Renaissance 2.0
Here’s a blast from the past to the 1980s. Flash N’ the Pan and their “MEDIA MAN” hit which eerily fits in well with today’s new media age. Even the name of the band is ironic as Adobe Flash continues to get panned by Apple. Sit back and enjoy this song from more than a…
I’ve got Jason Derulo’s song stuck “in my head”. No really, I keep thinking about that amazing live performance he gave on American Idol this week for his song “In My Head”. It wasn’t just my favorite live performance this season by ANY artist but perhaps of all nine seasons of Idol. It was that…
Today is a landmark date in technology as Apple officially releases the much hyped iPad which will change the way we view computers yet again. However, don’t be fooled. This isn’t all that new or ground-breaking. When it comes to technology, everything old is new again. For example, the concept of a tablet PC and…
Here’s another gem from Five for Fighting from their album SLICE. We all have our own story, our ups and downs, our triumphs and tragedies…This song captures our journey so well.

I love Zooey Deschanel so of course I was thrilled to see her new music video with SHE & HIM for their new song “IN THE SUN”. It’s such a joyful song and video with scenes in high school hall ways and classroom. It’s such a reflection of her cute and quirky personality. Enjoy!
Katheryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever win the Oscar for best director last night for her amazing work with THE HURT LOCKER (2009). I’ve enjoyed all of the success she and this wonderful movie has experienced this entire awards season because I loved it before anyone else did. I mean, they had me…
All these years I’ve never understand what in the world “Man in Motion” was all about. It’s the theme song from one of my favorite movies, “St. Elmo’s Fire” by John Parr and David Foster. It was a big number one hit song and it made a nice music video with clips from the movie…
Sometimes it can be fun to watch movies or videos as a group in real-time even when everyone is located in different regions of the globe.
