An evening pause: Performed live 1970. A real taste of the sixties, even if this took place just after the decade ended.

An evening pause: Taken from the album Viva Elvis, which is the soundtrack remix of Presley’s Cirque du Soleil show. From the youtube webpage:
Viva Elvis features new backing instrumentation on each track in an attempt to modernize the arrangements. This has met with a mixed critical response, with some reviewers praising the production quality and others opining that Elvis’s music is best left untampered with.

An evening pause: Watch a painting go from blank canvas to finished work. A work I would love to hang in my office.
May everyone have a great weekend.

An evening pause: Someday relatively soon, this prototype will be available for purchase, though at present it does not appear to me to be ready for prime time.. Where would you go this weekend if you had one?
Hat tip Cotour, who adds, “I bet you did not know that there is now a flying barbeque. I like mine medium rare.”
An evening pause: Performed live 2015. Stay with it. Though the opening is less appealing, it gets far better.

An evening pause: From the original 1960s television show, which was actually quite funny and original (unlike the turgid 1991 movie).
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
An evening pause: This “music” video intentionally illustrates why I prefer live performances over most “official” music videos that show a fake visual story under the music, as if that story and the music have something to do with each other, when they never really do. This video instead shows us what the music video would sound like if you focused instead on this fake story. Quick funny at times.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette, who writes, “Great concept! What happens when you take a Music Video and de-emphasize the music & band performance, and concentrate on the story being told in the background?”
An evening pause: A science quiz I suspect most of my readers will get right. Regardless, this experiment illustrates some basic fundamentals of the scientific method: Don’t guess, make no assumptions, test by experimentation, and repeat those tests multiple times to confirm your results.
The Institute that made this video appears to be a great resource for homeschoolers.
Hat tip Cotour, who tells me he “got it correct!”
To everyone: Enjoy the Labor Day weekend!
