1st Notions

Sing Me To Sleep, by Jeremy Blake, is a song that hits me in a rather nostalgic (though for a recent past) way.

Like, it's an electronic lullaby of sorts, but it's also about all of the thoughts that pile up at the end of the day, as your mind struggles to let go and surrender to the night.

"Sign me to sleep"

"If the bough breaks, what can we keep?"

So, zeroth notions is roughly the same size, as an HTML document, as the minified+gzipped preact library. I bring this up because a lot of discussions around JS library size don't have a scale you can quite see. Admiral Grace Hopper talked about carrying a nanosecond, I feel like being able to point at 4.6kb might be handy.
