Hello ladies and gents. I present to you the first (not by order of performance) musical artist: Saskrotch!

The melodies spewed out by this hulking character turned my head inside out and blew my mind so far into space it'd take warp 15 (a theoretical impossibility only known to Trekkies) to get back.

Seriously here are the pictures just clicky that picture here --->




So anyway we also have a video for ya! Brace yourselves!

I'm too busy laughing to comment on this. Maybe later...

Future Events came about because I wanted to display our Google Calendar on the site without using JavaScript or iframes. I like to avoid JavaScript because it makes the browser do extra work and some users block it anyway. Google Calendar lets you publish events from an iframe but the customization options are limited and the output doesn't match the look of our site. Thankfully, Google Calendar supplies public calendars with an RSS feed.

The Future Events widget is a combination of Google Calendar, Yahoo! Pipes and Blogger's Feed widget. The biggest hurdle was getting what I wanted out of Yahoo! Pipes. Yahoo! Pipes is a tremendous pain in the ass, especially when it comes to date handling. Nothing works the way you expect and it doesn't help that the modules are scantly documented. In the end I got what I wanted out of Yahoo! Pipes but it was a struggle.
