Children's Day

Saturday, 9. May 2009, 14:42:46

common sense, Korea

May 5 is Children's Day in S. Korea. You can see Children's Day for each country in the wiki.

The origin of Children's Day in South Korea is truely special because it is one person's endeavor and devotion.

In 1923, Bang Jeong-Hwan, a social educator, suggested that May 1 should be established as Children's day, and he made it public via campaigns. There was no Children's day before that. In 1946, the Children's day was just moved to May 5. He ~~even invented~~ popularized the word in Korean for "children" (어린이) which ~~did not previously exist~~ is not popular in the Korean language.
(correction : source : Korean language)

He made many stories and songs for kids. He launched campaigns and movements for kids and children rights. He left a will when he die : "A black horse and black carriage is waiting for me in front of my door. I'm leaving children. Please take care of them."

For commemorating his work, Children's Day is a national holiday in South Korea.

Queen Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix

This is an incredible and awesome video.

This is dedicated to all fans of Queen and hey let's not forget about Mike Myers and Dana Carvey of Wayne's World.
No effects or sampling was used. What you see is what you hear (does that even make sense?)
Atari 800XL was used for the lead piano/organ sound
Texas Instruments TI-99/4a as lead guitar
8 Inch Floppy Disk as Bass
3.5 inch Harddrive as the gong
HP ScanJet 3C was used for all vocals. Please note I had to record the HP scanner 4 seperate times for each voice. I tried to buy 4 HP scanners but for some reason sellers on E-Bay expect you to pay $80-$100, I got mine for $30.
I keep hearing parts of the song are out of tune. Keep in mind the scanner and floppy drive are not musical instruments. These are mechanical devices whose motors tend to drift and can cause some notes to be out of tune.
