+	4790K, 16GB of DDR3, SSD storage. The server runs Arch Linux, which was probably a bad idea, but it hasn't
 	caused any problems yet. It serves content through an apache webserver, and has a pretty simple backend:
 	I use PHP for templating, CSS for styling, and no JavaScript at all. The server supports HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.

 	one of two pianos: my 1903 Bechstein parlor grand or my Casio PX-S3000 digital piano.
 	My digital piano can record MIDI, so I use a DAW to customize and assign a piano sound afterwards.
 	However, I don't edit the MIDI data at all. It's all exactly as-played.

-	I've only played music since 2021, so I am very much an amateur! I enjoy some of my music

-	I can also sing kind of, so there are some recordings of that, and there will be more in the future.
+	Playing music has had a significant positive impact on my life, and is something I would recommend to almost

+	something akin to meditation. Beyond being intellectually interesting, these are also immensely satisfying,

+	It's often stated that there are connections between math and music, but I take issue with that sentiment. Math is
+	the perfect abstract language, and so it naturally models everything. Music can therefore be described in terms of math,
+	but far more interesting are the connections between music and philosophy.

 	in 2D. For this reason, the photographer has ultimate power over the image he shares; an infinite number of 2D slices
 	may be created of a 3D space. Despite this control, there is a way in which photographer is different from other forms
 	of art; a photographer does not necessarily feel that he is creating; often, he feels that he is capturing.

-	Extrapolation is circular. Mathematics is meaningless.

-<h3>That the narrative explanation is coherent</h3>

An older child who has developed these skills is now working out the relationships between the mental states of others and their actions, and it is with this that we are concerned.
