Blue Rodeo On World Cafe

jamieLeave a comment

Blue Rodeo has been one of my favorite bands forever. I met the band in the early 90s in little pub in Steamboat Colorado, where they were playing for like $2 cover I think. Try as I might, I couldn’t convince any of them to come to a party down the street that a friend was throwing. So I picked up a copy of ‘5 Days In July’ on my way out the door (on cassette i think…lol), and that was that. These guys have inspired me over and over, and I’m really glad I grabbed that tape!

Calling all geeks…

The Quantum Revolution has a new champion, and it’s Zoe Saldana. In “Quantum is Calling,” a short film collaboration between Caltech, Cinestar and Trouper Productions, Saldana loses Simon Pegg’s cat in the quantum realm and uses physics and deduction to get him back.

When Pegg’s cat disappears, Saldana goes straight to the top for help. She Skypes Dr. Stephen Hawking (after a failed attempt to contact Paul Rudd) to decipher the riddle of Schrodinger’s ransom.

Venezuela seizes 4m toys to distribute to poor children as Christmas gifts

This is a really cool Christmas story. The government of Venezuela raids a toy company and seizes 4 million toys to distribute to the poor, charging company executives with price gouging while they were at it. Democratic socialism at work. ALL kids deserve to have a Merry Christmas. Not just the rich kids. Socialism is not like Communism. It’s more like Capitalism with a social justice mechanism. Make as much money as you want…after you make sure that nobody goes without.
