Renaissance 2.0
The battle between Microsoft and Apple through the decades has been an incredible saga with many twists and turns as each has taken turns being on top. Ultimately, they know their success has a great deal to do with their arch nemesis. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates know how much they and their respective companies…
Today’s Antonio Salieri’s birthday. He was born on 8/18/1750 so he would’ve been 259 had he not died in 1825 at 74. He’s better known as Mozart’s envious and less talented rival as portrayed in the 1984 Oscar winning “Amadeus”. For many years, there has been theories about what and who killed Mozart who died…
I finally watched Mad Men last night and loved it. Now I see what all the hoopla was about. I loved the writing and acting and especially the period in time (early 60s JFK era). I really like the look and feel of the show, the style in clothes and everything else Americana about it….
I really enjoyed this song “”Let Me Be Myself” by 3 Doors Down, especially their music video. I love the message I took away from it. How we should strive to be our true selves, despite what those around us wish us to be. It’s easier said than done. We all get tangled in a…
I love movies and the internet so of course I’m going to be a big fan of Netflix. I love that its popularity continues to grow as more people learn how great it is. I had the same feeling or Tivo when I discovered it and was blown away by how fantastic and life changing…

Here’s the new song from Colbie Caillat called “Fallin’ for You” co-starring the funny Bobby Moynihan from SNL in a cute video about a most unusual couple. In an interview, Colbie said she was inspired to write the song after spending a lot of time with a friend and then started feeling something much more…
John Hughes, One of my favorite writer/directors, passed away today at the age of 59. He was apparently walking in Manhattan when he suffered a heart attack. I’m really sad about it which I know is silly because I didn’t know the man but he made so many movies that I loved and that were…
I’ve only recently become a fan of Chantal Kreviazuk. Well, not really. As it turns out, she’s done so many songs I’ve loved but I just didn’t know her name. For example, she did “Weight of the World” and “Feels Like Home” from “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. She’s also written many…
