My first Lindens for terraforming! Hoot!

  I have been busy, and that will be my excuse for my short articles.  Things are pretty good, hehehe… my cold has been letting up, and even better so has the one I gave my other half.  Smiles… So what better way to enjoy a cold (and the wonderful snow outside) then making cool [...]

Does This Still Happen? – Did Coldplay copy Joe Satriani?

You probably heard the news, Joe Satriani is suing Cold Play over the song “Viva La Vida” sounding like his “If I Could Fly.” When I first heard about it, thoughts of George Harrison and “My Sweet Lord” came to mind.  Uggga… I thought… Does this still happen? So I had not only heard clips [...]
