Alanis Morissette @ IL State Fair Grandstand feat Tenille Townes
Alanis Morrissette, singing Ironic, the first song she has actually heavily encouraged audience participation in, and her mic goes out. The audience had already been doing like 50-75% of the song without her so the band just continued and no one noticed until it came back a few seconds later. It's it Ironic? Don't cha think? Last night, I went and saw Alanis Morrissette perform at the Illinois State Fair. In traditional fashion, I'm going to ramble on a bit about the whole night's experience. For the sake of simplicity, you can get a bit more highlights about my love…

My Computing Journey – Part 2 – Franklin PC-8000
Welcome to part 2 of my history with computers. Let's start getting to a much more robust part of my computer using history.

Weekly Wrap-Up (08.06.2023 to 08.12.2023)
Weekly Wrap-Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023) Another week, another weekly wrap-up. This is technically the trickiest post I'm doing right now, since it's the only thing I can't really pre-write up. If I were not trying to do 31 days of posts for Blaugust it wouldn't matter, I'd just, skip it sometimes probably. Not a lot new or exciting anyway. I had some craziness at work but I don't blog about work. Probably the most exciting thing this week was Guardians of the Galaxy 3 coming to Disney+, so I finally got to watch that. It's not exactly glowing praise, but…

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill
Here's another album for the "This is already so popular" list of albums, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Per Wikipedia, it's the 13th biggest-selling album, ever, and the 3rd biggest put out by a woman. There is a good chance that you've at least heard a song from this album, somewhere. It's an album that really sort of embodied a lot of the 90s feel at the time. It's an album that I listened to a lot in High School and beyond, and it's a strong strong contender for "Most listened to album". I like to track music as much…
