Collecting Ontario Provincial Parks Crests 2021 Darren Foulds 2022-01-19 | Each year, my boys and I go camping a couple times. This year, the Ontario Provincial Parks had a really neat set of Ontario Provincial Park Crests. So, when we discovered them, we decided to collect a crest from each park we visited. And we hit a couple extra parks that we probably wouldn't normally visit, just to get the patches too.It was a good summer, we visited, Sleeping Giant, Kakabeka, Ouimet Canyon, Aaron, Blue Lake and High Falls (at Pigeon River.)darrenfoulds.com#camping #OntarioParks #SleepingGiant

Commodore 64 RPG WIP Darren Foulds 2020-12-01 | I began working on what I called a MMMORPG (Massively Mini MultiPlayer Offline Role Playing Game) for the Commodore 64 in 2019. I hit a snag in October of that year (and life got in the way for a couple months too.)I basically restarted the game from scratch in the spring of 2020, but stalled out again with other projects holding my attention.I'm not actively working on the game (as of the end of 2020) but I do like the idea enough that I might come back to it at some time.The MMMORPG is written in 6510 Assembly for the Commodore 64 using Turbo Macro Pro (on the C64) for that real retro feeling. This capture shows an updated screen layout than the thumbnail shows. It also isn't running with the custom character set, but that exists too (and it's pretty sweet.)More info at:darrenfoulds.comdarrenfoulds.itch.io/c64-mmorpg@darrenfoulds (Twitter)
1NVADER: Coding a C64 Video Game Darren Foulds 2019-05-17 | In the winter months of 2019 I coded my first 6510 Machine Language video game for the Commodore 64. If you're curious to see what the various stages of development of an 8-bit video game look like, I'd like to show you how I made 1NVADER.Download the game at: darrenfoulds.comSource available at: github.com/darrenfoulds/1nvader-c64Thank you very much to Robin of 8-Bit Show and Tell for all his encouragement and help along the way.
C64 1NVADER Preview Darren Foulds 2019-04-18 | I wrote a game for the Commodore 64 early in 2019. It was my first complete machine language program. I'm ready to release it into the wild any day now...http://www.darrenfoulds.com1NVADER is a simple game of beat-back-the-alien-spaceship until you can't do it any more. In this video, it may appear the 1NVADER speeds up until the game is impossible, but that's not how the game plays. It gets pretty frenetic, but the game does give you a reprieve. The question is, how long can you stay at it.The game is playable by one or two players simultaneously and lends itself to the same cooperation/competition dilemma that Joust and Mario Brothers present.I look forward to hearing how you enjoy playing it!Preview video music: Powerful Stasis - Soft and Furioushttp://freemusicarchive.org/music/Soft_and_Furious

The New Brunswick Hot Air Balloon Disaster Darren Foulds 2015-03-17 | This song was written and performed by Darren Foulds and Robin Harbron for our internet-music-group's February Album Writing Month 2015 effort.This year we were writing songs that each had something to do with one of the Provinces or Territories of Canada. New Brunswick was one of two that didn't get picked up for a song, so I wrote some lyrics, and passed them over to Robin who wrote some music and then we collaborated back and forth to produce this song.It tells the story of Winifred Blair, the very first Miss Canada (who was from New Brunswick) and the hot air balloon accident she was involved in. I left the ending of the tale open, but in actual fact, Ms Blair did not die as a result of a hot air balloon disaster. Take note of all the NB things: Hot Air Balloons, Winifred Blair, Lobster Roll, Ginger Ale, Campobelllo Island.Winnifred Blairpiloted the craftShe turned the burner up to fullwith a furnace blastWe went up into the skylike a rocket in slow-moWinnifred Blairin her Hot Air BalloonWe packed some lobster rolland a case of ginger aleWe drifted out to the Atlanticinto the middle of a galeWe knew nothing of our fateJust two boys from Saksatoonon a ride with good ol' Winniein her Hot Air BalloonHOT AIR BALLOONHOT HOT AIR BALLOONHOT AIR HOT BALLOONWinnifred's Hot Air BalloonSo I held my brother closeas we met the driving rainThe lightning sparked around usThe thunder broke my brainOver Campobello Islandthe last place we saw landThe wicker basket dipping lowI knew that we were damnedHOT AIR BALLOONHOT HOT AIR BALLOONHOT AIR HOT BALLOONWinnifred's Hot Air BalloonWinnifred Blairpiloted the craftShe turned the burner up to fullwith a furnace blastAll Lyrics and Music Darren Foulds and Robin HarbronVideo animated by Darren CCImages sourced from the internet.

I Had A Beard (And it Grew Across Ontario) Darren Foulds 2015-02-26 | An original song and video for February Album Writing Month 2015.Each year, our band of internet misfits picks a theme and we write and record 14 songs in February. "Ontario" is my contribution to the Provinces of Canada Project.I Had A Beard: Darren FouldsI had a beard and it grew across OntarioIt grew through the trees over rocks and leaves and lakes and snowMy beard grew long from Port Arthur to Kenora ohI had a beard and it grew across OntarioI had a beard and it grew across OntarioMy beard drank beer and ate pancakes drenched in syrup ohMy beard grew strong and it listened to the rock'n'rollI had a beard and it covered all OntarioI grew a beard and it ruled over OntarioIt fought with the kids stole away my wife (Lothario)My beard was tough it was mean and it was scary-oMy awful beard it took over all OntarioSo I shaved my beard for to give it proper burialBut instead it shaved me then conquered North West Territory-oIt seized all lands it was too late and we had no hopeI grew the beard that enslaved mankind upon the globeAnd what came next in this apoc'lyptic scenario?My beard ate the moon and the sun and all the asteroidsIt ruled the galaxies it achieved the ultimate controlUntil my beard was sucked into a big ol' black holeI had a beard and it grew across OntarioIt grew through the trees over rocks and leaves and lakes and snowMy beard grew long from Port Arthur to Kenora, ohI had a beard and it grew across OntarioI did a live stream of the original recording session for this song.

The Great Thunder Bay April Blizzard of 2013 Darren Foulds 2013-04-19 | Thunder Bay could not shake winter this year and a month into spring (April 19, 2013) it got hit with one of the biggest snow storms / wind storms it had all year. More than 25cm of snow fell in about 12 hours, winds were gusting up to 70km/h, snow was drifting up over a metre high in places. Schools, Lakehead University, Confederation College, businesses and services across the city were closed by lunch time.The Police Services warned of such bad driving conditions that they appealed for people to not drive. Whiteout conditions reduced visibility to near zero at times.CIty buses were pulled from their routes (as were garbage and recycling collection.) Snowplow crews couldn't keep up with the snow and drifting snow. Many area highways were closed. Powerlines covered with snow and ice fell across the city leaving many without power.Still, Thunder Bay made the best of it. The city's brewery stayed open.

How to Make Oktoberfest Style Beer Pretzels Darren Foulds 2011-10-25 | How I went about making tasty, beer-y, pretzels for our homebrewers' group Oktoberfest. These turned out really great! Eat them warm if you can. There are lots of recipes online to try. Mine was based on advice from BasicBrewing.com and an All Recipe recipe.http://youtu.be/YnE3gtYgwpshttp://allrecipes.com/Recipe/mall-pretzels/detail.aspx
How to Make Hard Apple Cider from Real Apples Darren Foulds 2011-10-16 | Dad's apple tree produced about three bushels this year (it might be a Norland Apple tree.) And instead of making jellies out of it, he agreed to use them with my friend's press to try to make apple cider.It was tough going until we shredded the apples with a food processor. Then the juice came flowing out. We got 14 litres and fermented it with 1116 (fruit wine) yeast for a couple of weeks.We bottled half of it as a still hard cider and half we primed with a little bit of dextrose to make a sparkling cider. It is pretty tart, but the carbonation really makes it drinkable.
Geocaching in Nipigon Darren Foulds 2011-09-04 | Every Labour Day weekend, a pair of geocachers from Nipigon organize a cache hunt to coincide with the Nipigon Fall Fishing Festival. Geocachers from all over North Western Ontario descend upon the community for caching and fun.This year, we went again, and I took my two year old son for a hike up to The Bald Spot to find a couple geocaches. I wasn't quite sure what to expect for the trail up there, or the difficulty of the climb. The trail and geocache were very nice, but I was mostly impressed by my son who did the hike all by himself.It was a beautiful fall morning, the leaves were just starting to change colour, and it smelled wonderful. We had a great hike and geocache hunt, and I wanted to save the memory with this video.
Belgian Dubbel Partial Mash Grain Kit Darren Foulds 2011-07-25 | Mmm. This was simply the best smelling, tasting and enjoyable brewing experience I've had. I've done a number of extract kits before. This was my first try at a partial mash kit. I honestly enjoyed this so much, I don't know that I'll want to go back to the simple extract kits. That said, the simple extract kits take about an hour and a half. This brew took about four hours. But I know it's going to be worth it.The recipe I used was Dubble 'em Up from Midwest Brewing Supplies (I think I say Midwest Brewing in the video.) http://www.midwestsupplies.com
How to Make Cheese at Home Darren Foulds 2011-07-22 | Blessed are the Cheese Makers!*** Use Homogenized Milk (that's Whole Milk for my US friends.)*** You can get rennet at major grocery stores or try bulk food stores.After watching and reading about cheese making, I decided to give it a try on my own. This is a super simple beginner cheese that I made. It used only 4l of milk, some lemon juice (or vinegar) salt and rennet. The result was a 400g wheel of cheese that only took an hour from beginning to end!For proper instructions and recipes, visit: http://www.foodscience.uoguelph.ca/cheese/welcom.htmorhttp://biology.clc.uc.edu/Fankhauser/Cheese/Cheese_course/Cheese_course.htm
The Unfriendly Giant: Motorized Skateboard Darren Foulds 2011-06-27 | In this episode, Rusty and Jerome stay up all night working on a special project. After the Giant takes the gas powered skateboard for a spin, he shows the Chicken a special project of his own that runs on gas. After teaching myself to make cartoons with Flash animation back in 2004, and using the audio track from an episode of Tom Rivers' The Unfriendly Giant radio shorts, I created another in 2006 and this one in 2009. You can find all my Unfriendly Giant animations on my YouTube channel, or at my website: http://darrenfoulds.com/the-unfriendly-giant I was in contact with Mr. Rivers before he passed away and am very happy that he enjoyed viewing my Unfriendly Giant cartoon. I hope you enjoy it too.
The Unfriendly Giant: Health Day Darren Foulds 2011-06-27 | In this episode, the Giant teaches Jerome the benefits of "fresh air" and gives the Chicken a recipe that is sure to cure him. Be sure to watch for the hidden Easter Egg at the end of the cartoon. You can find all my Unfriendly Giant animations on my YouTube channel, or at my website: http://darrenfoulds.com/the-unfriendly-giant In 2004 I wanted to teach myself Flash animation, so I dug out some old radio tapes I made of the Unfriendly Giant (I think I've got every episode they ever aired on tape,) and used the Health Day episode as the audio track to my project. I used to draw UFG comics in Calculus class back in highschool to amuse myself, so the character design was already done. I just needed to learn Flash. Inspired by the work of Homestar Runner, this is what I came up with. I was in contact with Mr. Rivers before he passed away and am very happy that he enjoyed viewing my Unfriendly Giant cartoon. I hope you enjoy it too.
The Unfriendly Giant: Safety Day Darren Foulds 2011-06-24 | The Giant, Rusty and Jerome discuss the safe way of removing toast stuck in the toaster.See the original Flash cartoon here (and try to find the two hidden Easter Eggs!)http://darrenfoulds.com/2011/06/the-unfriendly-giant-safety-dayThis is my second Unfriendly Giant Flash cartoon, created in 2006. The audio is a recording I made of Tom Rivers' parody of the Unfriendly Giant. I was in contact with Mr. Rivers before he passed away and am very happy that he enjoyed viewing my Unfriendly Giant cartoon. I hope you enjoy it too.
Hard Sparking Apple Cider at Home Darren Foulds 2011-06-20 | Talking about bottling my second cider, a hard cider made from cider (not juice.) Also, an impromptu foray into sparkling cider.
Brewing a Wheat Beer Kit Darren Foulds 2011-05-06 | In addition to preparing a nice Wheat Beer kit (and augmenting as I'm prone,) I demonstrate how simple it is to sterilize your equipment before a brew. Good thing too, because the stopper for my airlock is currently at the bottom of my carboy. Watch the video to see what happened.
Serious April Hail in Thunder Bay Darren Foulds 2011-04-11 | Around 4:30pm on Saturday, April 10, 2011, as I was taking a video in the kitchen, we heard a noise from outside getting louder and louder. Jenny called out "Hail!" I popped out the front door and captured this!The hail was just starting and stones up to an inch and a half in diameter were falling from the sky. Apparently these stones formed about 50 kilometres in the sky. 50k is a long way to fall to reach terminal velocity!
Apple Cider Bottling Darren Foulds 2011-03-29 | Visit my blog: http://www.BrewGarden.ca for lots of fun homebrew, cider, garden and kitchen stuff!Taking the hard cider that I brewed a few weeks ago and bottling it in my fancy 500ml swing-top bottles. Included is a little discussion on calculating alcohol content and of course, a tasting.This cider turned out great. It was super easy to make and it tasted exactly how I was expecting it to taste, right out of the carboy. I'm looking forward to my stout maturing a bit so I can try them together.
Brewing Hard Apple Cider Darren Foulds 2011-03-07 | What goes better with Stout than cider? Um, no cider and more stout? Perhaps, but if you're going to add something to your stout, it might as well be a nice hard cider. So here, I go, starting my hard cider.Thanks to http://youtube.com/basicbrewing for the inspiration.Check out my video blog at http://youtube.com/dazdug
Homebrew Beer Darren Foulds 2011-01-13 | The results of my first homebrew attempt. Watch as I test my beer to see if it has conditioned in the bottle. The results are very active.
