A chill cosmic piece.

Another dub techno track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiGCg67UJLI

I feel like I've been overdosing all of you with techy-sounding music. So have something warmer! :3

It appears that this new strain of avian influenza is starting to spread more easily to others: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/.....-bird-flu.html

This could have a much higher death rate than COVID, and might spread more easily if it gets into the populace at large.

Stay careful, I don't want to lose any of you. ;3;

It's a pretty effective song for getting me hyped up.>:3

Here's a couple of block lists I use:

Turbulent, like my feelings as of late.

A short, dark piece from BoC:

And now for the "fun spooky" track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAcc6dzcJpo

Since Halloween is approaching I figure I might as well share some creepy music for it.

This week it's going to be "scary spooky". The Devil is in the Details, by Boards of Canada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwrrjDYJr9I

Next week I'll be going for "fun spooky".

Your mileage may vary on this one, but I enjoy it.

YouTube has stabilized for me again. So it might be worth doing music posts once more.

A friend of mine said "Animals have much richer inner lives than we give them credit for".

Perhaps they also consider a certain Master Splinter to be a role model?

Giving it another go. This time with an object!

class Koopa {
constructor(name, legs, hasShell, lifeStyle, eats) {
this.name = name;
this.legs = legs;
this.hasShell = hasShell;
this.lifeStyle = lifeStyle;
this.eats = eats;
}

getDietType() {
const dietType = this.eats === "vegetables" ? "herbivore" : "carnivore";
return `${this.name} is a ${dietType} which eats ${this.eats}.`;
}
}

const kLeader = new Koopa("Bowser", 2, true, "amphibious", "meat");
kLeader.getDietType();

// Bowser is a carnivore which eats meat

A little bit of code I worked on earlier today:

The code:

---
const turtle = {
name: "Bowser",
legs: 2,
shell: true,
type: "amphibious",
diet: "meat"
}

function turtleFood(str, diet) {
const dietStr = diet == "meat" ? "carnivore" : "omnivore";
return `${str[0]}${dietStr} with a diet of ${diet}.`;
}

const bio = turtleFood`This turtle is a ${turtle.diet}`;
console.log(bio);
---

The output: "This turtle is a carnivore with a diet of meat."

There are two reasons for this:

1. YouTube has become very sluggish on certain browsers, so I can't depend on links to there anymore.

2. A friend who was a major fan of these journals is no longer active here.

Back to the techier sound I prefer.

The "warmer" track I promised two weeks ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBqo5VsyKAI

So I'm not going to post that "warmer" track I promised last week. See, last night I ended up reminiscing with a certain about a game I played as a kid called Droidworks.

Among other things it had a kickass bit of music called Robot Dance Mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkUQgRLflkQ

It might be nothing but a 15-20 second loop, but man I can listen to it for hours.

Song credited to: Clint Bajakian, Jeff Kliment, Michael Z. Land, David Levison, and Larry The O.

The warmer track will be coming next week, I promise. :3

This Friday, some dark techy DnB: "Void" by Optical!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfAbj-0bOl0

I'll be posting something a bit "warmer" next Friday.

(Best listened to with headphones)
