Le corbeau (1986)
After twenty-five or thirty years, I’m getting really burned out on 1980s pop sung in English but I seem to be developing a really big soft spot for the French stuff.
Seriously, who knew the world of Archie Comics was so contentious and fraught with such corporate intrigue. Must have something to do with all those homos who have been moving in lately.
This is the kind of thing that gives all my various geek organs simultaneous stiffies. The Times article with “then and now” features is not bad either. The really cool thing is that this is not a terribly complicated nor expensive project.
I have purchased my first Canadian domain name (which is something I am now allowed to do.) I’m not really doing anything but redirecting it to an existing domain just yet, but maybe someday…

Dirty Water (1987)
More CanCon (that I vaguely remember from the actual 1980s) for your viewing pleasure.
NC Considers Making Sea Level Rise Illegal
There is virtually universal agreement among scientists that the sea will probably rise a good meter or more before the end of the century, wreaking havoc in low-lying coastal counties. So the members of the developers’ lobbying group NC-20 say the sea will rise only 8 inches, because … because … well, SHUT UP, that’s because why.
That is, the meter or so of sea level rise predicted for the NC Coastal Resources Commission by a state-appointed board of scientists is extremely inconvenient for counties along the coast. So the NC-20 types have decided that we can escape sea level rise – in North Carolina, anyhow – by making it against the law. Or making MEASURING it against the law, anyhow
