People who are familiar with me know all too well how much I love music. Music has changed my life more times than the number of moons on Jupiter. But as I walk through the beautiful picture that is my life, I couldn't help but...

How many of you have played with tricks involving music and videos? The popular example involved people playing Dark Side of the Moon while watching The Wizard of Oz. Do any of you out there try such tricks?

It might seem strange to some of you who have only been around only a couple decades that there was a time when you could only do one thing with a phone - talk on it. You couldn't text anyone. You couldn't carry it around in...

Tyler Zahnke @just4him Thank you! You are helping me quite a bit! But isn't it technically my project? If I didn't write these little blogs, I'd still be at zero, right?

I've been telling myself for a long time now that I'm going to visit all the people I follow, especially since I don't seem to see some of you very often. I did that this morning. I haven't touched my notifications yet today,...

Tyler Zahnke I've mostly been having fun online, listening to my own mixtapes, and showing my mixtapes to the world. The mixtape culture is the whole reason I started using the name Mini Nifty for certain projects, and I'm trying to spread awareness of this odd genre of...

Tyler Zahnke @just4him I think I knew what you were talking about; I was just making a comparison. But we truly live in a nation of nifty! I mean, the fact that people are making money via social media platforms is living proof! Maybe I'll be a social media moneymaker! I...

Last night, I could not sleep. I finally got up and stayed up. Tonight, I fell asleep around 5:30 pm. I woke up at 8:30. I thought it was morning. I thought I slept all night, stinky in my clothes. My son was downstairs...

Could you imagine learning skills just from watching stuff on TV? Like I wish i could just watch a few cooking shows and become an instant great chef with all the knowledge of one. I am not sure what else i would watch to gain...

Tyler Zahnke I would watch cooking shows as well to learn about cooking, but I would also watch Talentwatch so I know what budding, about-to-become-famous musicians sound like. I also enjoy learning about business in the digital era (a.k.a. business in the Nifty Digit...

Tyler Zahnke I would personally never blame anything on an invention; I would blame it on the people who did the crime. I have never blamed anything on a machine or concept.

Tyler Zahnke I have had this disorientation before, but it is very rare. Usually after those nights when I have a hard time sleeping, and then I fall asleep at around 3:00 a.m., I wake up, think it's 6:00, and it turns out to be noon already! Say! Sometimes I set my alarm...

I saw this on Fox news. Archaeologists discover 4,800-year-old fossil of a mother cradling a baby in her arms in Taiwan. The mother and child were found among 48 sets of remains. The remains are the earliest evidence of...

Is it possible that extraterrestrials came and breaded or embedded something in our genes to make us more intelligent than we were. Also do you think that they gave us some of the technology we have today.

Tyler Zahnke I don't truly believe one side or the other, but my mind is open to many theories. I don't personally think that aliens actually created modern humans; I think modern humans were what our ancestors evolved into by natural evolution. However, when I tried my...

Tyler Zahnke I have recently been thinking and writing (and occasionally reading) about the most recent changes in technology. I love how everything seems to be becoming digital; I always used the term "Nifty Digit Nation", a coinage of mine, to describe what we are...

What is the first DVD-related memory you have? When I was born, I'm not even sure if DVD existed, but we had a lot of videotapes at our house. When I finally saw DVD's, such as the DVD of Disney's Pinocchio, I couldn't believe all...

Tyler Zahnke I like ambient music and electronic synthesized music. Look up Richard Harvey's Nifty Digits, and if you want a real samplefest, just look up Wayne Butane! It gets me all happy and singy!

Scary movies and me are an interesting thing. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I enjoy watching them if they have a good storyline and backstory but generally speaking I do not like scary movies. This is confusing...

Tyler Zahnke I usually don't watch scary movies, but Schizo (1976) was an exception, mostly because it starred British people, and I was introduced to the lovely and talented British actress Lynne Frederick. But let's not lie; the whole reason I watched that movie is...
