* While driving, we compared and discussed ways of recalling which songs are
  which in C418's album, one: https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/one

* I watched a short video discussing some potential new textures for various
  Minecraft blocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhHQ4JQzU3k

  I'm curious what the obsidian will look like in a natural environment but I'm
  doubtful about it. It seems too grainy..? It's not near as smooth as it's
  always been, and I'm not sure I like that change.

* I watched "I Can't Show You How Pink This Pink Is", by Tom Scott:

* I implemented a few new features (and touched up some old ones) on my music
  player; you can now save (modified "active") playlists to a file, and play-
  opts is working again. I also updated the manual pages; things are a little
  cleaner and more up-to-date there now!

* I caught up on a few quizzes in my science course. Luckily it looks like I
  mostly remember the concepts that were taught in the section I was quizzed
  on!

* I tried out a new geography book we were given. It's apparently done from a
  Christian perspective, but that mostly just seems to mean they're praising
  the universe's One and Only Holy Creator every second paragraph ("of course,
  all this wouldn't be useful if God had not created foo-bar process"). The
  content seems to otherwise be what you'd expect from a geography book. So
  far it seems pretty nice!

* I read "A Rant About Social Media", by Matt Roszak:
  http://kupogames.com/2017/07/18/a-rant-about-social-media/

  I think it kind of lines up with my old post on the topic.

* I watched "Accio Decade Hallows", from John on vlogbrothers:

* I watched "How Much of the Earth Can You See at Once?", by Vsauce:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxhxL1LzKww

* ..That lead to watching "Times Tables, Mandelbrot and the Heart of
  Mathematics", by Mathologer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhbuKbxJsk8

* ..And that lead to listening to "Shoulder Closures", by Gunnar Olsen:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WctGKfiSEMA

* ..And that lead to listening to a bunch of other music by Gunnar Olsen:
