Renaissance 2.0
Here’s one of Janet’s best songs. It’s from 1987, way back when she started her career.It’s all about being patient and not rushing things. It’s a message that’s especially important these days in our microwave society where everyone wants everything NOW! People want to skip the appetizers and even the main course and jump straight…
I love Ne-Yo’s “Sexy Love” and totally enjoyed the performance by Alison and Ivan in season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance with this song. It’s a hip-hop number with a sweet story. The best part is the very end when he puts his coat on her and she opens her umbrella and…
I’ve always loved Robert Palmer’s music but mostly for his early work and not really for all of his biggest hits that came later in his career with songs like Addicted to Love and Simply irresistible. I mean, I still enjoyed his smash hits but I found his more obscure songs more enjoyable. Of all…
I love Joshua Kadison and “Jessie” which was a hit in 1993. He wrote it for his ex-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker who wasn’t anywhere near as popular as she is today.

Fatso (1980) is a hilarious and heart-warming movie written and directed by none other than Anne Bancroft! Yes, Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate! I guess being married to the legendary Mel Brooks so many years rubbed off? Dom Deluise is brilliant in this humorous look at an Italian man’s battle of the bulge. I loved…
I like the look and feel of Tweetizen which is a new service that basically allows you to tag your tweets and create and join groups for Twitter. Groups for twitter is isn’t new as there are a ton of them out there now battling it out as I covered recently for Mashable here. However,…
Here’s an amazing song called “The Circle Game” by the legendary Joni Mitchell. It truly becomes more meaningful with each listening. It’s all the more poignant when you become a parent and watch your children grow up so fast. All too fast. The Circle Game Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly…
My favorite time of the week is Sunday Morning. Love enjoying the silence in my backyard or kitchen table as I sip my giant cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee and surf the web with my laptop. I relish all the glorious nature surrounding me in my yard as well as the technology that allows me…
