Saturday Matinee – Vince Taylor, Shakin’ All Over, The Specials & Rufus Thomas
Guess Who? It’s not Who you think it is. Vince Taylor & The Playboys.
Science declares 4 seconds of shaking removes 70% of the water off a wet dog, and 20% lands on you. Do aquatic mammals, like whales, orcas, dolphins & porpoises, shake off air? NEW STUDY! [Your tax dollars at work. Found here.]
The Specials revived ska in the 70s, and did the dog.
Rufus Thomas knew how to walk the dog decades ago, until his demise in 2001.
Due to some unfortunate happenings in the private sector, we’re going to cut this episode short. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more slices of the stupid pie. =)
Saturday Matinee – Computing Cams, 3D Sketch & Jacquelyn Adams
Simple mechanics: Cams!
Cool. More images here.
While looking for a decent live version of “Welcome to The Machine” I found this. Jacquelyn Adams‘ tribute to Pink Floyd [“Dr. Jacquelyn, Mr. Hyde,” Horn Day, 10 February 2012, York University, Toronto, Ontario] and it begins with that song.
Given the atrocities of yesterday, we might as well leave the number of vids posted at three, and the selections are in no way a commentary. Hug your kids and loved ones, pray for the victims, and we’ll be back here tomorrow.
