Calm Luh Captain's Log
Looking out the window...
This one's going up a lil late.. typing this on my phone while drinking a slurpee to the new Clipse album so just be patient with me here...
It has been over a month since I soft-launched the revamped version of this site! (let's call it 3cks.net 3.0) Lemme make it clear that I'm not afraid to go ahead and say I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten about the new style and the efforts taken to achieve it. Would I ever get a job in web design? Probably not but I believe that tech literacy is one of the most valuable skills a person can have. The original plan was to just update the old layout and leave it at that, but it never hurts to raise the bar here and there. For those who prefer the old look, you can still check it out at https://3cks.net/classic or by disabling JavaScript.
Despite the common need for simplicity, there's nothing cooler to me than the urge to maintain a repository. I owe a lotta props to the open-source community.. not only for giving life to this site but for giving life to the other script-dependent ones that inspired it, such as www.based.gg and any GitHub page that uses React95. Trust me when I say that my personal contributions to that cult are still a work in progress, and I got many plans to make sure this page gets updated over time. Along with writing this post up,
here's what else I've been working on:
- Added descriptions to the videos on here (then praying someone will read them).
- Went ahead and compressed several GIFs and images from the Gallery. I repent for the 50MB PNGs that had absolutely zero excuse for being there.
- Started work on a Music page, which will be out when it's out..
Speaking of music.. after months of keeping it lowkey, I am once again hyped to announce my work with underground label CIO Records for their latest exotic, gray-market, olive-oil-infused compilation:
BAKLAVA!
BAKLAVAtape.blend
If you've been following me for a while, you know I'm a huge Action Bronson fan and even went as far as buying every album he's ever released. While I still haven't seen him live due to his habit of cancelling shows, I can confidently list Rare Chandeliers as one of the greatest mixtapes of all time.. up there with the likes of Death Grips' Exmilitary and Lil Wayne's Dedication 2.
For a project like this, CIO Records blessed me with way more creative control than I coulda ever asked for. Not only was I hooked up with a free copy, but they let me curate the tracklist and pull from nearly 15 years of Bronson's discography. Along with classics like Terry and Dmtri, we also threw in many deep cuts that have never been available on streaming or cassette before. I love these songs to death and any real Bronsonheads will know how hard it is to track down his older work on physical. Ya boy also got to make a lil promo video for it (featuring the assets shown in the image above).. which can seen below:
Isn't that so cool? I've got more collabs planned with another label in this scene so be on the lookout for those. Once that wraps up I'll more than likely dump em all here. The BAKLAVA tape (and also a shirt) is available at ciorecords.com as part of an incredibly limited run, so it will likely be sold out by the time you read this :(
In other news, the Tornada website got a complete overhaul recently and I'm all here for it. As a fan of putting small details on a website to make it more fun, lemme just say that webmaster Xeedot came through with a spontaneous but nessecary rewrite of the source code! As of July 4th, the site will now feature sleeker assets, dynamic banner images, and even a footer message that changes every time you refresh the page. More details can be read about on our blog where she explains it in greater detail.
Welcome to Tornada.net 2.5!
P.S. Made my own banner for the site, which you can see on there if you are lucky enough:
Shoutout to the indie web dawg.. if you got a neocities or strawpage then you're keeping the spirit alive. If you ever get bored on here, feel free to head over to a different page and make yourself comfortable..
