August 10: Beautiful Music Videos

Despite usually being an auditory experience music can also come with an equally wonderful visual experience. With everybody and their dog trying to make it big on YouTube there has been a massive emergence of beautiful music videos. There are some fantastic live-action videos but for this list I am looking at animated videos only. I even decided to save you all the convenience of having to search for the videos or going link by link and made a YouTube playlist. IF you do want to thank my just comment your favourite video.

You can find the playlist here. I will also link the titles of the videos to their respective clips.


10. She Wants Me Dead by Cazzette


This song makes it on the list but just barely. I like the song and the music video is pretty good. I remember some kids shows I used to watch having a similar art-style. 

9.  Jenny by Studio Killers


This is the song I found to discover the Studio Killers. I like some of their other songs but this one has an interesting art style and catchy tune.

8. Anvil by Lorn


First thing that popped into my head when watching this video was TRON. Ironically I haven't seen the complete movie but I think we can all try and see the similarities in style. The story on this one is pretty weird. After watching it a few times I got some ideas but feel like I am reading too much into it.

7. The Wolf by Siamés


I swear I don't only like black and white music videos. This one just happened to have some cool animations for doges that I wanted to share. Song is great, artist is great. I was really glad that YouTube suggested this one to me. 

WUT. IS. THIS. Song is catchy and the music video will have you saying "what the hell?" for the next ten minutes. 5/7 would watch again. 

I wish that somebody would create a story to go with the music video because it would be really cool. There is obviously no background information on the clip but the story is still pretty meaningful. 

Sad Asian astronaut is sad. I am always impressed with how much plot can be jammed into five minutes or less. 

3. Rasputin by Boney M (Remix)


Disco music can make pretty much anybody dance. Even Putin. Boney M.'s classic Rasputin gets revamped and stuck onto a music video for a far inferior song. They technically don't belong together but I think they should be seen together. 

Synchronised head bouncing meets a heart throbbing story. The characters remind me of Scooby Doo. The story is great and the music is REALLY catchy. Good luck getting this one out of your head.


1. Lone Digger by Caravan Palace


This is one of my favourite recently discovered music videos. The way the animators created all the characters is fantastic. 

What is your favourite video? Leave a comment!

Ongoing Linux Cheatsheet

Reference For Me, Reference For You? I often find myself using certain commands on semi-regular basis. Not regular enough to remember but enough to know what I am looking for. This is my list of snippets that others might find useful. I will do my best to update this from time to time. On a side note, I primarily use Ubuntu 18.04 (20.04 upgrade will likely happen when it comes out). I occasionally use distros other than Ubuntu but they are typically Debian based. Variables that you want to alter will be denoted as $VAR_NAME.

Hindsight 20/20: University Productivity Tips and Tricks

This May I started my Master's in Electrical Engineering. My supervisor is very supportive of me reading anything that might be related to my research but also things that interest me. One of my favorite things is his insistence that I read at least one paper a day. I generally end up reading more than one most days as well as reading chapters from numerous textbooks. I enjoyed most of my undergraduate degree but found that the purpose of it was to follow a curriculum. My experience with grad school so far has been nothing but self-guided learning. In the Fall and Winter semesters I am taking some courses that are required for my studies but for the most part my learning will be managed by myself and guided by my supervisor. Due to a number of professors in department getting to take their sabbaticals in consecutive years, I will miss out on taking a few courses that I really wanted to take but my supervisor has given me access to all the course notes so I can teach myself.

Baremetal Drivers: RFM69HCW and FRDM-K22F

Writing register level code is something I have always viewed as both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is absolute control over almost every aspect of the system while the curse is trying to understand all of the system requirements at the lowest level. As I have previously mentioned I am working on a micro-satellite prototype for my senior electrical engineering design project. My role in the project is the communication system. I was required to select and setup the hardware and software to be able to transmit data from the satellite to the ground station with handshaking and error correction.  HopeRF RFM69HCW Transceiver Module This is the transceiver chip that we decided to use. It is surprisingly inexpensive considering the features it includes. The version we are using is the 915 MHz model (ITU ISM band in the Americas) to avoid having our own spectrum license or to have to request usage of an amateur radio band.  One of the instructors in the course is refusi
