Here are some great things to do when you visit Austin:  Austin City Limits I grew up seeing acts including Willie Nelson, Little Feat,…

    Contributing To The New MacAdmins Podcast: Episode 1 is out!

    When I was speaking at MacADUK, I asked Tom Bridge about starting a podcast. He’s got a great voice, and I thought he’d be a great co-host. Before we were able to get to that when we got home, Adam Codega, independently of the conversation I’d had with Tom, dropped a note on Twitter to see who else might be interested in doing a Podcast. A few people responded that they’d be interested in also jumping in on a new Podcast. Over the next few weeks, decisions were made that the podcast would be hosted as a part of MacAdmins.org, the format, the hosting location, and lots of other really cool stuff.…

    The Top 25 Animated Cartoons From The 80’s

    I don’t know why, but I decided to put this article up on Medium. Experimenting with different stuffs. Hope you enjoy. People who were kids in the 80’s often reminisce and declare the fact that there are no longer any good cartoons these days. They say this with a look of nostalgia always on their faces as they watch modern cartoons (often with the kids). The 1980’s was a period where animated cartoons were just beginning to gain popularity — the rise of the Saturday morning cartoon. And unlike today’s animated offering, they were filled with deep, rich content that parents were comfortable with. Not to say that the cartoons these days…

    My Article On 17 Parallels Between House of Cards and Real Politics On Medium

    House Of Cards Debuted on Netflix in 2013, and was immediately a fan-favorite, capturing audiences instantly due to its high-drama situations, scandal, lying, cheating, the sheer power of the characters, the wonderful acting, and everything in between. Chances are, House Of Cards appeals so much to people in the U.S. because it’s a dramatized version of our own politics; politics that especially this election season seem completely foreign to most Americans. It feels somewhat like a peek behind closed doors, even though it’s fiction. …Or is it? Read More On Medium, here.
