Renaissance 2.0
I recently watched Mr. Wonderful (1993) again after many years and thoroughly enjoyed it more than ever before. I think this is an extremely underrated movie by Anthony Minghella who went on to win the Oscar for the English Patient a few years later. I absolutely loved this movie starring Matt Dillon and Annabella Sciorra…
I’ve always enjoyed a good documentary but more so in recent years because they seem to have gotten much better in quality and style. The directors seem to make their subject matter so much more entertaining and their films more informative. In any event, here are just some of my favorite documentaries that I really…
It’s Thanksgiving time and I always wind up thinking about not only all of the people and things that I am thankful for in my life but also forgiveness for some reason. I think this is the perfect time to reach out and either forgive someone or ask someone for forgiveness. You don’t even really…
I love seeing old video of new technology or predictions of the future. Here’s a classic piece from 1963 called Timesharing: A solution to Computer Bottlenecks which is basically about cloud computing. It truly is amazing how far we’ve come when it comes to computers.

Here’s a mock movie poster I made from the one for FUEL. Just added the BP logo. Checkout the creative new logos others have created for BP.
I really like this song from Lady Antebellum “I Run to You”. “I Run To You” I run from hate I run from prejudice I run from pessimists But I run too late I run my life Or is it running me Run from my past I run too fast Or too slow it seems…
Here’s my first text-to-speech animation that I called “SOCIAL MISFIT”. It’s about how silly all this social media stuff can be sometimes when people take things too personally when complete strangers decide to unfollow you on a social network for no good reason.
I just saw INCEPTION and I have to say that I was blown away. It was even better than I expected. Director Christoher Nolan and Leonardio DiCaprio should both win Oscars for this work. Nolan should also win for his intricate, thought-provoking mind-bending screenplay that took 10 years to craft (and it shows by the…
Here’s the exit song from “So You Think You Can Dance” called “SHINE” by Black Gold. SHINE she knows it’s time to say goodbye to all that she wanted for all that she loves. devotes her mind to thoughts divine for all that she needed and all that she loves recites the lines repeats the…
