L E G E N D

I love “LEGEND” (1985) directed by Ridley Scott and starring a young Tom Cruise and Mia Sara. It’s a wonderful good versus evil fantasy full of fairies, unicorns and goblins and Tim Curry as the prince of darkness. There’s an amazing look to this film thanks to Scott and his cinematographer. It’s a feast for…

How To Manage All of Your Personal News Feeds

Most social websites nowadays provide news feeds – constant updates of changes since your last visit. However, finding all these feeds – to put them in Google Reader, for instance, can be tricky. I’ve taken the hassle out of this chore by putting the URLs of these feeds for many of the most popular services…

yWriter5 builds a better mousetrap for writers

Writiers use Microsoft Word or online word processors like those offered from Googledocs and Zoho for creating their works of fiction and non-fiction. By and large this is all fine and works well-enough. However, yWriter offers a much better writing platform because it was created by a writer for writers. It is not just another…

closer

  “CLOSER” (2004) caught me totally off-guard. I thought it would be a good movie because of the amazing cast (Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Clive Owen) but I didn’t expect it to be as good and as deep and as thought-provoking as I found it to be. Yes, there are some lover…

MomentTracker

MomentTracker has a basic idea: Where were you when the stuff hit the fan? Ok, not exactly in those words but the same premise. It’s a service that lets you share what you were doing when some major event took place such as Obama’s inauguration or on a certain date such as 9/11/2001. So, where…

Fizy and The Power of Simplicity

Sometimes less is indeed more. That’s the case with Fizy which is a powerful new music and video search engine. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles which is actually refreshing in this case. It’s all reminiscent of the early days of Google when it was JUST a search engine. Here’s an example of…

Galway Girl

I’m still thinking about that wonderful movie “P.S. I Love You”.  Here’s a fantastic scene when the widow watches a performer singing a song and then suddenly realizes that it’s the same song that her late husband sang when they first met. Amazing acting by Hilary Swank as her face tells the whole story in…

Shining Light

I can’t get this song out of my head from Annie Lennox called “Shining Light”. It’s a remake of Ash’s original and much better if you ask me.   Roman candles that burn in the night Yeah, you are a shining light You lit a torch in the infinite Yeah, you are a shining light…

The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

I can’t stop listening to “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” by The Script. It was featured in the original motion picture soundtrack for “P.S. I Love You” which I also loved. They’re an Irish band that were called MyTown before. Great song, video and band! The Man Who Can’t Be Moved by THE SCRIPT…
