SBS2008 is quickly rolling through its beta testing and the official release has been set for Nov 12, 2008. So, i thought it would only be appropriate to get people fired up by putting together a small tribute to the past versions of SBS, and a look forward...
Wed Feb-6-2008 is known as Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent for most Christian denominations. This is a period of 40 days of fasting and praying, and is symbolic of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert and the 40 years the Israelites spent...
First, I wish everyone a very safe, joyous and wonderful Christmas holiday. Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement to me this past year as I suffered through several physical problems and illnesses. On my road to recovery, I decided to step...
Well, here it is ... Christmas eve! And whether or not you celebrate Christmas, it's still a wonderful time of the year to reflect on all the good things that people have done for us this past year. The movie Pay It Forward from a few years ago showed...
I love finding non-traditional Christmas songs that include a universal message of joy and peace, no matter what your particular religious or spiritual slant may be. We have just a short time on this earth, and we should strive to make it a better place...
Well as I check the weather this morning, here's what I see for the forecast highs today: Seattle 38F , Sacramento 29F , Omaha 24F , Dallas 56F , New York 36F , New Orleans 63F , and Tampa 57F . And for our non-US readers, we have: London 46F/7C ...
I just finished watching "The Polar Express" with my daughter tonight. It's become a family tradition to make some hot chocolate and drink it while watching Tom Hanks sing the "Hot, Hot, Hot Chocolate" song in the movie. We all...
One of my top three Christmas albums of all times is Bing Crosby's White Christmas , first released in 1945. If you want to know my other top two Christmas albums, keep reading past the song lyrics. Bing and the Andrews Sisters, a cup of hot chocalate...
Although the words to Deck the Halls, as we know it, were written in the 19th century, the melody is a Welsh tune from the 1700's. It is truly amazing how universal music is, and can be. Hopefully, it does bring us closer together, and perhaps the...
What do you want for Christmas this year --- more presents? or more patches from Microsoft? For children of all ages, Christmas can be a time of excitement and wonder. For Christians, Christmas celebrates the birth of the Son of God. For computer geeks...
Here in Florida, we had a cold front come through last night ... dropping the temperature from the 90's(F) to the 30's (F) yesterday. Now, we're ready to start talking Christmas and fireplaces and roasted chesnuts. And, along with all the...
Oh, boy ... only 10 more shopping days 'til Christmas! Generally, I wait until Dec 23rd to start my shopping. The way I see it, by waiting until the end, then all the shelves are fairly empty, which makes selecting a gift that much easier :-) So,...
OK, we're going to give you a break from my bad Christmas parodies. Chris Pirillo has his own selection of Christmas song parodies. He one-ups me by doing it bt creating his own MP3 recording. The song I selected is his take of the Eliv Presley's...
The streets and stores are already busy with holiday shoppers. Some stores had Christmas decorations up even before Thanksgiving. Can you believe that it was a year ago when many wanted to know when Vista would be released? So, today's song is dedicated...
Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas", from the movie of the same name, is a traditional favorite of mine. It reminds me to not take for granted the blessings that we enjoy each and every day. And for this holiday, perhaps a new Windows Home...
Not all songs during Christmas are religious or spiritual in nature. The holiday season is also a time to remind us of good memories and friends who are there for us through thick and thin. In the seven years I have been lurking around the SBS public...
Here in Florida the temperature is 70 degrees F (21 C) - not quite the right temperature for snow to fall or to build a snowman. Instead of my usual parody today, I came across a great version of the Christmas song, 'O Little Town of Bethlehem'...
For December 2nd we go to a song whose words were written by Charles Wesly in 1739, but the melody for the song as we know it came from Felix Mendelssohn almost 100 years later (1840). Help! My Server Just Now Crashed (aka Hark! The Herald Angels Sing...
We kick off December with the first of 25 Christmas / Holiday song parodies. We start with one of my favorites, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Listen Said the PC to the little Mac, Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?) Way up over there...
If you read my May 19, 2007 Song you know I've been dealing with kidney stones literally for the last month. This was my first, and I agree wholeheartedly with everyone who says that next to childbirth, nothing is more painful! I finally passed the...
