Weekly Wrap-Up (08.06.2023 to 08.12.2023)

Weekly Wrap-Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023) Another week, another weekly wrap-up. This is technically the trickiest post I'm doing right now, since it's the only thing I can't really pre-write up. If I were not trying to do 31 days of posts for Blaugust it wouldn't matter, I'd just, skip it sometimes probably. Not a lot new or exciting anyway. I had some craziness at work but I don't blog about work. Probably the most exciting thing this week was Guardians of the Galaxy 3 coming to Disney+, so I finally got to watch that. It's not exactly glowing praise, but…

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

Here's another album for the "This is already so popular" list of albums, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Per Wikipedia, it's the 13th biggest-selling album, ever, and the 3rd biggest put out by a woman. There is a good chance that you've at least heard a song from this album, somewhere. It's an album that really sort of embodied a lot of the 90s feel at the time. It's an album that I listened to a lot in High School and beyond, and it's a strong strong contender for "Most listened to album". I like to track music as much…

Code Project – Goodreads RSS to HTML (Python)

I already have my Letterboxed watches set up to syndicate here, to this blog, for archival purposes mostly. When I log a movie in Letterboxed, a plug-in catches it from the RSS feed and makes a post. This is done using a plug-in called "RSS Importer" They aren't the prettiest posts, I may look into adjusting the formatting with some CSS, but they are there. I really want to do the same for my Goodreads reading. Goodreads lists all have an RSS feed, so reason would have it that I could simply, put that feed into RSS Importer and have…

Blaugust 2023 – Introduction Week

There isn't a hard schedule or any real requirements for Blaugust, it's literally just an excuse that people can use to write blog posts. The timing feels really great though considering social media seems to be starting to collapse on itself and maybe people are more primed for "personal blogging". Week two is "introduction week". Since the month started last week on Tuesday and my post then pretty much met the "Welcome to Blaugust" theme, I figure today I could go ahead and keep up with that with an introduction post. I've written plenty of introductions in the past, and…

Music Monday – Featuring Aurora Edition

So I've been doing album write ups on Fridays, but sometimes I do still listen to singles and one offs and songs not on albums. So here's a new series, starting here in Blaugust, where instead of doing albums, I just talk about videos and songs I enjoy. Also I'm calling it "Music Monday" because it's not very original and I am a sucker for alliteration. The Chemical Brothers - Eve of Destruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYsXKhBknyM Look at me, cheating already by just doing Aurora videos (well not all of them). I once made a comment on the Aurora Discord that my…
