What makes a song “epic”? What criteria am I using?
It comes down to feel for me, and a bit of lucky happenstance. I have a lot of music in my collection (over 5000 songs in my personal CAFFEEN playlist), so a lot of the decisions are by feel. I listen to as many as I [...]
We continue with EPIC APRIL! With music this grand and broad, how can we not hope to force the flowers to bloom, the snow to vanish, and the temperature to rise!

Sriracha Lollipops?
I'm no fan of lollipops — never much cared for sweets — but this is rather tempting.. Lovingly Burn Your Mouth With Fancy Sriracha Lollipops Lollyphile! , maker of lavender lollipops to Absinthe lollipops, not only provides those classy and somewhat odd treats, but also provides a Sriracha [...]
And Here Is Where Mark Exercises Quickly-Learned Knowledge…
At least, that's what I'm hoping. If this works properly. the previous sentence will be bolded and placed as the title.
And no: this is not what I should be doing today. It's a total distraction. Actually, it's technically a distraction /from/ a distraction.
BWHOOONNGG!

I've Hit The Fourth Wall..
Well, I *might have hit it, if this post doesn't goes through.. I mean, the last one, in which I analyzed the power of "3" and then went off to speculate on the psychological and logical reasoning faculties that creates the high probability of success on odd numbers (and the [...]

The WEIRD Show
Weird news, strange ideas and odd views.
The WEIRD Show is my weekly roundup of those things usually treated as marginalia, curious little stories that most just read, laugh at, and dispose of, or disturbing things that reveal just a little bit of what this universe might hold. It's produced each week for CHSR-FM 97.9 in Fredericton airing at 9am on Saturday mornings, or afterward as a podcast on theweirdshow.com.
Wandering Out Loud
It is not necessary to have any destination in mind, in order to wander into interesting places.
Wandering Out Loud is an occasional wander both through physical and mental space. I muse about the world from my own particularly odd point of view, seeking to both illuminate and understand. It's done for myself, but you are welcome to join me and wander alongside.

Understanding Podcasting
Does anyone understand podcasting yet?
Podcasting fascinates me, as a new genre, a new medium, a new social media and a new way of communicating.
Occasionally, these fascinations turn into a podcast or blog post at one of my other blogs, Understanding Podcasting.
