Meditations on the life of a DJ with Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" being the inspiration for the first game's playlist! :)
Thanks to the Supreme Court, the bookies have been getting their slithery tentacles all over the sports landscape where now pretty much any sporting broadcast is chock full of adverts for sportsbooks and real-time betting lines on screen. But toward the end of one recent Hurricanes game, the bookies really seemed to go to absurd lengths with their offered odds…
Alex was hoping for a Snowpocalypse so he wouldn’t have to go to school. The lack of a Snowpocalypse didn’t stop Wake County schools from binning school anyway…
When the weather forecast turns ghastly and is of the wintry persuason round the Triangle, one can’t help but thinking of the great wintry calamities that have befallen an area utterly unprepared for the aftermath…
Even an impending Snowpocalypse (or Durmageddon) isn’t enough to keep us from seeing some old friends at the arena! :)
The one thing these tracks have in common? A fast-paced driving rhythm... :)
All it takes is another half metre of effort but apparently that's too much for this delivery driver... :(
Food Lion wasn't quite to the point of paying me to liberate this turkey from their freezer case...but I think Dad would still have been proud anyway! :)
Winging it with a playlist can be kind of scary...but that's what makes it so much *FUN* especially when your audience is really enjoying the seemingly random tracks! :)
YouTube served up a certain clip from "WKRP in Cincinnati" and that was the inspiration for today's Thanksgiving message...humour and the people you love in this world can get you through just about anything life can throw at you.
My cousin Hannah is arguably among the strongest and most courageous people I have ever known. In spite of pain so severe that it is almost unimaginable that it could be endured, she's managed to finish a master's degree and advocate strongly on the behalf of those who society would prefer to forget and do more in her time than most have with many more years behind them. Now she's in what is literally the fight to reclaim her life and fully realise her destiny of being a troublemaker of the very best kind this world desperately needs. Will you help her in her time of need?
Sometimes the theme of the playlists is blindingly obvious. The inspiration for tonight's playlist proves that this is not one of those nights... ;)
MI5 has their hands full again with Communist spies but this time they're hailing from the People's Republic of China!
After Charlotte was invaded by ICE agents over the weekend, it appears that Raleigh is the newest front in the reign of terror that says it is only interested in nicking violent criminals who are eligible for deportation as illegal immigrants but their tactics seem to be stomping all over the Fourth Amendment (among others) of the Constitution... :(
Whilst waiting for some Chinese comfort food for Nicholas who was definitely feeling like the fourth day of a three-day liberty pass, there was a penny on the table whilst I was waiting for the food. That penny was apparently worth many thoughts that restores my faith in this country's ability to survive... :)
Historians years from now will be writing massive tomes on how not to handle an existential political crisis that threatens to bring down a President. This administration’s handling of the Epstein files seems to be just such a threat…
Taxes aren't ever really going to be fun but it is nice when you ring up a tax collector's office and not only are they polite and patient with your questions coming from half a country away, they've also got a decent sense of humour as well! :)
Another day, another pair of roofing scammers. What sets the taller one apart from most was a statement of such stupidity that I genuinely had to stand in awe of it...
Tonight we honour the 29 brave men who perished on the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on 10 Nov 1975...
As we honour the veterans and active duty members of the Armed Forces as well as those who came before them, they should not be the only ones shouldering the burden of fighting for the freedoms we often take for granted!
Way back in 1990 when WMMO 98.9 FM hit the airwaves, they had a policy that all tracks that were played would be identified by title and artist and to never talk over the music without exception. They also tended to stack adverts at well-known times when they weren't doing hour long advert-free music blocks. WFOX wholeheartedly agrees this is a fantastic idea... :)
Let's face it...Internet domain name management isn't the most exciting thing in the world. And yet the team at Porkbun have managed to make it not only visually interesting and fun, they've also managed to cut out a lot of the BS upselling for about as cheap a domain name registration you can get.
Just because I have my hands on the virtual turntables doesn't mean that we are above giving the citizenry what they want. We're democratic. In some ways. :)
I love my Traverse but mending her occasional faults seems to have more than a little frustration thanks to curious design choices by the engineers of the Lambda series…or it’s just that they hate people who want to mend their own vehicle. So imagine my surprise when this little bit of maintenance was actually much less painful than expected… :)
Some of the most fun I have whilst spinning the tunes for MCHL Ironclad is shamelessly abusing my authority over what gets played outside of the games. Take for instance the fun I had with the set for my brother Benjamin’s birthday… :)
