Left To Do But Smile, Smile, Smile!
Neaky freat or freaky neat
Put your hands up in defeat!
Word is, on the street
You’re hotter than a cookie sheet
Freaky Friday special
Order some today
Rock a throw through a window
Knock you on your seat
Octopuses dance
Have a berry treat
Psychedelic paint
I think you’re really neat
Pina Colada
Watermelon seed
Kaleidoscope of ocean green Continue reading “Neaky Freat (A Poem)”
It’s probably best to listen to the video below with headphones or big speakers to get an idea of the Videomic X’s sound; out of small speakers the mix sounds thin – I did not add any compression to the file – this is a raw video file out of a Canon XA-30 camcorder with a a Rode stereo “Videomic X” via XLR to mini-XLR cables.
Camera audio inputs are set to “auto.” Next test with drums I’ll use the manual setting, which, on this camera still provides some Auto Gain Control but I imagine might sound less severe. Continue reading “Testing: Rode Stereo Videomic X”
Dear Mister Blog Person,
It’s come to my attention there’s been a notable lack of activity on this blog the past few weeks.
Although we’ve had our differences in the past, I, for one, would like to congratulate you on showing respect and restraint to us manatees by not recently directing harsh accusations and unfairnesses toward us, as you have Continue reading “Not Too Big of a Manatee”
Just having fun with my guitar at home! Hope you enjoy!
News reporting is like customer service; sometimes good things happen, but no-one says anything. There’s good reasons why.
Even more likely; bad things are avoided or solved, and with the solution the impact and newsiness of the story fades away, either no longer interesting, a story that never developed, or a dog with a missing tail.
The dog’s tail disappears easily in the world of customer service. When I was a customer service manager Continue reading “News Interruption!”
Say “Goodbye” to “Moore’s Law” … and “Hello!” to “Murso’s Maxim!”
Moore predicted, back in the 60s and 70s, computers and small chips would grow stronger at an alarming rate, which has proven true … but it couldn’t go on forever.
We’re at a plateau with high quality computer and electronics Continue reading “Murso’s Maxim”
(PROVIDENCE) Sources tell the Associated Press Google has denied involvement in causing two full months of unpleasant weather in the Eastern U.S.. An unidentified source calling himself the “Weather Whistle” appeared on the TV program Continue reading “GRID PRIME DEBUTS, STORMS PERSIST”
This one hit a thousand views. I’m thinking about cutting my hair like this and nixing the beard. What do you think?
<Warning: The following story is biased. You’ll see.>
Why is Katie Couric hosting the Olympics? This is a sports event, not a political one. She shouldn’t be there; not to represent the United States. Not this year.
Tonight began Winter Olympics 2018 from South Korea, and a lot of great things happened, even some you could certainly call political, I suppose. But can’t people just get together? Even if the Koreas combine into one for the events, a single Korea, a motion, an expression, of interest to all earthlings … this is still a sporting event. Continue reading “Katie Go Home! (or, Welcome To South Korea for the Winter Olympics!)”
(MIAMI) Florida’s uppity manatee population may face deportation under a new effort by the Trump administration.
The popular “sea cows” are gearing up to take the case to court, while a local faction is considering migrating to Mexico … and a longer-term mission to Mars!
U.S. President Donald Trump hastily signed an executive order this week Continue reading “MANATEES FACE EVICTION”
Amid controversy over habitat, community standing, and even ethical posture, Florida’s manatees are suing billionare Elon Musk, and say they feel slighted by Musk’s latest adventures in space. A spokesman for a popular herd told the Associated Press in a prepared statement he was “shocked and offended” that people “care more about a little red sports car than manatees.”
The spokesman, who goes by just “Fred,” appealed to Musk, saying “if you can put a car in a rocket, you can put a manatee in one.” The lawsuit is based on Fred’s claim Continue reading “MANATEES SUE MUSK”
I let my cat outdoors sometimes. There I said it! It’s an impressively-controversial thing to do! In the winter, she doesn’t like the snow and “tries” to use the litter box, but she much prefers spending time outside. She has access to the roof, where she contemplates the lyrics to Grateful Dead songs, and she has times of day and areas of the yard, I keep an eye on her, and she comes when I call her.
Last Fall, I had a hunch she was having a great time, so I followed her around with my camera. Watch! She makes friends with a chipmunk I knew we had but could never get more than a glimpse of …maybe the same chipmunk that used to taunt Ziggy my Pit Bull by climbing inside a six-foot PVC pipe – he would go nuts trying to get the little thing!
