Renaissance 2.0
I’ve always loved this gem from the Indigo Girls from way back in the day. It always makes me smile and feel inspired. How can you not love a song that mentions Rasputin and philosophy? Great lyrics with amazing harmonies and beautiful melody delivering an important message. What more could you ever ask from a…
Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós is a beautiful work of art. I first heard it today as the soundtrack to an amazing short film by Carlos Lascano called "A Short Love Story in Stop Motion". I did some searching and discovered that the title translates into “My Winter” and the lyrics describe the joys of youth….
I really enjoy the movies that the Farrelly Brothers make. Yes, I know that some of them (OK all of them) have juvenile, sophomoric humor but over all I love them. There is always something special at the heart of their movies, something tender and moving. I don’t know how they do it. Amidst all…

I finally got all caught up to date with the Mad Men TV series. I bought the first two seasons and proceeded to watch all 26 episodes in no time at all! So now I’m like all of the other Mad Men maniacs anxiously waiting for the 7th episode of season three on Sunday at…
Even though I’m not and have never been a Mac owner, I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary “Welcome to Macintosh”. I found the well-made film extremely informative and entertaining, perhaps because I’m just a huge fan of technology and these types of things get me excited quite easily. For example, I’ve written about my love for…
They say bad news comes in threes but here’s some good news in a Happy Birthday three pack. Coincidentally, it’s the anniversary for three techie things that are pretty popular these days. Here are some good pieces about all three birthday babies. Google Chrome is ONE! (born 9/2/2008, announced 9/1/2008) Blogger turns 10! (Aug 1999)…
