Also, I love that MTV video. Some of the people who worked on that animation went on to work on a CGI kids adventure show called ReBOOT. It was a cool show about life inside an older computer called Mainframe, with various human and non-human inhabitants called Sprites. Bob, who is a Guardian from The Web, has come to live in Mainframe and protect it. He is forming a romantic relationship with Dot Matrix, a businesswoman who has several businesses in Mainframe. Most of the trouble comes from two viruses in the system: Megabyte and Hexadecimal. Anyway, for Dot's younger brother Enzo's birthday (he is about to age from 01 to 10), they interview local talent in order to put on a show. One of the failed auditions is a two-person band named The Dires that looks a little familiar:

That video has also apparently been parodied by other groups. I agree with the viewpoint of the first group, and I disagree with the viewpoint of the second group. I can't fault their sense of humor and technical capabilities, however.

Thought I'd pop a video in. This is one of my favourite scenes in an episode of the British Sci Fi Comedy series Red Dwarf from the early 1990s.

If you haven't seen it or don't know it: Mr Rimmer is a hologrammatic crew member of a group of 4 characters who gets abducted by a crew of other holograms in this episode. The main cast is 4 characters - a group of effectively space bums, all male, with no sex life, and Rimmer is generally disliked by is other crewmates. He's known in the show for having had only one brief sexual liaison with the ship's female boxing champion during his lifetime "12 minutes...and that includes the time it took to eat the pizza".... I like this scene...

Here it is:

So, it was "Sail away"... and it was Joe Cocker, but I was right about the beer

While at Thule Greenland on my first real world Air Force assignment, I was sent to our Air/Ground (A/G) Radio Receiver site to check out a receiver that wasn't working. This my first official check and repair "fix-it" assignment in the Air Force.

I drove to the site, pulled the receiver from the rack, opened the book and did some tests. I got to a suspicious capacitor, disconnected one lead and tested it just like this gent did here. It tested bad, so I pulled a new one from stock, wired it in and put the receiver back together. I put it back into the rack and notified the tower. They got a radio check at 200 miles and declared it fixed. Man, I was so proud of myself, lol. I guess that's obvious, since I still remember it so well, lol.

I have discovered wood-working videos on YT as well, from small stuff up to tree trunks. Found that interesting. People with talent really impress me.

I know he talked about making something and did some work on it back before you joined us. Vicky would probably remember more. But it's no biggie. I've used it numerous times. This time, I used the "URL" tag for a reason.

I wish I would have, because I would be rich and famous.

All smack aside, I do remember trying to develop a tag here for embedding new media....but that was when I was an active moderator here waaaaay back when. I do hope that it worked well.
