Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.

@spiderwebsoft They were great right up until the “click of death” ☠️. I still remember the stack of floppies next to a single Zip Disk at MacWorld Expo that year… still a well done marketing visual.

Look! A Zip drive! This came out around 1995 and was like a floppy disk drive but the discs were a lofty 100 MB. Awesome, revolutionary technology for around 5 minutes. Then instantly obsolete. I wish I still had some of the disks. They'd make amazing coasters.

Back to work. #SEVERANCE

@NWMMANDO That’s incredible! I love the work you put into this.

@CraigBaird It’s one of our favourite cosplays!

Did you ever see Rocket Robin Hood? It was a show that aired 53 episodes on CBC from 1966 to 1969, and it featured some of Canada's best voice actors! The premise of the show took the story of Robin Hood and moved it to the year 3000. Sherwood Forest became New Sherwood Forest Asteroid. There is Prince John and the Sheriff of N.O.T.T. (National Outer-Space Terrestrial Territories). One of the key animators of the show was Jean Mathieson, one of the first female animators in Canada. She went on to do animation work for Lorne Michaels and Wayne and Shuster. She later became a pioneer in CG animation using the National Research Council's computer in Ottawa. Len Birman provided the voice of Rocket Robin Hood, who went on to have 45 years in stage, screen and radio. Carl Banas voiced Dr. Manta and Titanor. He went on to have roles in the animated productions of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Spider-Man and as various characters on The Raccoons and Babar. Chris Wiggins voiced Will Scarlet, Infinata and Baron Blank. He also voiced No Heart on the Care Bears, and Mysterio in Spider-Man, among dozens of voice acting credits. Little John was voiced by Ed McNamara, who acted in 40 films from 1941 to 1986 and earned the first Earle Grey Award at the Gemini Awards. The show was narrated by Bernard Cowan, known for his work with The Pierre Berton Show, Wayne and Shuster, Spider-Man, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Front Page Challenge. As can be seen with the voice actors, the show had a strong connection to the animated Spider-Man with numerous voice actors taking part in both shows in Canada. As well, two Spider-Man episodes used recycled animation from Rocket Robin Hood. If you enjoy my Canadian history content, you can support my work with a donation at buymeacoffee.com/craigU

@pugganoche Torchwood never quite reached the heights of season 1 again, but I’d gladly take another season right now over what Doctor Who has been lately (aside from the return of Tennant).

@netw3rk Just wanted to say that you are doing such a great job as host of the Foundation podcast! Great questions, guests and just enough explanation to help keep each story straight. Keep up the awesome work! 👏

@pugganoche Oh wow, if I’d known I would have come visit (I’m living in Peterborough). Enjoy the Big Smoke and the Jays 😄

All about rodenticides! @BirdFriendlyLdn hired me to make this comic with a grant from @NatureCanada. Rodenticides are harming my local raptors so it's an issue that's close to my heart.

Can’t wait for the @PtboRFM to open the first week of May in @Ptbo_Canada! They are already working on the preliminary setup 🥕🥬

John Candy has one line in this SCTV sketch -- and he makes the most of it.

@pugganoche Should I be buying a Ryu jersey now in anticipation? 🤪

@hedgeforvideo Nice work with the OffShoot licensing change. 👍 It makes ingesting while flip-flopping between a field computer and the main editing computer much easier.

@terryoinfluence Speaking of the @TorontoLibrary, a huge shout-out to the #TorontoReferenceLibrary. Not only is it a stunning building, but they have a membership plan for out-of-towners to delve into some fantastic books that can’t be found anywhere else, or are out of circulation.

Today we talk about the most creative library marketing ideas. They're clever. They're funny. Libraries are giving major brands a run for their money. 11:30am CBC Radio #ApostrophePodcasts
