I've always been a tinker. I started by taking stuff apart. Then I learned how to put stuff back together, then how to fix it. It's a way of life for me really. http://justatinker.com

I have about 3,000 hours of field recordings from Celtic harp to death metal.
It's easily the largest singular collection of local musical talent that anyone has ever complied.
I saw the writing on the wall in the early 2000s and knew this was the only way I could keep my radio show relevant.

You like science fiction so you should listen to a recent show I did that covered science fiction and fact in both words and music.
I've also spent the last quarter century making field recording of hundreds of music events from every genre.
The Manor Park Afternoon Post variety show is one of them.

I've been a show host at a university radio station since 1982.
Mostly I've done weekly all night shows but I also did a weekly prime time folk music show for a decade.
I didn't miss a show during the pandemic by producing them at home and sending them to the station to be aired at the show's time.

Canadian officials rescue 23 people who floated away on ice sheet Members of the group described harrowing moments, with more cracks forming as they looked for the thickest ice.

This didn't happen on the ice flows of the Atlantic but near Owen Sound just north of Toronto. The weather is warming. Be super careful on the ice my friends.

Post Text Formatter: LinkedIn Bold Text & More Styles - Chrome Web Store Easily add LinkedIn bold text, italics, 15+ styles & lists. Instant formatting for LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Threads & Pinterest.

Here's the text formatter I use for other sites like facebook but it doesn't work well with BlueSky.
When you highlight text in an input field, a text format bar pops up to choose the style from.
The only downside to using π˜ͺ𝘡𝘒𝘭π˜ͺ𝘀𝘴 & 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 type in social media posts is that screen readers ignore it. πŸ™‡

Attention vampires don't care if their virtual blood to feed his thirst comes from lovers or haters.
Worry, fear, adoration, it's all digestible to him. 🧐

"oil prices up 50%... But I still want to emphasize one thing. Yeah, that hurts at the pump. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what's worse? War. And so we shouldn't trivialize the big issues here, which is, you know, we're at war with Iran. Big deal for young American troops. Big deal for the Iranians."

My parents told us about rationing during WW II.
But both my parents served their country well.
My Italian/Canadian father joined the army but was discharge for medical reasons after boot camp.
My German/Canadian mother became a steel plant mill crane operator moving 10 ton coils of steel at age 18.

America has much cheaper gasoline prices than Canada and Europe so they have no right to complain until they're on par or higher.

I just read about the that 100 story tower with the crane being built in Toronto. 😲
I went up the CN Tower less than a year after it opened, it seems kind of sacrilegious to think that an apartment is at the same level as the CN Tower's restaurant.

Despite the chaos Venezuela, the threat to Greenland/Denmark, the horrifying violence in Iran, Donald Trump has never wavered for a moment from his determination to break Canada.
