The Shape of Water - Review

A quick review of The Shape of Water. #movies #review

My wife and I finally went to see The Shape of Water yesterday.  It’s a movie I had planned on seeing the moment it came out, and really wanted to have seen it to include in my Top Movies of 2017 post  (In fact, I plan on updating that post and placing this somewhere in the list, I’m just unsure where to place it right now), but suffice it to say life got in the way that prevented me from seeing…

Here are a couple of things she had to say:

“…the music is deeply emotive and often permeated by a haunting melancholy throughout, with shimmers of sunlight and glimmers of hope sprinkled along its course. Incorporating both vintage and modern synthesizer sounds, Richie even brings…

The Dark Tower Movie - Spoiler Free Review

The Dark Tower Movie – Spoiler Free Review

For the uninitiated, The Dark Tower Movie is based on the Dark Tower series of books by Stephen King.  It details the quest of Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger in mid-world on his quest toward the tower and in pursuit of The Man in Black.  It is a mix of western; sci-fi; fantasy and a honestly a sh*t ton of fun to read.

The book series has a legion of highly devoted and passionate fans, and I…

Pillars In Time

Pillars In Time. A Special Thanks to the SharePoint Community

Community: A feeling of fellowship with others, sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. Support: Giving assistance to, or holding up… Like a Pillar.

I have been asked many times if I was ever going to do an album that was specifically “SharePoint” themed, and I toyed around with it from time to time, but quite honestly it just wasn’t working out. Also, what would the songs be named?…

My biggest musical influence. My dad. An early Fathers' day Thanks!

My biggest musical influence. My dad. An early Fathers’ day Thanks!

People often ask me who my largest influences are, and I generally reply with the names of John Williams, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream.   However, as I was driving this morning and reflecting on these things I came to realize it was truly none of these.

The first time I heard the music of John Williamswas through the wonderful soundtrack music he has created, and in which I was…

The facts about my streaming income and why I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga.

The facts about my streaming income and why I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga.

I had a friend ask me the following question on Facebook and I think they were a bit shocked by my response.

The question was “If I played your music 24×7 for a month, how much would you actually get?”

And my answer was, “maybe $40 dollars“.

Well, that’s the direct answer to the question.  The full answer was this: “At an average of 0.004 cent(s) a stream, maybe $40 dollars. That is if you were…
