Renaissance 2.0
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…
I’ve shared a couple of my favorite XTC songs and music videos on here before with “Dear God” and “King for a Day”. Here’s another one that I really like called "The Mayor of Simpleton”. I especially enjoy the music video which is an homage to Emma Peel and the Avengers TV show. It’s such…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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” (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 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…
