It's time for our usual Tuesday look around the world to see what's happening!
- Microsoft is putting out another Windows product that will completely revolutionize computing as we know it. At least that's what the computer geeks say.
- The Hubble telescope is broken again. I hope those astronauts can get off it in time.
- The Miss America pageant was held and if anyone bothered to watch it, it was to see the amazing amount of "talent" that these young ladies have.
- Yes, I know that there are no astronauts on the Hubble telescope.
In other words, nothing new is going on.
This week's theme:
1993
This week, after watching your FDA daily recommendation of I Heart the 90s, (here and here), let us consider a shining example of the musical video given to us by the year that was 1993.
Today, we pay tribute to the greatest white Canadian rapper one-hit wonder of 1993: Snow. His delightfully titled disc 12 Inches of Snow was released, powered by the completely incomprehensible single "Informer"
- Nah, couldn't be.
- Did anyone else think that this song was about a farmer?
- According to Wikipedia, Snow is related to Barenaked Ladies' Steven Page (According to this, they are second cousins)
- Oh yeah, here are the actual lyrics
- Nah, couldn't be.
- If I'm not mistaken, this song is actually about both booty shaking and police brutality at the same time.
- Nah, couldn't be.

The following item is from the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union. It's apparently "freezing" in Jacksonville.
Then, I clicked on the five-day forecast for Jacksonville. The horror... it's going to be 70 degrees on Thursday.
