RIP Gord Downie

Gord Downie  1964-2017

Gone too soon. The front-man to Canada's band. So many iconic songs about what it is to be Canadian, but one of my favorites below. You will be missed.

Leonard Cohen 1934-2016

Sad to hear the news about the passing of Leonard Cohan yesterday. An extremely talented poet, songwriter and singer and a great Canadian. He will be missed.

Seemed appropriate for today.

and one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs.

David Bowie 1947 - 2016

The world lost one more talented, creative soul yesterday. An artist that involved in the soundtrack of the lives of many people all over the world and who had a incredible influence over music, style and pop culture.

David Bowie was a bit of a touchstone in my life. Specifically his duet with Bing Crosby back in 1977. I remember watching that with my Grandfather (he was a big fan of Bing). But also many of his songs seem to follow along at interesting points of my life. The planet just lost something unique and special. Condolences to his family.

not to mention.....what will happen to The Guild of Calamitous Intent?!?

Best thing I have seen in weeks

I have seen all kinds of cool stuff in the last few weeks. Videos, TV shows, movies. But I think this just might be the neatest thing I have seen in a few weeks. It just made me smile.

Footage from Star Trek (TOS), made into a video for William Shatner's "Common People", from his album "Has Been" - released 2004. Just brilliant.
