Artistry to the max

Craftmanship, musicianship, videography...all come together at a very high level right here:

 

The Art of Making, Alma Flamenca from Deep Green Sea on Vimeo.

Jimmy Fallon & Brian Williams Slow Jam The News

Is this not the best comedy on TV right now? THIS is from last night; the earlier video that I shared on Facebook was from several months ago. It just keeps getting better with each 'slow jam'.

Another Cool Foodie Site

My sister turned me onto Brooklyn Supper. Nice vibe. Great recipes. As they say:

"Brooklyn Supper is a place for seasonal recipes, everyday food ideas, the Brooklyn food scene, rooftop gardening, and farmer’s market resources. There is a great food community in Brooklyn, and throughout the US, and we are happy to be a small part of it."

FreedomPop coverage is not yet available in my neighborhood. When it is, I will signup in a heartbeat. See if it's available where you live and don't hesitate to get on board with this much needed disrupter.

Fox News & Friends Speak Out For Guns

Create music with a biological twist

This is kind of mesmerizing.

Seaquence is an experiment in musical composition. Adopting a biological metaphor, you can create and combine musical lifeforms resulting in an organic, dynamic composition.

Another Cool Music Site - 8tracks

I'm a sucker for Internet radio sites. My favs are Spotify and Pandora. Too early to know if 8tracks will rise to the top but I like what I see and hear so far.

Quantcast - Great marketing tool. Here's a great tip: enter a URL of a site that's related to yours, see the bottom section "Audience Also Likes" and advertise on those sites.

Get Poached by Poachee

At first, I loved this site simply because of its clean and simple design. Clear message.  But my concern was that it was a great job hunting tool overseas. So I asked the owner and he informed me that Poachee.com has a strong focus in the US market and is very well received by the first Americans to use it.

Poachee.com helps recruiters to poach urgently needed workers and passive jobseekers to get a better job!

Marsharivkin

In honor of my friend's wife, Julie, who passed away on 12/29/12, I am featuring the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. On this day, a memorial service is being held in Julie's name.

My friend asks the following:
"Please give generously in Julie’s memory to the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, so that our daughters and granddaughters can enjoy the long lives that they deserve."

Please do so.
