There was a time when it seemed there would be no getting past Celine Dion’s overwhelming voice. Vocal music would end, then and there, along with the 20th century and the millennium. No higher musical peaks worthy of scaling appeared on the horizon. (more…)

Don’t be put off by Home Business magazine’s crammed look and its heavy advertisement content.

If you’re serious about monitoring business and entrepeneurial action and your budget allows, you need to be looking at a broad menu of business magazines. This requires discernment about what topics to spend time with and which ones to skip over because another rag already got you up to speed. (more…)

This pen has grown on me and become one of my favorite ballpoints.
The satin black finish is very classy and goes well with the chrome appointments. Writing quality is good. (more…)

Few things connote to the human spirit the strength, steadiness, and persistence of a tree. We employ its rings to establish the timing of events that occurred long before we were born. We assume its presence after we are gone. A tree stands over the passage of events that come and go under its shade, making them seem small and short-lived. (more…)

Compared to the music Creed later gave us, this debut album must be qualified as a strong start. Understandably, it falls short of the band’s mature sound. (more…)

Comedies don’t get much better than this.
Clooney, Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson are relentlessly hilarious in this loosely Homeric epic of escape from a chain gang in America’s early twentieth-century South. You can love this movie without knowing Homer, of course, though it’s based on that bard’s Oddysey. (more…)

Celebrate the day that Naxos decided to delve into audiobooks. Anton Lesser’s reading of Charles Dickens’ uproarious Pickwick Papers is a triumph. One wonders how so many voices can come out of one man’s pipes short of possession by the spirits of Snodgrass, Tuchman, and Pickwick themselves. (more…)

This very fine collection of reproductions of articles related to the Allied invasion of Europe on June 6, 1944 and the slog to Paris is topped off by an item I didn’t even find until I’d worked through the whole book: a superb cd containing first-person accounts by D-Day veterans from Britain, America, and Germany.

When I misplaced the trusty Sennheisers that go everywhere with me just prior to a two-week family vacation, I was forced to pick up this Sony set in an airport kiosk.
Imagine my surprise at the exceptional sound, which competes with headphones occupying much higher price point.
If it’s sound you want, and you want it at home, these headphones would make a superb choice.
The big caveat: they are clumsy when traveling. The Sony MDR-NC6 has none of the stowability of my Sennheisers. They are big, bulky, and have not learned the exercise tha makes it possible for a giraffe to get to a zoo in a train car. They simply don’t fold up.
You drop them awkwardly into a Sony drawstring-equipped bag and cart’em along with you. They would easily break on one of my flights.
So save some serious bucks and buy this set of Sony’s if you don’t need to wrap them around a mobile head. But if travel you must, upgrade to the Sennheisers for great sound and great portability.
