Rubénerd Blog :)

Media

Photos, music, video, screenshots and associated commentary whatnot. I could have phrased that better. I also have accounts on Flickr, Libre.fm (formerly with Last.fm) and Whole Wheat Radio.

What’s a Mall Et?

I'm protesting because Itchy & Scratchy are indirectly responsible for my husband being hit on the head with a mallet

I’m taking a break from anime backgrounds for a while (stop the presses!) for this photo taken of the Dequindre Cut in Detroit of all places!

Encyclopedia Brand Generica

Tradelink

Am I the only one who gets a bit frustrated when I see a brand and either thing the company sells something else, or when the brand is so generic the company literally could be selling anything?

Bruce Schneier facts, again!

Bruce Schneier

Back in 2006 I posted some of my favourite Bruce Schneier facts. Here we are in 2010 and I still read ones that make me laugh out loud!

WWR artist of the day 02: Chicago Blues Reunion

Given I already linked to John Gorka from Whole Wheat Radio yesterday, I thought it’d be fun to do an artist of the day thingy here for a week and see what new stuff I discover. Today’s band is one I’d never heard before, but they hands down do the best rendition of Born in Chicago that I’d ever friggen heard in my life, the Chicago Blues Reunion!

I could transcribe their description, but best to go to their artist page and see for yourself; from there you can also see their links to other social networks and even request some of their songs and the WWR audio stream will accommodate :).

Yo BBC, leave the Asian Network & 6Music alone

BBC

I’m not British, I don’t live in the UK and the only radio station I’ve listened to in the Isles is Today FM in The Republic, but a ton of my English friends are up in arms about this latest move by the BBC to chop programming, so I’m doing my bit to help spread the word, however trivially insignificant it’ll be in the grand scheme of things; wow this was a really long sentence.

Melissa Mitchell and Spiff WWR concert

Melissa Mitchell and Spiff Whole Wheat Radio concert

Spiff: Is it cool if I swear?
Jim: Yeah, we encourage it!
Spiff: Really?! Man I love this f*cking place!

A heads up in case you’ve forgotten, the Melissa Mitchell and Spiff house concert at Whole Wheat Radio will be starting 20:00 Alaska time, which translates to 13:00 Singapore and 15:30 Aussie Central Daylight Whatsit.

Recently I wanted to ask my dad if he’d got his new bicycle frame yet, but I didn’t want to confuse him into thinking I was talking about his motorbike — which he also owns but needs some repairs — so I asked about his acoustic bike. Allegedly he’s still telling his friends about his dopey son :D.

Anyway I’m frantically off down the road to get a cup of coffee before it starts!
