The Internet Rocks, sometimes

Friday, April 17th, 2009

For years, I’ve had a song in the back of my head that I wanted identified.  I finally used one of my AskMe’s to query the crowd, and sure enough, FrotzOzmoo had the right answer, Doop by Doop.  But it gets better, turns out the full album the track comes from, is available on emusic.

Oh internet, you come thru again.

UPDATE:  13 frickin version?!?  techno-nostalgia-overload

Small Nostalgiac World

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

20-30 years ago, halfway around the world, a boy found wonder and escape in a book that mixed science fiction, historical facts, and a very British space comic, into one memorable, albeit confusing, book.

The other day, I stop in the hobby store down the street, a once a year expedition, and find it again.  Just as I remembered.

What’s crazy is, I was about to waste an AskMe question to figure out the title, and here the actual book drops into my lap, and on sale even.
