Anyone remember The nazpastor Challenge I posted back in July? I took the wallpaper from my right-hand monitor, consisting of thumbnails of 693 CCM album covers, and displayed it as a challenge for nazpastor--and everyone else--to identify. nazpastor sent me a Word document with a huge number of covers identified. Stuff in life caused me to neglect his list, but over time I've been giving the whole thing an improved treatment. Below is a reminder image of the complete collage. Clicking on it will take you to a web page with

The nazpastor Challenge Revisited

I invite you to check it out.

The challenge is too great. I won't even try to conquer that one.

It's not so bad. nazpastor has figured out a huge number of them, and those are already filled in--but not in a big list like before. You can look at a thumbnail and try to figure it out, then hover your mouse over the thumbnail to see the title pop up. So it's not as overwhelming as it might appear. Smile

It are so many things, so I pass.
But good luck for those who will try it.

Maybe you should try to re-create (if you have time) a smaller collage of the ones I didn't get correct. That would help people not feel so overwhelmed.

Nah. It's just there for people to glance at and say, "Hey, I recognize that," or, "I wonder what that is," then see if they're right. The challenge was for you, and others can check it out if they want to. But I owed it to you to resurrect it again in the forums so others could see what you had already figured out, just like all of those early challenges. And even if a lot of people don't want to check it out, maybe a few will. That's good enough for me.

It's a self-quiz, unless people want to send me ones that aren't filled in already, and in a few days or so I'll start filling in the blanks for those as well, one row at a time. Then it'll be a self-quiz entirely.

I don't have the courage to even start it.

lol, that's okay. Really, no one has to do anything with it. It's just there if anyone feels like stimulating the brain. I've already started filling in the blanks, and it's not the kind where you have to send me answers for everything. It's more of a self study. Very Happy

So it'll be there for a long time for anyone who wants to stop every now and again and see what kind of covers he or she can recognize. It's getting the deluxe treatment, too, although it'll take me a bit of time to finish it off that way.

Anyway, for those who want to take a look, here it is. For those who would rather not, that's cool.

I looked at the first 5 rows, and was absolutely clueless about the missing titles.
Will try to look at more of it later.

Nazpastor you made it?

No, I didn't get them all. I got the ones that are labeled for the most part. I don't know if anyone else gave Sean any answers. The blank ones are the ones I don't know.

It is now undergoing The Deluxe Treatment, with row 1 having received The Deluxe Treatment so far and the remaining 20 rows to come. From now on rather than holding the mouse cursor over a thumbnail you'll be able to click the thumbnail and see a page with a 300x300 image and details. That might make it more interesting for the few who choose to check it out in the future. And really, after two months of neglect, leaving nazpastor hanging on this one, The nazpastor Challenge deserves my special attention like this--even if no one but he and I ever look at it again. Very Happy

As I check these out, I am finding that nearly everything I didn't get was a CD single/promo item. There were a couple of full length CDs, but about 80-90% of what I didn't get was a "special" disc.

Yes indeed. I've only gotten the first five rows done so far (busy weekend) but there were 6 singles and another couple promos. Quite a few indies and imports as well. Just under 1/4 of the unrecognized thumbnzils in the first 5 rows were singles/promos, and no one can be expected to recognize those. I put together stuff that looked cool as a collage without thought of that sort of thing so as a challenge it's definitely...challenging. Very Happy

You still surprised me with a lot of them, snagging titles like 45, 63 and 78 where I wouldn't have expected it. Yep, I'm glad I shared my wallpaper with you. It's been fun seeing you at work. You, my friend, know your CCM. Smile

I'll see if I can get another row or two done now (and update my recent playlist while I'm at it) before starting on work.

I was told when I was in college that it is not a matter of how much we "know", it is a matter of being able to find the answer that counts. I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve for finding some of the more obscure titles. My biggest problem was that there is just not enough to visually "understand" what I am looking at on some of those.

egads ! I placed it as desktop wallpaper on my laptop and freaked ! It was so cool looking, but way too overwhelming (couldn't even find my icon shortcuts)... so it was back to Staybrite's Lion (which my wife adores).

That has been my theme in life, since my memory is worse than a TRS-80 from 1982
