All Music is the Same Four Chords
As a musician, I heartily disagree with the title–what they mean is that quite a bit of POPULAR music depends on a 1-6-4-5 chord progression (as depicted in the video). But the accompanying video is still flabbergasting nonetheless.
Back to the Future: Photo Project
Neat concept of taking a picture from the past and recreating it with the same person in the present.

Education Rant, Bishop Mullet’s Hair Crimes, MadMen Game, and Trading Card Creator
Jeff Bliss’ Rant Against Lazy High School Teacher
Wow. This kid goes OFF on the state of education these days. LOTS of NSFW language, but the point is solid: students must be encouraged by teachers to get excited about learning, instead of being handed things to memorize for all the standardized tests. As a former teacher, I would have first been appalled, then shamed, then motivated to change if he had spoken this way to me.
