Common Denominators

Good afternoon and thanks for checking out the blog. So, What's Good today, Scott? I am glad that you asked. Common Denominators are good, but I must lay groundwork for this post, right from the jump. Important things to consider:
1. I am not good at math in any sort of way.
2. I know that money is cool and wish I had more of it. I am not dumb.

Mash-ups

What’s good? A man once said, “What is truth?” I’m asking you: What is good? What is good in your life? Do you take time to acknowledge it? Are there things in your life that aren’t just good, but they’re so good you make a point to tell other people about them? I’ll bet there are. It is an interesting question, and I would enjoy reading your answers. Leave a comment below if you don’t mind. 

I was presented with this question when I was asked if I was going to write another post on this blog. It was kind-of a big ask. I haven’t made time to write a post for our other blog for over nine months (if that last one even counts – note to self: update the images on that post.) So, is there something that is so good that I would be motivated to write a post about it? I mean, there are lots of things that are good, as I mentioned last time: surrealism, understanding, gardening, the Book of Judges, Simon Stålenhag… The list is long, and I would love to tell you about every entry on it, if only I had the time. But is there something so good that it motivates this composition that I’m writing right now?!?! There is…

What up, y’all? It’s ya’ boy, Hal. As you may have ascertained, this ain’t Scott. I have once again commandeered his blog for my own purposes. But I would like to acknowledge that I really appreciate Scott sharing his appreciation of things with those wonderful few who are interested to read it. We don’t take enough time to appreciate the good things around us. It is worthwhile to take a moment now and again to pause and say, “You know what? I really enjoy _______ for the following reasons…” Scott does it, and I enjoy it. You’re good, Scott.

So, four paragraphs in… What am I writing about today? What’s good? Mash-ups! In my opinion, mash-ups are the best. A mash-up is something where two independent things are fused together to make a hybrid thing that stands alone as its own thing. Like this:
