    I&amp;#39;d love to see an option in music player apps to switch between &amp;quot;by track&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;by album&amp;quot; for playlists. In album mode: * Each playable thing will be an entire album in order from start to finish. * Skipping will skip the whole album and start playing the next one. * Shuffle mode will shuffle the albums but keep the tracks in order on each album. If only this could happen! But they&amp;#39;re not interested, are they? :(

    A productive planning day and a walk around a lake. I&amp;#39;ve fixed some of the narrative structure issues by relocating some scenes as interstitial teasers. I also named the three parts, which helps to solidify their functions. Part one is finished, and is called &amp;quot;Parabolic Ark&amp;quot;. It&amp;#39;s quite hard to find names that are not spoilers, but I feel they&amp;#39;re important. I&amp;#39;m the opposite of Terry Pratchett in that respect: I&amp;#39;m all about chapters and...

    &amp;quot;atm&amp;quot; may be longer than &amp;quot;rn&amp;quot;, but at least it can&amp;#39;t be mistaken for a lower case &amp;quot;m&amp;quot;. Just ask the senior management of Washbum guitars.

    I wonder whether some extraordinarily clever artist could make a much more expansive version of M C Escher&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Print Gallery&amp;quot;, in which we begin with a quark and zoom out to the entire observable universe during a 360-degree rotation, showing the whole universe as being packed into the quark... And no, I have NO idea what would be involved but I&amp;#39;m sure it would be a huge challenge...

    Take a listen to this, and pay close attention to the vocal and all the backing vocals during the harmonies. I assume Eva was performing the BVs as well. In any case, the vibrato on all the parts was, to my ears, entirely in phase and in sync throughout. I wasn&amp;#39;t sure that was even possible until now. What an amazing performance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aMuZVt7lzk
