Julia Sherred's Geeky Pleasures

Well those wonderful songsmiths have done it yet again and submitted another round of really good music. It always impresses me how these people are able to write and produce a song in under a week. For the third round, the challenge was to write a song about a recipe. And yet again, it was very difficult for me to pick out...

Last night, voting for round 2 of Masters of Song Fu 6 began. The round 2 challenge was to write a song that did not have any traditional rhyming phrases. Repeated words and sentences were okay, traditional rhyming rules were not. Once again, I had trouble picking just 5 songs. The first 3 songs that I have chosen to vote for... 

This week’s Geek of the Week is once again a musical selection. The song is called Mathematical Birthday and it is by Edric Haleen (self proclaimed Math Geek.
