Nanoleaf Aurora Light Panels

I haven’t hidden my ongoing interest in smart devices. One product that caught my attention were Nanoleaf light panels but even by smart device standards, they’re pretty pricey.

Music Monday – Spike Lee’s “Do It Acapella”

Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast. Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s […]

Music Monday – “Well, the nobles said to the people, ‘You better close your public schools/Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too.'”

Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest.

Saturday Snap – A Delayed Housewarming Gift

My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm. We got the plaque in 1983 (I think the same year […]
