Weekend Rarity and Video Game Orchestrals

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

I’ll be a rarity over the weekend with defensive driving on Saturday, outing to a petting zoo with toddler on Sunday, and Memorial Day on Monday.  I’ll probably only be active in early morning and the evening, so Hootsuite will be my Twitter friend.

I’m going to try to set up June Week 2’s posts too.  The topic will be Social Media Marketing and I’m trying to figure out an order.  Thinking Overview/Personal Stories, Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Smaller Sites (Pinterest, Google +, Tumblr, etc.) and post any tips people post in comments on that Saturday.  This is going by my personal experience, so there are probably some sites that others use more than me.  Feel free to ask any questions you want me to tackle or any sites you want me to mention in the comments below.

Now to regale people with orchestral versions of video game music.  Some of them are pretty long and the Mega Man one has a lot of audience cheering in it. Even if you don’t like the games, you have to admit some of these songs are great:

      I was aiming more for social media sites than the newsletter ones because a writer has more control there. I had no luck with ENT, so I don’t think I should be the one to talk about it. :/

    Defensive driving (ugh) I took a course four years ago and still get a birthday card from those folks. As if I want to remember. (court ordered to stay away from points)

    Loved the orchestral Supermario. It nearly always sounds like a parody when orchestras take on popular music, but I reckon Strauss would have been proud of that middle section
