Another band for you. These guys have an 80′s feel which is simply awesome.

The Hilotrons

Love these guys, It’s sort of like a trip to the 80′s just listening to them, mixed in with modern synth and awesome lyrics.

It’s cover of a track called Failsafe by A.C. Newman (Yes I know that A.C. Newman is the frontman for that band)

There’s also another version of the track done by “The Choir Practice”

This post is probably going to get some really interesting google ads! :D

To what I hope is a great blog that you’ll enjoy. For the longest time I’ve had the dream of starting my own blog site. It started way back with a podcast called the Canadian Perspective Podcast. That died after first year in collage. It was fun, but I just got to busy to really have the time to even think about what to talk about.

Now with this blog I have the freedom to really put out some great content that’s…well..Geekish from a Canadian perspective. (Like how I brought that back eh?) To often I’ll look around the net and I see so many blogs and sites based around the stuff I love, but there’s not a lot that’s written by Canadians (Ars Techica being the exception).  That doesn’t mean that this site won’t have any international content just that it will be from the Canadian point of view.

So sit back and enjoy, and if you’re a Canadian who would like to contribute to the blog, give me a shout :)
