The original title for the post was going to be “B(l)os(s)om friends” and be a play on words of “bosom friends” (you know, from Anne of Green Gables?), but I forgot that blossom had both the extra “S” and “L” and I didn’t believe in you guys to figure it out. That being said this post will include photos of cherry blossom season in Korea alongside a rant about coding. Onwards…

Kindred spirits (another Anne of Green Gables reference) far and nigh, come together to feast upon my visage that is cherry blossom season in Korea!

In other news, my Art & Informatics course was described in the syllabus as an interdisciplinary course of music and technology. We’re about halfway through the semester and I still don’t know what we’re doing. We started doing a coding workshop last week:

And if you ask anyone who works with code, they’ll tell you it’s the easiest thing since sliced cheese…

Not.

I’ll admit, it does make me feel like Mr. Hackman from Kung Fury when I’m type “Serial.begin(9600);”

One minute I’m doing whatever this is:

Then, next thing you know I’m hacking you back in time!
