The Amazing Race-Team One

August 2, 2007

Team One - Lisa, Janine, and Sam

We asked the group to throw together some ideas on how youth interact with technology/the Internet. Here’s the response from team one…

Youth and Technology

Internet the place where I check my mail read up on interesting things And play some World of Warcraft
Where would the world of today be with out Internet most likely out side or something crazy like that, and the usage of technology in the ever advancing world.
Youth online today brings more studies in computer industries More job opportunity’s. I myself enjoy the online gaming
Leveling and chillin’ with friends all over the world talking to some one in Texas, California All over meeting friends
The internet is good for many things, What I would like to see 3D Games out there more advances in Laptops
and computer desktop, Personally I myself Would like to see the Halo graphics come to life Probably not going to happen
In my life time, But I would like to see the more kids online less drugs and more Internet

Youth and Technology

We asked the group to throw together some ideas on how youth interact with technology/the Internet. Here’s the response from team two…

I would like to see more of “safe” sites for younger kids. I also think there should be pop up blockers for more sites because not all pop up blockers are appropriate for younger kids. I think if the younger kids play on games they should get an adult to see if the game is appropriate like no sex, drugs or violence. There should be less virus’ because some people don’t know if theres going to be a virus or not. But so far they have been pretty good so far with keeping the pop ups not popping up. I think they should have more security for some sites that aren’t good for younger children. The internet is pretty safe but it could be better.

Homecoming Meet & Greet Music

August 2, 2007

Well, we’re halfway through Owen Sound’s 150th anniversary Homecoming celebrations, and it has been quite a party! The energetic height of the affair came on Tuesday night as Clock Strikes Music brought out the punky side of ska and whipped their all-ages crowd into an absolute frenzy. The kids were all right, moshing gleefully to the driving, pulsating rhythms of Angus Cruikshank on the drums, the pounding bass of Johnny Kulwartin, the strident anger of Ben Harris’ politically charged vocal delivery and the slashing skank rhythms of guitarist Dave Snider-Man. Clock Strikes Music truly rock out! To hear two sample tracks from their newly released self-titled CD just follow the link provided to their Local Musician Profile.

The show was opened by longtime friends and touring partners No Other Way. This reporter saw these two bands play together three years ago at Jason’s pub and was blown away by each of them way back then. On Tuesday night both bands showed serious progress.

I picked up a copy of the new Clock Strikes Music CD and have spent the morning listening to it. I love it. Many of the grooves take me back to old The Specials albums and The Clash’s album, “London Calling”. The production value is stellar, and their live energy is very much present. I’ve sent out a request to the fellas to find out where the new CDs are available locally. You can connect to Clock Strikes Music’s Myspace page through our Local Musician Profile and from there you can send them a CD request. When we find out more we’ll post the information.
