Lose My Soul

I was blown away by this powerful song from Toby Mac featuring the amazing Kirk Franklen and sensational Mandisa (from American Idol fame a few years ago). I’m still numb from the experience and deeply touched and inspired. It’s a beautiful song first and foremost but the message is so important. Especially considering the current…

Here are are old spots for Windows and the Mac.  Also included are some Mac ads with their familiar mudslinging at Windows. Here is a slew of old commercials including an ancient Windows…

BowlingForSoup-1985

Bowling for Soup’s version of “1985” is a blast for anyone who misses the 1980s! The music video is especially big fun as it shows many of the icons of the era. The image of Tawny Kitaen sprawled across the jaguar in WhiteSnake’s “Here I Go Again” was a signature moment for the decadent decade…

Don’t Mean Nothing

It’s no coincidence that “Don’t Mean Nothing” by Richard Marks sounds a little like an Eagles song. He got the Eagle’s Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmidt to play and sing on the record! In his video blog below, Richard explains how a rookie neophyte in 1987 got legends of rock to play…

How to Save and Share Bookmarks with Friends and Groups

I was ranting this morning on twitter about how under-achieving Delicious.com has been since Yahoo acquired them several years ago. I was feeling frustrated that it just hasn’t added many cool social networking tools like so many others in their space such as Foxmarks (now xMarks), faves, magnolia, etc.). I think it should give us…

The Incredible Evolution of the Cell Phone

The cell phone (better known as a Mobile Device these days) has experienced an incredible evolution in its extremely short life span! Here are some videos that demonstrate the dramatic changes this technology has gone through and continues to experience. The scary part is that some day in the near future they will look back…

Working Girl

I really enjoyed “Working Girl” (1988) starring Melanie Griffth, Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver. All three were wonderful in their roles and the two ladies were even nominated for Oscars that year. Even Alec Baldwin shines in his turn as Melanie’s sleazy boyfriend! The music by Carly Simon “Let the Rivers Run” is a perfect…
