I had a thought, and I have to be the first to share it on the whole internet!
I think, the rise of the internet is to our society, pretty much what the rise of consciousness was to the animal kingdom!

The rise of the internet is the beginning of the end of days for the human race. The longer we stay wired, the more inhuman we become.

Not anymore.
Many 2nd world and 3rd world countries have internet now. With better innovations coming soon for world wide internet service from yours truly Elon Musk, even the most remote locations will get internet, whether they want it or not.
Soon, everyone on earth will be wired into the Matrix.

You are absolutely correct. The Internet is just like the rise of consciousness, given that 99.99% of people are not conscious.

Who was it that said "I'm not OCD, I'm CDO. I like he letters in the right order." on here?
Own up, I just used it a group chat at work.
Right, back to work.

The first reference seems to be DD, back in July 2010:

Either you have a very good memory, or a very good search engine.
Either case, it is nice to get some Nagy post and fun it relates to the Dalek.

It's the latter, unfortunately.
Search[^] for "ocd AND cdo", change the "Sort by" to "Created (Old - New)", and it's the first result.

JAMBINAI - ONDA[^]
This week's SOTW comes from @PaltryProgrammer.
Jambinai is a Korean post-rock band and this song is named ONDA from the album of the same name, which means "come" or "coming" (as he explains in the video).
I don't know NPR music, but apparently they have regular video's and this one was recorded at home during the pandemic.
The video's description says it all "At its heart, JAMBINAI's music mixes elements of metal, noise and Korean tradition. There's full-on distorted guitar, bass and drums, but also a haegeum (a fiddle-like instrument), a piri (a type of flute), a taepyeongso (a reed instrument) and a most appropriately named instrument, a geomungo (a giant Korean zither). We also hear some delicate vocals in the mix."
I've never seen some of the instruments they use, so that's pretty cool.
And it sounds great too, although you might want to skip the first four minutes as that's really the prelude (and explanation) to the actual song.
