Week 4 of 2026
Everyone but me has been sick at home this week. I’ve been taking care of my family.
I tried (and failed) to get tickets to the BTS concert in Munich. I was assigned around number 160.000 in the queue for a venue with 75.000 people capacity.
Finished the Mathematics for Machine Learning Specialization. The last course was slightly annoying, for example an exercise is still wrong after 2 years of reports in the course forum.
Updates
- Reached level 6 in WaniKani but I still have words from level 5 to learn
Media
Playing:
Listened to:
- Fuath - III (Also on Bandcamp). Nice Atmospheric Black Metal with long songs
- Nourishment - Nourishment. Interesting mix of Black Metal and Coldwave
- Oraculum - Hybris Divina (Also on Bandcamp). Old-school sounding Chilean Death Metal. Absolute banger of an album, this may become one of my favorite releases of 2026
- static.grl - GO UNTIL YOU ARE GONE 2013.04-07 (Also on Bandcamp). Cool random recommendation from YouTube
- Thrä - lact’eben (Also on Bandcamp). Random Black Metal recommendation from Spotify. It’s the same artist behind Sadness and a dozen of other projects, how can a musician be so prolific?
- Zu - Ferrum sidereum (Also on Bandcamp). Avant-Garde Metal album released this month. I need more Metal with Saxophone on it
- Alfa Mist - Live at Real World Studios
- A couple of recently released singles, my favorite is probably The Claypool Lennon Delirium - WAP. Other songs I can recommend are Lone - Life Spark, Pasocom Music Club − tenk(e)i feat. Hakushi Hasegawa, Re:Hearts - Persona, XG - HYPNOTIZE
Watched:
- Ping Pong the Animation. Re-watched one of my favorite anime series. An exploration of purpose, joy, mastery and other topics
- Yaeji Gives A Tour of Her Playful Powerful Creative Studio
