Yesterday I decided to go through and make sure my RSS feeds in my reader were up to date. I ended up dropping a couple where they haven’t posted anything in a while (a year), and decided that while I was doing it I’d try to see if feeds were available for some websites that [...]
If you are anything like me and grew up in the 80’s, you probably went to Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza for someone’s birthday or some other special occasion, or maybe you just went for the fun on it. Both places had, in their dining hall, animatronic bands that would play songs while you [...]
