Technically, I should’ve posted this clip yesterday. But with the way the so-called “weather bomb” snow blizzard crap hit us, I wasn’t really in my usual jaunty “first snow of the year” mood. It’s still supposed to get up to +9 by early next week so maybe I’ll have a do-over then…

Music Monday – “There’s a high-wire zombie ‘tween the World Trades/A King Kong zombie on the Empire State/But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome/The zombies who call the city home”
I first saw Spike Lee’s documentary, “Do It Acapella” back around 1990 or 1991. In those days, if you saw something on TV, it was gone unless you were watching a channel like MuchMusic that repeated it’s programming on a set (six hour?) rotation throughout the day.

Rock and Roll?
Pace gives new meaning to the term “rock and roll” at the playground today…

Music Monday – The Best iPhone Commercial Apple Never Made
This clip went viral over the weekend so you may have seen it by now. It’s by a band from New York called Atomic Tom who decided to do a performance of their latest single on a New York subway train using only the music apps on their iPhones – one for a microphone, one […]

Music Monday – “Darlin’ I had the best intentions/But I dug myself a hole/With a modern invention”
Another in the long list of “Things I Should Post About” is a in-depth exploration of my own views on copyright, piracy and the impact & actions of the various related industries. But for now, I’ll say that sometimes it’s the exact opposite of what the RIAA would have you believe. For example, I watched […]
“Maybe I Can Download My Nora Roberts and Nobody’ll Know I’m Reading Her!”
Yesterday, I mentioned that we now had all 10 library regions in Saskatchewan live on the SILS system after the final remaining groups in Phase III came online. Chinook Regional Library, based in Swift Current Saskatchewan, created a cute little YouTube video to promote this milestone for their library system:
Friday Fun Link – “It’s A Book” by Lane Smith
Our children’s librarians have been raving about this book and passing it around the library. I’ve got to say I agree – it’s hilarious! (And yes, I see the irony in posting the YouTube video promoting a book that shows the advantages of old tech over new tech!)
