Day five of 30 Artists in 30 Days proved to be a challenging one. While the first four days saw me quickly find an an artist I loved, day five say me listening to lots of nice music (and some not-so-nice) music, but nothing I loved enough to want to support.

Having a little bit more free time these days, and suffering from an extreme compulsion to spend all this free time, I signed up for two Coursera courses at the same time. Both of them are lots of fun, but both are also a little more time-consuming than the ones I’ve done before, so I’ll… Continue reading Modern American Cryptographic Poetry
