Elected to do something a little different from the usual (in that it's not the typical cutesy stamp I reach for) and use this week's Mojo Monday and my Paper Inspirations coneflower stamp to create this one.For all my American PSFs, enjoy your fourth of July. I think I will be doing a combination of cleaning the basement (still), working in the garden (still) and maybe a free Stampede breakfast should I feel inspired to be out in something beside my grubby gardening clothes.

This is a new segment that I am rolling out about the Students' Union at the University of Calgary and it is very exciting. I was going to start this segment awhile ago but since the University of Calgary has once again disappointed students, I thought I would start this up. However, this blog post may attract the U of C and they may actually charge me with non-academic misconduct if I spoke out against them. So much for freedom of speech, but I have decided that this is more important that me receiving non-academic probation. Besides the Gauntlet, this will be the only blog that I know of to report exclusively on the S.U. and its wonderfulness.

A while ago my friend Mike Edel performed a show here in Calgary, and as he had let me use one of his songs (Turn the lights on Bright) which is featured on my website right now, I promised to take my gear and snag some performance shots for him.  He had 2 other friends join him, Sjoerd Meyer and Kaley Bird.  Overall it was a great show, lots of energy, and all three of these guys are great artists I would highly recommend! 

You can listen to some of their sounds at the following websites:

Would like to say hi to all Stampede fans and thank the the Calgary Stampede for putting on a first class show.  Today started early with contestants meeting at the rodeo office at 6:45 am to leave for the parade.  From there they shuttled us all to a Stampede kickoff breakfast down town.  It was really neat to see the various VIPs in attendance such as the Mayor of the City and high ranking military personal there.  With that I would like to thank all military personal that serve our country and sacrifice so much to protect our freedom and way of life.  I just can’t express how much respect I have for these men and women.

Communist North Korea has embraced an eminently capitalist concept by airing on state TV what is likely to be its first beer commercial.The advert, aired on Thursday, said that Taedonggang beer, with a unique scent and fresh taste, will help them ease stress and lead healthy lives because it is has been made with the finest ingredients under strict scientific conditions.

A 3 minute commercial!

One of my favourite books, Society of the Spectacle, was made into a "movie" by it's author Guy Debord. Debord was part of an artistic collective called The Situationist International and they influenced folks as diverse as Abbie Hoffmann and Malcolm McLaren, manager of the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols. I had given up hope of ever seeing the movie version of Society of Spectacle, assuming that the film was ultimately lost and forgotten, but here it is, on YouTube.

Zachary Quinto, seriously sexy, but in that way that defies comprehension, I often suggest is, um, a pretend heterosexual, earning the ire of Quinto fans, followed by demands for proof. Meet Zachary’s newest “friend” – Levi Poulter, a male model for those men who enjoy men, out about Monday past with Quinto. A warning: the link, a portfolio of Levi’s work, is decidedly NSFW. Proof enough?

This music video was shot for Sour's 'Hibi no Neiro' (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album 'Water Flavor EP'. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.Director: Masashi Kawamura + Hal Kirkland + Magico Nakamura + Masayoshi Nakamura

Youtube LinkThat's really cool! Must take alot of coordination and editing!
