Renaissance 2.0
I was involved in a horrific six-car pile-up yesterday on my way home from work. I’m sharing this amazing movie called “Unbreakable” because that’s how I felt during the shocking experience of being trapped in my car as it got slammed from the rear with great impact, which then hurled my car into the vehicle…
I could not believe that I was routing for the Boston RedSox to win tonight even though I’m a lifelong Yankee fan. Why would a true pinstriper fan ever do such an unimaginable thing? Well, trust me, I had my reasons and I’ll explain it in a minute. What made this extra painful was the…
Today’s my birthday so I’d like to share one of my favorite songs of all-time. “God of Wonders” is by Third Day and Caedman’s Call for a special City on the Hill project they did together with other Christian music artists. I hope you listen to the song even if you’re not a Christian. It’s…
it’s always sad whenever the world loses a gifted artist, but it’s especially tragic when they die as young as Minnie Ripperton was (31). She’s famous for her one and only number one song, “Loving You” with its amazing 5 1/2 Octav range. It’s still a beautiful song and extremely bittersweet when you think about…
Some People from 1985 by Belouis Some is an infectiously likable tune. After all these years it still puts a smile on my face. The music video is especially enjoyable. The young dancers and the choreography are splendid as are the older actors in the story. In the video, Belouis portrays some kind of pied…
Sometimes, don’t you feel like telling the world to shut their yapper? I’ve always loved Julian Cope’s “World Shut Your Mouth” cause of its unusual sentiment. The music video is unusual too, checkout the unique mic stand he uses. Julian was in a band I liked from the 80s called The Teardrop Explodes. WORLD SHUT…
HeartBurn (1986) is a memorable movie directed by the great Mike Nichols. Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson were brilliant. Their characters were based on real life Nora Ephron and her then husband Carl Bernstein who was the famous journalist from Watergate along with his partner Woodward. Nora Ephron was also the screenwriter for this wonderful…
Here’s the powerful song “Overcome” by Live that captures the feelings I still have about 9/11
Yammer just launched and the best way to describe it is like this: It’s yet another twitter clone but with a twist. It’s your own private twitter service for your company, organization or family. The key is that everyone’s email address must have the same domain. For example, John@Company.com can join the same yammer network…
Definitely, Maybe (2008) caught me by surprise. I liked the people that produced it because they were behind some of my favorite movies (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Nottinghill, Love, Actually, etc.) but other then that I didn’t know anyone else involved with the film. Didn’t know the director, the stars and anything. Well, I…
