As long as I can remember I have loved movies and film. Really, all aspects of cinema from making it, to experiencing it. Recently I’ve found myself leaning heavily on the later. I’ve become purely a consumer of this media, and wondering how I’ve lost my way.
I’ve heard both sides of the debate about whether a “web designer” should be able to code his own designs. I know the reasons for and against, and frankly it worries me. I’ll be the first to admit that nothing puts my mind at ease more than knowing that the design that I’ve put together in Fireworks will be marked-up…
I had to stifle a squeal of child-like glee when I returned from lunch, and before getting back to work, I logged onto Facebook and discovered that FINALLY, after about of week of anticipation my account reflected the new UI re-design.
All of my life I’ve been involved in the eternal struggle between due process and due personal logic. That to mean my way of doing things VS the way prescribed by given “expert”, text, or authority. I’m finding more and more as I get older that the adage about cat skinning wasn’t too far off.
Recently I heard an interview on my local NPR station KERA with musician and author Ted Gioa who wrote a book called “The Birth (and death) of Cool“. He talked about trends in culture and the public’s mindset over the past few decades and how there has been a shift recently.
Come up with this list proved to a bit more difficult than you would think. For me the years between 2000 and 2009 proved to be quiet formative in regards to my musical appreciation. This is a list of music that for one reason or another had an impact or effected me . Here’s my twenty.
As promised here’s my list of best albums of the year 2009 edition. Admittedly 2009 was a bit of a dry year for me music-wise, I’ve stayed pretty buys. But I did manage to find some time to work on this list.
I’m sure we’ve all heard it way too many times lately. The prevailing default reason for something being not-quite up to snuff by most standards. We say, “Well, in this economy have to try to fix things before buying a new one” and “In this economy you have to look for new ways to save.”
