Row Row Polyphony: “An imitative polyphony can best be described as when you were younger in music class and the teacher would have one side of the class start singing “row row row your boat” and then part way through the song have the other half of the class start singing from the beginning.

A possible radio bumper for my group’s radio show, Wacky History! I wanted to have old timey music and to keep it relatively simple, because that’s just…how I like things to be.

pic.twitter.com/K5abZ2XtV0 — Rachel Stanford (@rach_stanford23) October 6, 2015 The poor outlet is so scared! This is pareidolia, right?

Here is an example of a pareidolia. A pareidolia is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful, image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. This is a actual tree, but it is in the shape of a ballerina. I instantly the human figure instead of a tree. Here is it linked to my twitter … Continue reading Go on a hunt for pareidolia

This isn’t a homework post. This isn’t even a really important post. I just figured, since it’s been haunting me all week and the site just relaunched today, I’d say: NaNoWriMo is Coming Soon! NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, as you can assume from the title, is an incredible month where hundreds of thousands […]

Every weekend has a weekend? Well I guess it does Brad.. No the actual lyrics are every week has a weekend.
