To all my Facebook friends out there, here’s a humorous rant about the typical Facebook types.  If you’re easily offended, you may not want to read this.  It’s a little bit o’ smartass, but I like it.
I’ve started following TheOatmeal’s posts since reading “How to use an Apostrophe“.  I think his illustrations are fun and [...]

This animated short by Chris Jones is a dark and humerous style that I love.  “Beware the Goldfish” is an apt description from io9.

These guys remind me so much of my days in college as a music major.  Not to mention the crazy-cool Eigenharps they’re playing.  And if you like Moby and James Bond themes, definitely have a listen.
Thanks Boing Boing and Alan.

Here’s a fantastic Disneyland video from 1958, “Magic Highway USA” that explains all the wonderful technology we should be seeing today.  This includes, color-coded lanes (apparently, yellow leads to Dallas), Ceramic keels that creates bridges as it traverses the crossing, and escalators for cars for crossing difficult or steep mountains.

Unfortunately, it seems that we’ve only [...]

It’s just one of those minor annoyances, but every day I see apostrophes used where they’re not needed.
Apostrophe.me is a simple and easy to follow “flow chart” explaining when and how to use apostrophes.
The  parent site, TheOatmeal.com, has several fun reads including “How Web Design Goes Straight To Hell”

I’ve recently been doing a little cleaning up of boxes from my college years at Arkansas Tech University and ran across some marching layout/designs from 1991-1992.  For all you band geeks out there, this may be a little bit of cool.
Unknown Show, 1991-1992
Here’s a show from before our director made the switch to computer-based show [...]

Well, we made it back from Indianapolis, and had a great time.  While the Blue Devils have never been my favorite corps, I was impressed with their show this year titled “1930″.  They performed an encore after the event and we came down to get a closer view (pictured).
Check out the entire series.

We’re off to Indianapolis for the Drum Corps Internationl World Championships tomorrow.  It’s are annual “thang”, and I’ll get to try out my new camera this year.  Out of the 12 corps that perform, I usually take 200 or so pics that I’ll share here and on flickr.
This will be our 7th year, and [...]

Boing Boing posted a video of Bobby McFerrin creating a musical piece from audience participation and Pentatonic Scale.   The interesting part is that it’s completely unrehearsed and spontaneous.  There seems to be something about the scale that is almost mystical and pervasive in music throughout the world.   I’m pretty sure the audience isn’t made up [...]
