Andy Warhol once said that in the future everyone would be so busy that we’d all have to take amphetamines to keep up with the times. As factory fans know, Andy was already doing so. I guess he was half right, because it seems like today there are so many people getting pick me-ups from [...]
Damn, it’s hot in New York during July! Missy and I went to see the sights and Paul McCartney last weekend. It was a good trip. We missed our little bean and are glad to be back with her now. Below are some highlights, including the concert. We have a new private joke now when [...]
I wanted to share notice of the Ovation channel’s annual American Revolutionaries series. I think this is the final week, but it’s worth catching if you can. Blues, Jazz, Rock and everything else intertwine, telling the stories of American music and how it really got to be what it is today. I am very impressed [...]
The artist Beck is always inspiring to me. His recent project is called “Record Club”, in which he and other artists will cover great albums with no rehearsal. I’m really diggin’ this content, especially since the first choice is one of my favorite albums complete with Warhol ties. Check out the video for “Sunday Morning” [...]

Matt Walters spoke on design considerations and the way WordPress can act as a CMS. Mr. Walters has much knowledge of WP and its construction and I would recommend his services to those [...]
After about a year and a half, I’ve been able to release a new website. The site is a collection of the efforts of many. Historians, proofers, and staff from the General Assembly all helped in the creation of this new educational tool which includes SOL components. The website is a virtual tours application where [...]
While heading out of France, (my series of blogs about French related inspiration), I couldn’t forget one of my new favorite songs. I was turned on to this tune when watching the intro film, “Hotel Chevalier” for the newest Wes Anderson movie, “The Darjeeling Limited”, which has an awesome soundtrack filled with Indian and Kinks [...]
To continue my theme of inspiring “Frenchness”, I would like to cite the following super techno duo. I don’t know why, but this set of videos on YouTube always make me tear up. I don’t know if it’s the unity or the sheer hotness of the visuals and sound. Anyway, enjoy all there is on [...]
