Some amusing bands you probably have never heard of (and a few you have)

Let's start with one you may have heard of They Might Be Giant, sample song "Istanbul." BTW if you've ever wondered how you dance to TMBG the answer is SLAM.   They also have released songs of kids music, highly recommended.





You may have heard of Flight of the Conchords, a lot of people caught the show.  Note this shock satire so if your going to share it make sure you know your audience. Sample song "Robots." 


Is your name Steve, ever wished you had your own custom merch, you do now.  Sample song "I am Steve."









 What if you want a folkier and more obscure version. Bug Hunter fits the bill, sample song "Disco! in the Panic Room" 





 The Real Zebos, more punkish. "Superspooky" is a nice novelty Halloween song.  They definitely get points for the funniest web site, and who else would cover sponge bob?

 Replacing My Basement Stairs I'm going to do this as a sort of short story/long story thing.  So in each section you can decide how much you want to read.  If there were lessons learned, I'll put those in two.

Long story: Our dyer had failed and we went out and bought a new one.  I knew our basement stairs were pretty dodgy so I figured before either a person and a dolly or two people and a hand crane caried  a 100 pound appliance down the stairs I should really evaluate their condition. Terminology: Before we go talk about stairs we need a little terminology.  The stringer is the saw-toothed piece that supports the treads, and if present risers are mounted to.  The tread is the horizonal part you tread on.  The riser appropriately is the vertical part that rises between treads.  Why the stringer is a stringer, I certainly don't know. Picture 1: Evaluation: Short Story...

 It has been forever since I've done any blogging.  My new goal is to get back go blogging and cover a couple of things every week or two.   This week I'll offer up four different things.    1. A really nice example on templates and polymorphism, plus interface classes.  This is one of the best compact examples I've seen in this space.   2. If I don't succeed at updating my blog some other people to follow, particularly on software. 3. A pointer to the z-y-x principle.  I think this does a really nice good job of illustrating how we end up fighting over the wrong things and often losing site of the real goal. 4. Results from rebuilding my basement steps.   Note, if you have an background in this it's a must not read.  However, if you are considering it as a DIY project who knows you might get some good advice.  I know I made my share of mistakes in this first project. 1. The template and polymorphism example is a blog...
