Kiva project update: our fifth loan
Hello Cromrades, Once again it’s time to throw our money at a problem and see if we can’t make someone’s life a little better. Sadly (?), the loans that you suggested were already fully funded when I checked (less than 48 hours after you made the suggestion, I swear). So I just went with our …

SSA Blogathon Songathon: The Last of Barrett’s Privateers
I am clearly a bad Canadian, because I hadn’t heard of Stan Rogers before Ryan made this request: A great song though. My voice can’t do it justice. Compare this to the original here. Like this article? Follow me on Twitter!

SSA Blogathon songathon: Highway 61 Revisited
Here’s a little fact that most of you probably don’t know about me: I hate Bob Dylan’s music. Not only do I hate Bob Dylan’s music, but I don’t understand anyone who likes it.

Because I am an atheist: Hank Fox
Today’s contribution comes from the incomparable Hank Fox, author of Blue Collar Atheist. Because I am an atheist… …I understand that the real world is the real world. That means I know that praying — wishing, whining, begging, whatever you want to call it — doesn’t work. What works is doing it yourself. Hard work …

SSA Blogathon Songathon: Ziggy Stardust
Mike requested a David Bowie cover, and since I didn’t have a horde of goblins to do “Magic Dance” with me, I settled for this one: Compare this to the original here. Also, I have a new guitar. I haven’t named her yet, but I’m very excited about her. Like this article? Follow me on …

SSA Blogathon songathon: Mad World
Armored Scrum Object made the mistake of giving me a long list of songs to choose from, so I picked one I’ve been meaning to learn for a while now. Compare this to the original here. Like this article? Follow me on Twitter!
