So we did what we set out to do for a 2008 experimental blog project: Wavemaker365. It was a fun and worth while web experience.We truly appreciate everyone's comments, feedback, corrections, amendments, arguments, shout outs, even after we fell off back in November. An overwhelming number of you have asked why we stopped. If there is one particular reason, it is probably one of the conclusions

The 44th President of the USA, Barack Obama.This is the biggest historic moment I have ever experienced in my life time. The world of sports claim that all records are meant to be broken. Now, I can say in culture or society, standards are meant to be broken! For the first time in my life, I personally felt hope and enlightenment for the USA, not just on dealing with political issues, but more

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. " John F. KennedySince it is election month, I decided this month's theme for the Wavemaker365 Motivational Quotes will be from presidents. Here is my favorite. It summarizes what successful do; they act on the betterment of a cause greater than themselves.

If several cars have a device called a speed governor to limit the vehicle's maximum speed, why can't this be done for all cars at a slower speed? Why not try a 75 mph limit?a) Saves lives. No more high speed fatalities; joy rides, racing , rushing. There were over 43,000 fatalities last year. Over 80% were due to speeding violations.b) Saves gas. Less efficient consumption over 75 mph. Gas will

Hi there! It is RRR; Rikki RooRave again. This month I'm revealing my favorite remakes/covers of New Wave songs.This is probably the most unique cover of any New Wave song. The original song most consider an anthem of that era. What makes it totally standout is that its acoustic, far from the electro pop sound of the original by New Order. Here's Frente with their remake of Bizarre Love

Japan starting pitcher, Yukiko Ueno pitched 21 innings the previous day, an unbelievable feat. This Japan victory over the US softball Dream Team is as big an upset as Buster/Tyson, 1980 Hockey

Its me again, RikkiRooRave doing my Music Showcase here on WaveMaker365. Continuing this month's category for Classic Rave Anthems, this last choice was a difficult one. C'mon, I only have 4 songs to choose for a monthly theme. Try picking the top four guitarist of all time which I had to do for July. Not an easy task, and very debatable as you all wrote in. I plan to revisit some monthly themes

I keep on getting stuck on a cool way to present my Music Showcase for the new readers. Follow if you can, read twice if you have to! lol Its the third week, so third song based on this month's theme on Classic Rave tracks. Get it? Like when I started in February, my first month's theme was Classic New Wave songs for WaveMaker365. So on every Saturday of a month, I put on a song or video.

Do you know of good lines to say when an police officer pulls you over for a moving/traffic violation? Have you ever been stopped for turning without signaling, or ran a light that just turned red or did an illegal U-turn or drove just too fast in town? Don't you get more heated because you know your 10 times better than the average driver and you get stopped for a non-ddangerous violation? Now,

I think in six seasons, I've managed over 10 fantasy football teams. I decided this year I was not going to join any leagues for fun or money. I needed to detox the fantasy football germs out of my system because:10) I've only won two $ prizes in six years.

It is R.R.R., Rikki RooRave!I'm back I'm back I'm baaaaack!! Glad to be back from a one month hiatus in August. For September, my monthly Wavemaker365 Music Showcase will be on Classic Rave Anthems. These were the songs in the late 80s and early 90s that ruled the raves and techno clubs. The same songs that exposed a young teen girl (guess who?) to gravitate to the rave/club/alternative

Add another trivia question to the Hall of Fame career of Alex Rodriguez. It happened last night when the Yankees were the visitors playing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Rodriguez is now in the record books for hitting the home run that required umpires to use instant replay for the first time in the history of Baseball.

This is the first post in a new segment for WaveMaker 365 on Mondays. I will label this, "SuperJock Talk". I'll give you some insights and specifics on a sport or game every week that I feel will set you apart on a higher level than the simple minded highlight reel sports fan. This will also help you understand the game more through the athlete's mind or a coach's mind.I believe I have much to

Major League Baseball's 2008 All-Star Game will go down as a classic, I decided to write about it in this week's MY WAVES post. Was that a crazy game or what? Four hours and 50 minutes long. Who stayed up besides me? We must be nuts or sports purists. Baseball can be boring, but not in this game. I enjoyed every extra inning. The Hall of Famers by position was a nice touch. In 15 innings, the

Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton was hitting 500+ft bombs at Yankees Stadium on Monday. 28 homers is a record for one round, which surpassed Bobby Abreu's 24 in 2006. To think he almost threw it all away with alcohol and drug abuse for the last 5 years. Good Luck Josh.

Hi again, its Rikki RooRave presenting my Saturday Music Showcase. I opened last week with Jim Hendrix to start this month's theme for greatest guitarists. The next guitarist who is one of the greatest is Carlos Santana. He simply makes the guitar sing with strong riffs and smooth rhythms. he is a Wavemaker because of his original sound.

“The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living” Greek philosopher, Socrates (469-399) said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves. In other words, you need to know yourself and to take control of your life.

Hi everyone! It's me again, Rikki RooRave, presenting a new theme for this month's Music Showcase for Wavemaker 365. On each Saturday of the given month I post my favorite picks based on the theme I'm given by Mr. RRowdy. In May, I covered my favorite Great 70s Rock Songs and in June, I covered DJ Tiesto. For July, the topic is, Great Guitarists. I really welcome this because I'd like to hear

First of all, this not one of those PayPerPost articles that I am doing for money. Some of you have emailed me about the PayPerPost icon on the sidebar, and questioned if I am going to use this blog, WaveMaker 365, for posting boring subjects. Yes, WaveMaker365 was approved by PayPerPost and other pay-to-blog sites to be a contributor. NO, I will not be selling out on whack subject matter. Though

“Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as

I'm still so jealous the Mr. RRowdy got to go Thursday night. I'm glad you got to experience a Tiesto concert. I totally feel Mr. RRowdy's review post from yesterday.

The Tiesto show at Webster Hall was one of those experiences that's sets itself on another level. I'm so glad I made the effort to finally go and see my favorite Trance DJ. It was insane.I'm sitting here trying to organize my thoughts to write a review deserving of my amazing experience of last night's Tiesto concert at Webster hall. It was simply a phenomenal vibe. Everything went right for me

The Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship last Tuesday over the Los Angels Lakers. I did not want to feature the Celtics in the WaveMaker 365 weekly sports showcase last week.Everyone knows I'm a big Knicks and Yankees fan. However, Doc Rivers did play for Pat Riley's Knicks in 1993. Some sort of consolation for me on a Boston team winning a championship.OK, OK, I know so I'm really reaching.

Here's a unique incident for this week's WaveMaker365 Sports Showcase:Staten Island Yankees pitcher Pat Venditte uses a six-fingered glove that can be worn on either hand. The ambidextrous pitcher switched throwing hands versus a Brooklyn Cyclones switch hitter Friday night. They went back and forth switching hitting and pitching sides. The advantage goes to a pitcher throwing from the opposite

Since I have seen the most coverage I care to of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in their run to the NBA championship series, this week's WaveMaker365 sports showcase will elaborate more one on the topic that was brought up after Game 4 by ABC announcer Michael Wilbon. He reiterated that you can not compare Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan because MJ would have never let his team allow an opposing team

This movie is a big thumbs up. It will entertain the kids for 90 minutes, and excite all the ones taking martial arts, there after. It may not trigger a huge enrollment of Kung Fu students like The Karate Kid did for all the gui-wearing martial arts schools in the 80's, but the message and awareness is the same. The difference today is that families are sold on purchasing the virtual rewards of a

I am not a big fan of any of these to teams, but as you may know, I am a big pro hoops fan. So this week for the WaveMaker365 sports showcase is on the 2008 NBA finals; the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics. On one hand, I have a dislike for a city and on the other, a dislike for a player. Though I have always enjoyed watching the big three for Boston; KG, Pierce and Allen, I keep

Since June is the month when a new NBA champion is crowned, my weekly Motivational Quote will be from NBA greats. I'll start with none other than Michael Jordan.“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to

For the last showcase for this month, I present my favorite rock song of all time. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song by Freddie Mercury and originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. In 1977, only two years after its release, it was named 'The Best Single of the Last 25 Years' by BPI (Britain).The song is of six sections: introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera,

MTV's second Top Ten Hottest MCs In The Game list was revealed last night. This highly debated list has fired up the biggest Hip Hop artists, previously shunned, as well as the Hip Hop world.

It was nice to see some kids who watched the movie Super Bad also remember the song (Panama by Van Halen) when the two cops took McLovin for a joy ride. The song was very fitting for that part of the movie. It was good to see the heads of teen kids bop to a rock song when they watched the dvd at a friend's home theater last week.

Since I've been seeing commercials and trailers everywhere for the new movie Iron Man, opening on today. The trailers use the intro to the song, Iron Man by the 1970's rock band, Black Sabbath. It gave me the idea for this month's theme for my weekly music show case. This month, I'm going to show case some of my favorite Rock songs from the 70's.Here's the Iron Man trailer:Here's the original

I went to see Mos Def in concert this past weekend. It was as good as a I expected. The venue was packed. Mos Def has always been a more mature Hip Hop artist that rapped more about social issues than clubs, ho's or toys; things money can't by. I guess that is the reason why I was interested in checking him out.The concert featured Jay Electronica as the opening act. I wasnt feeling him too much.

Sometimes we all need to ask ourselves if we are getting ahead or getting by. Its a self check to see if we've hit complacency or if we are accepting it. For me, I think Ive hit complacency again, and now its to time to step it up again.. Ill refer to this post by the end of the year and see if anything has changed.

Ive been filling in brackets for the field of 64 (now 65) since 1987, when Keith Smart of Indiana hit the winning shot against Syracuse.I read in a survey a couple years ago that the production of emplyees who follow this tournament falls 60% on the first two days of the this tournament.
