Featured Postings  Eldred, Saskatchewan on the map ... barelyI've written about obscure Saskatchewan communities before. Here is another community far to the north of Unity. My ancestors from France settled here. Many of my ancestors were pioneers that broke new farming ground nearest to a community called Eldred, Saskatchewan. Eldred was about 10 km ... Fortune Cookies for Human RightsYou know, I was minding my own business in this classy Chinese restaurant, engorging myself on their copious buffet, had my fill, and was handed the bill with an accompanying fortune cookie. This fortune cookie (the one to the left) really existed, and I never saw ... Getting f(x) notation to work in MapleMaple is a robust math environment which can graph, solve equations, and solve for the unknown with the aid of its computer algebra solver (CAS), which is capable of computing exact roots of cubic functions, for example. I wanted to demonstrate for myself that Maple could ... Kudos to the 1050 CHUM Memorial BlogRecently, I've been hit (my website that is) by someone possibly checking his plethora of links from his/her website, and when I back-traced it, I find this cool blog which acts as a convincing historical shrine to the late great 1050 CHUM Radio in Toronto. ... The Obfuscation of Electronics: The Behringer Xenyx 502This is more like a meta-review. I have gone to Canada Computes where nearly the entire Behringer line is sold, and was impressed by the specs. But does it do what I want, the way I want it? I face a number of obstacles, being a ...

Tweet In case you missed it, this song by The Gregory Brothers is based on a real news report from July 2010. This song apparently made the Billboard Hot 100 at #89, driven exclusively by iTunes downloads alone. The news report shows Antoine Dodson as a hero who has saved his sister from a rapist attack. While […] […] Go to article The Bed Intruder Song  Tweet This is the album cover from The Bloodhound Gang’s last album as far as I can tell, their 2005 offering called “Hefty Fine”. The album cover has the much-wanted “Explicit Lyrics-Parental Advisory” sticker on the cover. Translated, that means: Kiddies, this is a way cool record! That other stuff without the sticker is garbage! Buy this […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #143 — Guys who only want to be your friend Tweet Here is the first of the cliche “Four guys on an album cover”. I first misread the title as “Jack not again”, but saw that the “n” had a tail like the way some people cursively write their lowercase p’s. So, the album set in what is likely the early 70s, is “Jackpot Again”. I have […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #126 — Four Guys on a Cover Tweet Whirlwind Heat formed 12 years ago in Grand Rapids, Michgan, and continue to make recordings of their own unique brand of alternative music. For their 2006 offering, their second full-length album, they find that this young lady closes her eyes when she licks her wood. Or maybe she was told to. You never know with these […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #121 — Phallic Symbols III Tweet Just before work ended, there was this explosion at the Red Rubber Coating factory, and this poor fella couldn’t escape in time. This is Tripping Daisy’s 1995 offering, called “I Am An Elastic Firecracker.” What seems a little more worrisome is the skin tone of the fellow underneath the read paint. This is the 1991 single from […] […] Go to article Crappy album Covers #120 — Plastic Surgery Disasters Tweet With Just-Ice’s 1986 album “Back to the Old School”, we now see who the initial artistic influence was behind the designing of the album covers for the Putumayo collection. All a cover artist would need to do is remove the graffiti and a few of the logos, put smiles on everyone’s faces, and you now […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #30 — RAP! ZAP! POW! BOOM! Tweet This is a curious album, since Jimmy Carter is talked about, and does not appear on this 1977 album. Preview Records is a company that keeps track of the history and lore of the song-poem industry. It is not known which company put this out, but it seems to be MSR Records of Hollywood (now defunct). The […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #29 — More Celebrities Tweet Here, the glam rock group Nelson provides the musical answer to the riddle “why do dogs lick themselves?” Members Matthew and Gunnar, the twin sons of Ricky Nelson — who, in turn was the son of Ozzy and Harriet Nelson, have the distinction of belonging to a family that has had #1 hits in each of […] […] Go to article Crappy Album Covers #28 — Bad Ideas |
