When she loops and layers music so intricately, there are infinite variations for every work. I could recognize the bones of nearly every piece she played last night, but deeply appreciated the nuance and freshness of each piece.

Not insane after all

At least, I'm not insane for any of the usual reasons. A few times over the last couple of weeks, my Linux system here would be dark. When I got home from work ... when I woke up in the morning. That's not normal, because as the home storage, DNS, and mail server, off is a bad state to be in. I figured it was the system, though, and was waiting for some logged evidence of the sub-system I need to replace. Last night, I left the Windows box running, too, mostly out of laziness. This morning, both systems were…
