Recent Academy Award “Best Animated Feature” winner, Pixar’s “Inside Out” was one of the best movies released last year. Part of the appeal was how it used cartoonish illustrations to show the interplay of emotions within a person’s head. But what happens if you take away the “inside” parts? You still end up with a pretty […]
Not often I get to combine my Throwback Thursday and Friday Fun Link but after making a fairly spontaneous decision to go to a midnight showing of the new Star Wars movie last night, I thought posting this picture was a bit of both categories. I’ll try to keep it spoiler-free as I give a […]
This amazing mash-up has been making the rounds on social media…
As mentioned in Sunday’s post about our recent camping highlights, here’s a video clip Pace basically compiled himself after I showed him the basics of using iMovie. This includes adding sound effects, visual effects, trimming some of the clips, duplicating others and more. If you happen to have a Google/YouTube account, feel free to “Like” […]

How is this not file-sharing? Great article that […]
Is there a better coming-of-age movie than “Stand By Me”? And the title song of that movie is part of the reason it had such an impact on me. I remember seeing “Stand By Me” in the theatre in Indian Head when I was about 13 years old then walking out into the street and […]
On the recommendation of a co-worker, Shea and I are working through “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, a Netflix original series. (That link will go to Wikiwand.com – a site I recently discovered that presents Wikipedia pages in a more visually appealing, readable format.) Watching that series led me to this article which discusses how a company that’s […]
