, 2012 Wallpapers 0 comments
Just a fun little comic book cover image. We're hoping to make a few more images like this one for fun; who knows maybe make a small comic.
In the distant future of 2005, the long standing Intergalactic Cooperation Treaty signed by Human and Alien representatives was violated when the Aliens became aware of Humanity's sinister plan to advance rapidly using their technology, and then turn on them. They chose to strike before we had an opportunity to prepare, and after a brutal firefight, they decimated the Area-51 facility in Nevada. Ten diplomats of the Majestic Twelve council were captured and transported away by alien forces, leaving only a few crack commandos in the squad behind (big mistake). As one of only two surviving Majestic Twelve members, it's your job to recover your comrades, and stop the aliens!

...Majestic 12... You could have chosen a better namesake than a borderline terrorist paramilitary orginaisation from Deus Ex, IMO.
Ah, actually, "Majestic-12" comes from the organization described in various documents unearthed in the 1980's as read here: En.wikipedia.org ; Deus Ex, just like our game, draws from the same mythology. Our game doesn't have anything to do with Deus Ex, nor is it inspired by it, Deus Ex and Mj12 are inspired by the same base mythology it seems.
Ah, well, I'm sorry to have impugned your creativity in that case, and I will certainly check this game out when I have time.
No worries mate. I hope you enjoy the game if you get a chance to play it. Have a great day.
MJ12 isn't mythology. It's a group within the US Government.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO its not free xd :(
nah,there's demo!the saver of the people who don't get to spend money at games!
You should see if in the long run you can add basic modding support, Since it is a engine you have developed from the ground up I would assume it can't be massively difficult. I understand it would still take awhile but please get back to me if your thinking of doing so or not, thanks
(P.S sorry for any gibberish or typos I had to rush this)
This Game is showing up under Linux 64bit Desura. Is there going to be a Linux version of this?
I'm not sure why it's showing up under Linux now as it's for PC only atm; but we're certainly interested in Linux and are reviewing potential avenues to port to Linux.
Thank you Sir! I would def enjoy a linux port. I will fully support you.

I believe that the Pulitzer Prize this year missed a season of change. Awards like the Oscars, Nobels and Pulitzers determine how we frame history. Hossaini's picture has now become another episode in the never-ending Western fascination with the horrors of the Muslim world.

evan klitzke's musings on music, computers, and life
I keep forgetting about this thing, and then every six to twelve months when I have to do it again, I waste a bunch of time rediscovering it. It's important enough that I'm going to blog it.
If you're used to using PostgreSQL, you'll know that with Postgres you can
connect over the local
AF_UNIX socket using peer authentication. This means
that as the
evan user I can automagically connect to the
evan database
without a password. Likewise, to become the Postgres superuser, I simply need to
sudo -u postgres psql. This works using some magic related to either
SO_PEERCRED or
SCM_CREDENTIALS which let you securely get the credentials of
the other end of a connected
AF_UNIX socket.
MySQL also has a local
AF_UNIX socket, and you can use this socket to make
connections to MySQL. This is pretty handy, and for many reasons you may prefer
to connect to MySQL over the local socket rather than using a TCP connection to
However, MySQL does not do the peer authentication thing. It doesn't matter if you're the root user connecting over a local socket. If the root user is configured to require a password (which is what I strongly recommend), then you must supply a password, even if you have sudo privileges on the host.
Fortunately, there's an easy workaround here that prevents you from having to
type the root password all the time if you're doing a lot of MySQL
administration. When you use the
mysql CLI program, it will look for a file
~/.my.cnf and use it to look up various connection settings. In
particular, in this file you can set a default user and password. So let's say
you've done this nice thing and made a file called
/root/.my.cnf that has the
root user's MySQL credentials, and you have the file set to mode 600 and all
that and everything is great. You can type
sudo mysql and you won't have to
supply the root MySQL password (just possibly the root sudo password).
Here is a really important thing to know: the behavior of reading
~/.my.cnf is
something that the
mysql CLI program implements, it is not something
implemented by
What that means is that when you are writing some script to frob MySQL using Python and MySQLdb, this will not work:
conn = MySQLdb.connect(unix_socket='/run/mysqld/mysql.sock',
You might think that if you ran this script as the root user, it could authenticate. Not so. Instead what you want is this:
conn = MySQLdb.connect(unix_socket='/run/mysqld/mysql.sock',
By the way, using the
read_default_file option like this is definitely the
best way to authenticate to MySQL from Python in general. You should not be
putting database passwords in your Python projects---neither in your source
code, nor in your project configs. By using a file in the filesystem like this
you can move all of the database credentials into Puppet/Chef/whatever and
secure the files so that most users can't read them. It may not seem like a big
win today, but a few years later, when you're given the task of auditing
everything for passwords, knowing that passwords have only lived in your
configuration management software is going to help a lot.
This blog series is going to explain to my advice on being an urban cyclist. The difficulty I've seen with other people is that while a lot of people know how to ride a bike, they may not feel comfortable riding in heavy traffic, on poorly paved roads, or in poorly lit ares. These posts are based on my experience the last six or seven years of my life cycling mostly around Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
The first post in the series will cover what kind of bicycle I recommend, and what kind of gear you need to ride.
First you should have a well maintained bicycle. If you're buying a new bicycle, I strongly recommend getting a road bike with drop bars rather than a cheapo mountain bike. Road bikes are simply a lot faster, and if you don't feel fast you're not going to want to bike. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing people whiz by you on their bikes while you're struggling on yours. Simply put: if you don't feel good on your bike, you're not going to use it.
You can get a decent used steel frame bicycle in the Bay Area for $500-$600 or cheaper, depending on exactly what size frame you need, what type of components you want, etc. If you live elsewhere, you can probably get one cheaper. A decent new road bike will be something like $1000 or more if you want to get really fancy. If you're buying a new bike, I'm a big fan of Surly Bikes, but there's nothing wrong with getting a used bike. If you get a used bike, make sure you ride it and test that it can shift smoothly and brake quickly.
You should get and wear a helmet. You'll easily exceed speeds of 20 mph on your bike, and even in dense urban areas cars frequently exceedp speeds of 30 mph or more. For a comparison, falling off the top of a two story building entails an impact of about 20 mph. At 20 mph, much less at higher speeds, you can very easily die in a head on collision.
Next, make absolutely sure that you have both a front and rear light if you're going to light in any kind of low light conditions. Riding in the dark without a light is incredibly dangerous, because you'll be moving quickly, be hard to see, and be making very little noise. I like the silicone lights that don't require any mounting gear that you can put on and off your bike really easily (mine are "Snugg" brand and cost $15 for a pair on Amazon). These are great for riding around and being seen. However, they're not going to illuminate the road in front of you. If you plan on biking in really dark areas you'll want a bigger/brighter clip on light—I'd recommend the ones that are 1 watt or higher power output (most of the ones in the store will be 0.5 watts, which isn't ideal). Make sure you always remove your lights when locking your bike outdoors.
For locks, at the minimum you need a U-lock and cable lock.[1] The U-lock will lock your rear wheel and frame, the cable will lock your front wheel. Note that all of the cables you buy can be cut fairly easily (in a few minutes perhaps); the point of the cable is to deter someone from stealing the front wheel (which is fairly cheap), the U-lock is what will actually be securing your frame. I highly recommend the 5" Mini Kryptonite U-Lock. The 5" locks are not only the smallest ones, but they're also the most secure. U-locks can be easily broken by someone with a jack, if there's enough space to get the jack in between the bars of the lock to bend it. The 5" locks don't admit enough space for someone with a jack to get a hold on the lock. However, you'll really need an adequate rack to lock your bike with a 5" lock. For instance, it's generally not possible to lock your bike to a parking meter with a 5" lock whereas you can with a larger size. When you lock your bike, you need to place the U-lock so that it secures the rear wheel through the rear triangle of the bike. You generally should not directly lock the frame. By locking the rear wheel through the rear triangle, the U-lock is actually going through both the frame and the rear wheel (although it may not look like it!). The cable loops through the front-wheel and back around the U-lock.
In areas with high rates of bike theft, such as San Francisco, you'll need some way to secure your seat as well. I biked and locked my bike outdoors for years in Berkeley, Oakland, and Los Angeles and never had a problem with seat theft. As soon as I started biking in San Francisco, I got my seat stolen twice in the course of a month (both times having left the bike alone for less than an hour). So whether or not you need this really depends on where you live. Bike stores will sell special locks for seats. You can keep the lock on the seat all of the time because you'll only need to remove it in the rare situations when you need to adjust the seat height. If you don't like the look of a seat lock, or want to spend less money, you can also try securing the seat post bolt by using security bolts or hot gluing a BB into the bolt head.
If you're going to ride in the rain, I strongly recommend a detachable rear fender. Otherwise you're going to get a muddy butt. I've never found a front fender to be necessary; if it's rainy enough to need one, you're going to get drenched anyway.
[1] If you have security bolts for your front wheel, you can probably omit buying and carrying a cable lock.
This album is sick.
I don't have a LinkedIn account, which some people find to be a bit strange. I'd like to talk a bit about that.
As a software engineer with an awesome job, I really do not need a constant barrage of recruiter spam. Here are the specifics:
My experience with LinkedIn is I'd get a torrential inflow of recruiter spam (i.e. "Join our HOT VC-backed stealth startup!!!") that wasn't useful to me at all.
Worse, I found that some people would "stalk" me on LinkedIn before coming in for job interviews. As in, I'd go in to a job interview, and someone would mention something about my past that they had looked up on LinkedIn. This has happened once with my Twitter account too, which is even creepier.
Since LinkedIn provides no value to me and is yet-another-way-to-track-me, I don't have an account with them. EZPZ.
Today I was relistening to Champion Sound by the J Dilla/Madlib collaboration project known as Jaylib. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and something that has been somewhere on my heavy rotation pretty much since I discovered the album a number of years ago.
J Dilla and Madlib are two of the dopest hip hop producers of all time. They major shortcoming I'd say of both of them is that a lot of their material can be kind of out there and experimental (especially Madlib). This is great for the hardcore enthusiast, but makes some of their music less accessible. However, this album in general does a really great job of reigning in the experimental stuff and providing a nice balance between being extremely accessible and being sonically innovative.
The thing that makes this album really interesting is that both J Dilla and Madlib are primarily producers. So having them emcee on tracks is really awesome. It would have been easy to come out with an instrumental only collaboration, but the format they chose is a lot more interesting and the album benefits as a result.
Some of these tracks are real bangers. The Red is one of my favorite tracks of all time; and by the way, be sure to check out the original version of the song. Jaylib's alter ego Quasimoto makes apperances on some tracks like React and Strip Club. And there's some hard shit on this album too. The track Strapped featuring Guilty Simpson is one of my favorite hardcore gangsta hip hop tracks. His opening verse:
I sit on the end at the movies and let my feet stick out
Any nigga with a problem get his teeth chipped out
is incredibly vivid and one of my favorite hip hop verses. The track Nowadayz also has some really great and imaginative verses as well:
Nowadays your boy probably tryin to hit your girl
While you tryin to work to buy the ho diamonds and pearls
Fo' sho'~! It goes down like the girl on her knees
Tryin to please every nizzle gettin drunk smokin trees
While you 9 to 5, 'bout to 25 to life it
That ho on some sheist shit, cause you find out how trife it's
The way it is, all she wanna do is swallow kids
Another thing I really like on this album is the incredibly interesting samples used. I particularly like the Hindi wailing on the titular track Champion Sound.
Anyway, check this thing out if you haven't heard it. It has the Evan Seal Of Approval.
I was recently turned on to Final Conflict's seminal album Ashes To Ashes from this Pitchfork album review. The album review made the album sound awesome, and I'm pretty into some of the other acts from the 80's LA/OC hardcore scene (e.g. Black Flag, TSOL, Adolescents), so I had to check it out.
Put simply, this album is fucking great. I personally have a strong preference for the hardcore sound (i.e. compared to thrash/black/heavy metal) because that's the shit I grew up on, so even though the whole scene was a bit before my time I get nostalgic for it. That said, there are some pretty prominent metal influences in this album that clearly place the album in the late 80s. For instance, the track Abolish Police features some awesome wailing guitar sections not as common in the earlier hardcore stuff (but seen for example in the later Black Flag material). Some of the tracks like Shattered Mirror strongly evoke the sound of some other LA/OC acts like TSOL or Adolescents; in particular, this track reminds me of some of the tracks from the Adolescents' debut album. There are some awesome samples of Reagan-era political speeches on tracks like Political Glory and The Last Sunrise.
tl;dr if you're into hardcore stuff, check this album out.
I added an RSS feed to this "blog", again using Python's excellent
lxml module. This ended up being really convenient because of the way
I was already using lxml to generate the articles from
markdown. There's a method
.text_content() on the lxml html nodes,
so I can already take the marked up article content and extract the
text content from it. Thus, the generator script (lovingly called
generate.py) ends up being a thin wrapper that generates HTML from
the markdown files, then does some element tree gymnastics, and
magically out of this comes an HTML element tree that's rendered as
the blog content itself, and an RSS element tree.
tl;dr magic happens and then blog.
Right now this album is my favorite thing. Especially the first two tracks, holy shit.
Those of you who know me well know that while my music interests are varied, lately (as in, the past few years) I've mostly been listening to hip hop music. I wanted to do a review of a new album I've been really into lately that isn't a hip hop album. That album is Sunbather by Deafheaven.
I found this album somehow by stumbling across links on Pitchfork. I think I was checking out some bands I had found on Vimeo, and a Deafheaven link came up at the bottom of one of the pages. Anyway, I saw the Pitchfork album review, saw that it was rated well and read the album description, and I decided to check out the album. It's an incredibly easy album to get into because the opening track, Dream House, is so powerful. It's very atmospheric with fast-paced guitars and percussion, and very emotive-but-subdued "screamo" vocals. The next track, Irresistible, blends in perfectly with the first track and provides a really nice contrast; it is a very melodic entirely instrumental track. The album generally follows this pattern of a long black metal/emo/screamo track usually followed by a shorter more melodic track.
I can't really do the full album review the same justice as the experts can, so I refer you to the already linked Pitchfork review, as well as The Needle Drop's album review.
What I really love about this album is how accessible and melodic it is, and yet how emotive and powerful a lot of the tracks are. I don't listen to a lot of black metal (which is I guess how the band labels themselves), and I think black metal is generally a somewhat inaccessible genre for outsiders. Yet I was able to pick this album up really easily. This may because the album is non-traditional to the genre, but I like it.
I'm especially excited because I'm attending the Pitchfork Music Festival in July, and I found out (having already bought tickets) that Deafheaven will be performing there. I'm looking forward to seeing them live!
I made a simple static site generator for my new blog incarnation. The generator works using Markdown and lxml to generate sites. I am not using any normal templating tools like jinja or mustache.
Since I think it's kind of interesting, articles are structured as separate files in a directory, and an article itself looks like this:
metadata, e.g. the article date
more metadata
blog content starts here
In other words, there is a preamble section of metadata, a blank line, and then the actual markdown text. I parse the metadata, generate HTML using the Python markdown module, and then transform that into an lxml element tree. The lxml element tree is munged to insert the metadata (e.g. the article date).
I decided on this format because
Mostly I intend on using this space to talk about music, bicycles, computers, life, work, and all of that good stuff.
