AN REM HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

Posted by Infonistacrat on Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I’m sitting here in the Detroit airport, waiting on my wifes plane to get in from Cali, and decided that instead of working, it would be better to listen to some music, write up a post, and have a little fun. I can only take work so long, and besides, everyone else in my [...]

SHUFFLING THE iPOD, DAY 3

Posted by Infonistacrat on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Last day in a hotel room for a few days…tomorrow, I am heading home. Sometimes, even with the roughest of jobs, you get a week where the stars align, the universe opens up, and everything goes well. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a beautiful thing. And make no [...]

BACK TO THE FUTURE, I GUESS

Posted by Infonistacrat on Monday, June 29th, 2009

Well, I had the new theme up for a bit, but there were a few tweaks I just could not get worked out. Mainly, I simply could not get it to work with Wordpress Stats. There were a few other things that kind of bugged the hell out of me, that I could [...]

THE LIGHTER SIDE OF 90′S POP

Posted by Infonistacrat on Friday, September 5th, 2008

So, I am stepping WAYYY outside my comfort zone on this post. Normally, I don’t post sugary pop music, but you know, I came across that Iron Man remake by Cardigans, and it just kind of came together. Thus, a post of some of the lighter tunes that came out of a decade that truly rocked (see my post from yesterday is you have any doubts that the 90’s rocked).

I won’t lie…sometimes I am a total puss when it comes to music…the oddest songs catch my ear, and these tunes all caught my ear for one reason or another. Take for instance the Mellisa Etheridge song. There’s two reasons for that. First, in the 90’s I was going to school to be an electrical engineer. (Yep, I’m an engineer by training that has always worked in IT) One of my better friends, and a member of my brutally efficient and totally genius study group was a lesbian who LOVED Etheridge. So she kind of got me hooked on her stuff for awhile. The second thing was the video for the song. For some reason I had a huge thing for Juliette Lewis. I’m a sucker for the freaks, and that girl I believe to be a super freak.

You’ll also notice Digital Underground and ask yourself “Has the Infonoistacrat gone totally insane?!?” Well, no. That’s my tribute to my old shipmates on the USS Coral Sea. We LOVED that damn song in 1990, the last year we were all together before we all left the Navy and went our separate ways.

Oh, and I just read that there may be a new Big Lebowski movie based on The Jesus character. I now officially have something to live for!
