The Sunday Re-Blog – Epic Music Moments in Movies

04/07/2013 Leave a comment

Hello reader!

Part of the continued existence of this Blog is as a place for me to consider blogging as a whole, and to interact with it in terms of lessons learned and lessons I can share with you. Hopefully we learn something about blogging on the way, right? So my plan is to, once a week, re-blog either something I have written, or something I’ve found out in the Blogosphere.

Since I’m currently in the middle of an experiment with my last post, I thought I would re-blog a fun list post I put together over on my other blog, Comparative Geeks. This one is about letting the music and scenes do the talking for you in a movie, rather than having to fill the space with dialog or exposition. Found the clips I wanted to talk about on YouTube, too, so check it out! Read more of this post

Five Wines You Should Not Miss at our Tasting Room

The Lake Onondaga Sparkling

Planning a trip to the Lake Onondaga Vineyards? Make sure you get a tasting of these five exceptional – and unique to the tasting room – wines.

1. The Lake Onondaga Sparkling

We wish we could call it a Champagne. We can’t. Though the grapes are from the correct areas in France, and the results are everything and more that you might expect from a proper Champagne, we have to call it a sparkling wine. That works for us – it’s the best Sparkling Wine we know of. It’s so popular, in fact, that you can only pick it up in our tasting room, or else through membership in our wine club – because the members tend to pick it up in cases. This hot commodity is worth the try, and you may just take some home with you too. Read more of this post

What are the best Video Games?

06/09/2012 Leave a comment

I am interested in a couple of main things in video games, mainly around story telling, and then around social activity with friends and family. Maybe you picked up on this in my recent blog post. However, games mean a lot of things to a lot of people, and as I mentioned recently in a conversation about World of Warcraft, few games hit on all of these gaming needs and types (my point being that WOW sure tries to do so!).

I went to the Art of Video Games Exhibit recently, and it was a lot of fun. Even better was how it was taking games seriously. It approached games both by console, and by four groupings: Target (think Halo), Adventure (think Zelda), Tactics (think StarCraft), and Action (think Mario). Check out their list here. What is neat about this list is users voted on it, so it is a really good listing of games that have stuck with people and impacted them. Read more of this post
