Renaissance 2.0
I really liked “Little Darlings” starring Kirsty McNichol and Tatum O’Neal and a young Matt Dillon (15?). It’s a fun coming of age tale centered around a serious subject matter, virginity. Basically, it’s about a rich girl and poor girl who make a bet to see who could lose their virginity first while at camp….
Despite all personal flaws, Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazing architect and fascinating person. I love his unique, original works that took architecture to the next level. He was an artist with a most original pallet. By far, my favorite design was his signature creation, “Falling Water”. Here’s a brief tour of this incredible masterpiece
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…
