Writing

I announce the next step in my career.

In which I discuss the merits of hip-hop music. The good, the bad. Lil Wayne to André 3000.

In which I discuss the role of directors in recent Disney/Pixar films and how they can change.

In which I describe my thoughts on Alzheimer’s disease, my grandmother, and the power of music.

Though being a grown-up means severely shortening the duration of my Thanksgiving break, I’ve found some time to take notes on a few things I’ve noticed during these days off:

I took a French film class my senior year at Iowa State. I’m just now beginning to look back on some of the awesome films we studied.

Avid blog readers, personal historians, and all-purpose stalkers might remember a post I wrote in 2009 detailing the launch of the ISUtv website. That work has come full circle.

Or, “Business That Got Lucky When Choosing a Domain Name.”

In case the most pressing issue on your mind has been, “How many songs mention someone by the name of ‘Jones’?”

I’ve been listening to Pandora a lot, lately. You know, feasting from an array of wonderfully talented composers like Thomas Newman, Randy Newman, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Alan Menken.
