DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Not Down the Rabbit Hole. Just On the Edge

I mentioned in my last post that I have been enjoying solo work by RM (his full Korean name is Kim Nam-Joon) leader of the Korean pop group BTS (yes, I still refuse to call male or female KPop idols boy or girl bands. Hell, RM is 30, FFS.) I'm really happy with RM's EP called "Mono," which was released in 2018, when he was 24. It's intensely personal, done in a mix of Korean and English. (Some songs use more English than others.) The tracks are generally lo-fi, and I find them both soothing and interesting.

This track, "Tokyo," starts the album, and it hits all my positive buttons. Another song, "Seoul," is a favorite of mine, but this one is fast becoming the favorite.

I hope you enjoy it.
