Renaissance 2.0
I loved this song, “Love Left to Lose” by Sons of Sylvia who performed it live on American Idol tonight. I never heard of them before but I recognized them for some reason. They were previously known as The Clark Brothers who won the top prize on the reality show called The Next Great American…
Sometimes the biggest changes come from the smallest things. In this case, I’ll share a couple of WordPress plugins that have a tremendous impact on the blogging experience. They are free, easy to use and big time-savers. PhotoDropper makes adding images to your blog posts much quicker and easier. It scours Flickr for photos…
I created a playlist on YouTube where I keep adding my favorite movie endings. Sometimes the finale of a film is the best part or the lasting memory you’ll have of a movie.

Here’s a blast from the past to the 1980s. Flash N’ the Pan and their “MEDIA MAN” hit which eerily fits in well with today’s new media age. Even the name of the band is ironic as Adobe Flash continues to get panned by Apple. Sit back and enjoy this song from more than a…
I’ve got Jason Derulo’s song stuck “in my head”. No really, I keep thinking about that amazing live performance he gave on American Idol this week for his song “In My Head”. It wasn’t just my favorite live performance this season by ANY artist but perhaps of all nine seasons of Idol. It was that…
Today is a landmark date in technology as Apple officially releases the much hyped iPad which will change the way we view computers yet again. However, don’t be fooled.
