The Delivery Presents – The Big Health Care Number and What is Cool.

| January 27, 2012 | Comments (1)

For Episode 131, I turned to one of the smartest and coolest people I know — Ben Domenech of the Coffee and Markets podcast, among other places — to join me for the entire show. I won’t even begin to describe everything you’ll get in the whole hour, but I’ll give you two little tidbits. [...]

Share my Christmas Tradition: Handel’s Messiah on Christmas Night

Share my Christmas Tradition: Handel’s Messiah on Christmas Night

| December 25, 2011 | Comments (1)

One of my personal Christmas traditions (and I have a few) involves a little quiet, a pair of headphones, and a superlative recording of Messiah by Georg Frederich Handel.

I admit, even though I love when people take “old” media and find new ways to present it with new technology, I’m torn on this story. The iPad 2 commercials that boast about how Apple’s tablet lets you “touch the stars” and “listen to a magazine” are cool and all, but Steve Jobs could probably [...]

A Little Night Music to Take You Back: “Inchworm”

| June 27, 2011 | Comments (0)

How about a video? Here’s “Inchworm”, an old Sesame Street classic. Just because. My Mom used to sing this song to me when I was young and, sometimes, I’d sing the counterpoint melody — the part with the math. I still have days and nights, even as a grizzled adult, when I want my Mom [...]

Friday Night Awesomeness Break: Five Minutes of Neil Peart

| June 10, 2011 | Comments (3)

If this 5-minute (give or take) Neil Peart drum solo from last night’s episode of David Letterman’s show doesn’t give you a couple good cases of the chillbumps, then we really need to talk.
