Now maybe I can make some actual progress on the rest of the program. This is the start of Thinkulum June, so I have four weeks to finish version 1.0.<\/p>\n<h2>Apologetics<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n<p>I finished the main body of Keener&#8217;s book <em>Miracles<\/em>. It&#8217;s been thought provoking. Now I&#8217;m on the endnotes, which are as long as the rest of the text. It&#8217;ll probably take another couple of weeks to finish. Why do I read the endnotes? Because they contain a lot of interesting and important side discussions.<\/p>\n<h2>Movies<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday Jeremy and I watched <em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em>. I liked the concept and the mix of art styles, and it made me curious about the various spider-people, only some of whom I knew about beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>It also convinced me to buy a sound bar. My TV&#8217;s speakers were not up to the task of this movie. Turning the volume way up had little effect. The speakers work fine for other videos, so I&#8217;m not sure what the issue was. But this is a problem that seems easy to solve.<\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n<p>I finished sampling the <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/thinkulum\/playlist\/1Raa3lkbNGM6pvFERf1tIy\">drone music playlist<\/a> I assembled from the Wikipedia article. Here are some examples that stood out to me last week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/61YqFMbB6vsYfB9Ky9Mil5\">Bethany Curve<\/a> &#8211; I&#8217;d heard of the shoegaze genre years ago, but it didn&#8217;t appeal to me at the time, so I ignored it. Then it came up in this playlist, and this time I was intrigued. Bethany Curve reminds of the Falling Up album my sister gave me for my birthday, <em>Hours<\/em>. They&#8217;re like Falling Up lost in thought. So now I guess I&#8217;m a shoegaze fan.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3psPvfJX0dMn05RK7fqcIL\"><em>Insurgentes<\/em><\/a> by Steven Wilson &#8211; This album has shoegaze influences.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6QDK7cxsrhaE3SLOTesF5k\">Polar Drone 1<\/a>&#8221; by Erik W\u00f8llo<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7Gb6vZ5snQDeAnmMXhP173\"><em>Lullaby<\/em><\/a> by If Thousands &#8211; This playlist has been all over the map, but Erik W\u00f8llo&#8217;s track and this album are roughly the kind of music I imagine when I think of drones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an added bonus, I made a Spotify <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/spotify\/playlist\/37i9dQZF1E8L07v39dlEmz\">radio station<\/a> out of Big Black Delta&#8217;s &#8220;PB3&#8221; to see if I could find more drone tracks with a similar sound. I didn&#8217;t, but what I did find kept me listening. I especially liked the other songs from Big Black Delta and what I heard of Perfume Genius and Son Lux.<\/p>\n<h2>TV<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude14<\/p>\n<p>I caught up on <em>Dark Matter<\/em>, which is still one of my favorite shows. I&#8217;m disappointed it was cancelled after season 3, especially since there were some major unresolved plotlines. Apparently a season 4 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techjunkie.com\/dark-matter-netflix-amazon\/\">can&#8217;t<\/a> happen anytime <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/dark-matter-tv-series-season-4-cancellation-reason\/\">soon<\/a>, but I&#8217;d be content with a comic version like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jericho_(2006_TV_series)#Jericho_comic_series\">Jericho got<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m catching up on season 2 of <em>The OA<\/em>. I like that they&#8217;ve introduced another mystery in addition to continuing the story from the first season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coding project generator \ud83d\ude10 It took forever, but I finally got my tests working and my vulnerabilities resolved.
