Technorama Day – 10/1

Saturday October 1 is Technorama Day. Why? Because we always sign off our show with a “binary high five” and, of course, five in binary is 1-0-1 (but you already knew that.) So Saturday is October 1, or 10/1 (in the US anyway) – that makes it Technorama Day – we say so. Hey! Someone had to claim March 14 (3/14) as “Pi Day” and that’s only accurate to two decimal places. Sheesh! Ours is binary, it’s perfectly suited for integers. Spread the word and show your geekness. Sure, you’ll get a few “Techno-what-day?” Just respond “Man, I thought you were cool!” Then steer them here. That always works for me.

Star Wars – Throne Room Theme on Floppy Drives

Chuck passed this little gem along. I’m not sure how many floppy drives this guy/gal had to go through to find just the right tones but it was worth it. Hm, how does one tune a floppy drive anyway?

Stop Forwarding that Crap to Me

This is the first song of Weird Al’s that hasn’t made me cringe. And I feel the need to bookmark this in some public way. So when my mom discovers this song three years from now, I can point to something to make her stop forwarding that crap to me.

Well, not really. But it could be true if I ever check what gets caught in that “mom” filter I setup.
