Cheese in Space Tonight!

We the people of Northern Community Radio believe in... TRIVIA!

Tonight during Green Cheese Trivia with Brandon Chase from 7-9 (streaming live at kaxe.org) we'll be hosting Cheese in Space on our Facebook page. That means we'll post status updates with online-only questions.

Be sure to "Like" us on Facebook and be ready to comment with your guesses!

A big thanks to team "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" for volunteering their time and questions to make this happen. Be sure to let like-minded people know about the online trivia tonight! And let us know what you think and/or ideas you have for having Cheese in Space trivia online: suggestions/concerns/compliments.

Northern Community Radio's mission is to build community in Northern MN through radio programming, cultural events, and interactive media. How's this for that "interactive media" part? :D

Cheese in Space is a special presentation for We the People fundraiser - listener supports makes this all possible!

We hope you pledge your support during Cheese in Space/Green Cheese tonight from 7-9pm!

Are you on facebook?

By Jennifer Poenix

I imagine if you’re reading this blog that you are somewhat internet savvy. You’ve probably heard of Facebook, which is a “social networking site.” That’s a funny term right there. “Social networking.” I suppose people have always “social networked,” it was never called that. I still don’t call it that. Who does? “Oh yeah, I’ve just been social networking with some folks and they said it’s going to snow.” I don’t think so.

Anyhow, Facebook is a place where people who are already friends “friend request” each other until pretty soon you are “friends” with that guy you sat by in math class in like 10th grade, but really didn’t know all that well.

This is sounding weird, right? It’s not so much once you get into it. I mean, yeah, some of it is a bit strange, especially at first. Then you discover people you haven’t heard from in a long time, and sometimes it’s really cool to see what they’ve been up to and be able to reconnect.

There are also groups to join on Facebook. People mostly join groups to show their support for something and to find people who share a common interest. KAXE has a group, started by Scott’s daughter, Adele. It’s called KAXE: A Rare Medium Well Done. As of right now, there are 108 members of the group. If you already do the Facebook thing, I invite you to check it out. Just search for KAXE and you’ll find it. If you are not on Facebook, it may be your thing or it may not. The downside is that you actually have to create an account (it’s totally free) to see if you like it. If you are interested, go to http://www.facebook.com/.
