Album of the Week
Dream Fatigue
by Rex Orange County
Released November 6, 2026 · 39:38
Have you ever listened to an album that has just released and thought "this is exactly what I wanted" or something like that? If you'd asked me this last week I might have said Oh Yeah? by Steve Lacy but not really. That album has a couple songs that I really like but in totality it's just alright. Last Friday when I sat down to listen to this album, that is exactly the feeling I got. This is fucking amazing. Every single song on this album is so damn good. I've written before about how I really like albums that have a consistent vibe and this one really nails it. I love every instrument in every song, especially the strings and background vocals. I love Dream Fatigue!!!
I've been behind on schoolwork for a bit and this past week was really hard for me. I'm the kinda guy that really needs downtime and I did NOT get that this week. Nearly every waking hour was spent working on schoolwork, eating, sleeping, or doing some other essential task. I had such a backlog of stuff that I only had like 8 hours to study for one of my midterms and 5 to study for the other. Finishing the first one on Thursday was a good boost of confidence, and once I got done with that last one on Friday I felt free. That is when I sat down to listen to this album.
Friday was a cold day, it'd been pretty foggy recently and the trees have been turning orange so it was a nice little vibe. I was sitting on a bench in this little side path while I watched everyone else walk by. All these people had places to be, stuff to do, but I was with the privilege of sitting and existing. I have not felt that content in recent history. These songs aren't the most uplifting, but they are definitely beautiful and that was the feeling I was getting at that moment. Life felt genuinely beautiful for once and I just wanted to sit there and feel that for as long as I could. As each of the songs played, my satisfaction grew and grew. From now on, whenever I listen to this album, all I will see are those orange trees and everyone else walking by. Nothing but good.
My favorites on this one are Penelope, Grandma Song, Empty Stage, and Dream Fatigue.
Personal Computers
These beautiful machines power all the work I do every day from school to building this very website!
MacBook Air M3
This fanless leighweight design marvel is my main device for schoolwork and writing code.
Fun Fact: This model of the M3 Air was the last MacBook Apple ever shipped with 8gb of unified memory. Lucky me!
Zenbook S16
Anything requiring windows or a bigger screen is dedicated to this thin and light laptop.
Fun Fact: The S16 weighs only 3.3lbs. Thats less than a 14" MacBook Pro while being 2" bigger!
PLSWORK2024
This is my low power SFX pc I use every single day. It draws around 300W while under full load and runs all my demanding tasks from videogames to local LLMs.
Fun Fact: This computer has had 3 different motherboards, two of which were broken on arrival, and one of which died!
Bio
I am a data science student at Oregon State University and am interested in exploring the field as much as I can. I love to work on miscellaneous projects (which frequently end up on this website) and I love to learn!
I have experience working with EEG signals to create visualization and exploration tools. These projects help people of all experience levels explore the most complex organ in the human body: the brain!
