Something that interested me this week

This week I was mostly consumed with work, Twitter (got to 10k followers 🎈), the Hamilton soundtrack, and looking into buying a euphonium.

In terms of the euphonium: many people don't know what it is, it turns out! It's a big low brass instrument! I put a link in the section below about it. It's bigger than a trumpet and it's smaller than a tuba. It has a really, really pretty sound. I used the play euphonium way back in the day (as in, middle school and high school) and really enjoyed it, but have never owned one.
Amazon has a bunch of brass bands that I've been thinking about joining, and there's been some parts in the Seattle Video Game Orchestra (where I play trumpet) that call for a euphonium that seem pretty neat. We'll see if I get one. I've mostly been scouring eBay for good deals. Fingers crossed!
 

Interview question of the week

Several of you you answered the question this past week! My favorite submission I admit though wasn't a solution at all: Tom Bredemeier ended up giving the question to his AP Computer Science students! Totally brightened my day!

Now, onto this week!

Joke

Two women are drinking in a bar.
They pull out the sandwiches their husbands had lovingly prepared and get ready to chow down.
The bartender comes over and says "you can't eat your own food in here."
So they swapped sandwiches.
 
That's it folks, until next time. Be safe, make good choices, and eat a sandwich.
