A New Sampler Please!
Dear Santa, I have had my eye on this device for a few years now. It is a Roland MV 8000 Professional Studio. I’ve been drooling over this piece of tech ever since I saw an advertisement for it in Scratch magazine. I loved making beats when I was younger. I haven’t really done it […]

DC Universe DVD Collection
This is the second entry in My Proverbial Wish List. It’s a box set of the animated movies from DC comics. DC produces some great animation. Their movies tend to be a bit darker and are meant for mature audiences, unlike the Saturday morning cartoon shows. My regular readers will know that I don’t have […]

Classic Transformers
I absolutely loved Transformers when I was a kid. It wasn’t a show about toys. It wasn’t just about robots that could change into cars, airplanes, or guns. It was so much more. These robots were real. They had motives, they had character traits, and you couldn’t help but get completely pulled in to the […]

My Proverbial Wish List
You know what’s funny? Up until yesterday, I didn’t really think about Christmas gifts for myself. I was convinced that I didn’t need anything. Perhaps that is true in a sense. I’ve had a lot of great Christmases and I don’t need to just accumulate stuff. I have pretty much everything that I need in […]

Christmas Concert – Relatively Painless
School Christmas concerts can be an agonizing affair. I know from experience. Fortunately, so does our principal. She is new to the school but she had some great ideas about how to make tonight’s performances go smoothly. The first change was that we didn’t use the stage. It has terrible acoustics anyway. What we did […]

Give Me The Tools to Do My Job
Until you have done it, you will never know how difficult a job it is to get in front of two-dozen kids each and every day and try to teach them. There are so many obstacles that need to be overcome on a daily basis. Some students make no qualms about the fact that they […]

Recommended Reads – Grease Monkey
I just love the public library. I can’t tell you how many books I have discovered there, quite by accident, that have made it onto my all-time favourites list. This book is just the latest addition. I’m only half way through it but it has totally pulled me into this fictional world. I stayed up […]
