Renaissance 2.0
I find Ayn Rand so fascinating! Her philosophies and writing have captivated countless people and will continue to do so forever. Here’s an intriguing interview of Ayn Rand by Mike Wallace (from 60 minutes fame) some 50 years ago in 1959! She and her writing are timeless. Here’s Ayn with Tom Snyder almost 20…
Here’s the classic “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash. The original video of him singing this on the streets of Washington DC is no longer on Youtube or anywhere else for some reason. This video is from the Mightnight Special from 1973. It’s hard to not feel good after hearing this song. It…
I love this music used in an old Prego spaghetti sauce commercial. The mp3 was on their website for a long time but sadly not anymore. The music was composed by David Horowitz and the violin solo was done by Regis Landiorio. It’s so Italian and makes me feel so at home. I can smell…
I just watched “He’s Just Not That Into You” and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had expected it to be lightweight and kind of a chick flick but it was neither. There was plenty in this well-written story for men and women both. Lots of laughs but there were some surprisingly touching scenes and serious themes….
The Last of the Mohicans is a thrilling motion picture with plenty of action and romantic scenes to please men and women equally. There are some memorable moments that I still think about from time to time such as this waterfall scene. The speech Daniel Day-Lewis gives Madeleine Stowe is powerfully moving. “You stay alive!…
Twinbox is the new name for Outlook plug-in formerly known as OutTwit while in beta. It’s the tool that allows you to work with twitter from within your Microsoft Outlook email client. Obviously, this can never replace Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop when it comes to full-powered twitter clients but it can be the perfect solution…
Tungle.me has launched an interesting new service that uses social networking to make scheduling meetings online much easier. Doing this within the same company isn’t a problem with Microsoft Outlook on an Exchange email system because all employees can see each other’s busy calendar schedules and free times, but it’s a royal pain if you…
The movie “City Slickers” is an underrated movie in my book. It’s not only hilarious but there are many heart-warming memorable scenes such as Billy Crystal’s speech at his son’s school and the one where Jack Palance (Curly) shares his secret of life theory. He said it’s One Thing and Billy asked what that one…
One of my favorite performers ever from “So You Think You Can Dance” was Blake McGrath from season one. He might actually be my favorite period if it weren’t for his ego which prevented him from winning the first season of SYTYCD. Still, he ranks right up there with Benji who won season two and…
It should be no surprise that “Dead Poet’s Society” is one of my all-time favorite movies. After all, the name of this blog is “Seizing the Day” and clearly inspired by the Carpe Diem phrase from the movie which means Seize the Day! Even after all these years, I still think of this movie a…
