Good morning, everyone! Last week was an absolutely fantastic week! The Supreme Court did amazing things and I still find myself smiling just by thinking about it. The SCOTUS also held up key Obamacare provisions and a racist old-fashioned symbol was shamed out of most public places. I feel better about being an American today than I did at this time last week, and that's pretty exciting.

On a personal note, I started a new job (which is going great so far) and moved my blog once again because WordPress broke on me one too many times. We're sitting on Squarespace once again, and I hope that I never have to worry¹ about my site going down or having plugins get all wonky and break the site.

Oh, and someone made Mario in Unreal Engine 4!

New Music

Apple Music launches today, so tell me what you find! There's nothing that drew me in yet.

Swag of the Week

I know this is old news to a lot of people, but Girl Talk finally “clicked” for me, and I've been listening to his mashups constantly over the past week. All Day in particular is nonstop fun basically from start to finish. The best part of this week's swag pick is that it's totally free.

If you're wondering how it's free, check out the list of sampled songs and it's pretty clear getting the commercial rights weren't happening.
