Too Awesome To Ignore

( Do They Let You Do This In Guitar Hero? I Think Not--But Would Love To Be Proven Wrong )

Night Flight (the Eighties/Nineties syndicated music video TV show) had a very special video to this song that I can't find on YouTube. :(

Why Do Songs Come When We Dream?

( This One Came In My Dream Overnight )

In my dream there was a family gathering and it came on the radio and I tried my best to sing along with it.

I certainly hope I wasn't actually singing in my sleep. I haven't been in good voice in forever.

Thrilling Flight...

( ...As It Was... )

( And As It Is )

The second video is a teaser for this weekend's RBAR in Portugal.

PS: It has come to my attention that if an ordinary LJ reader accesses my page he/she will see advertising on the sides. I find that deplorable, as I don't get any benefit from LJ for the advertising, beyond my free hosting. If I switched to Plus, then I'd get more features but have to condone seeing ads myself. As I don't think I can afford a Paid account at the moment, it's something I can do nothing about. Pardon my venting...I just found it a nasty surprise. I apologize to all my regular readers and ask them to bear with me.

Man Accesses His LJ With a Slide Rule--Film At Eleven!

Hey.

Got my Dad to teach me a skill that is beyond the capabilities of the pocket calculator and the Calculator program provided with Windows: deriving the Cube Root.

When he was in the Federal Government, he used a Slide Rule everyday, and I have two of the three he used to use. So he got the Slide Rule in his hand and his memory sparked and he showed me how, along with the instructions on the back. I took notes. I put the notes where I would expect to find them if I needed them. And I did some practice to make sure I understood him and myself. (Yes, that sounds schizoid...but you learn best only one way, right?)

Modern computers pamper us but don't do everything--yet. Do the Math.
