Jeeeeezus. It's lies all the way down. Did we ever arrive at a true statement from them or is that where they left it? The irony is how unnecessary it was. They could've just said,…

You might be surprised at how many famous professional musicians don't read music notation. Outside of the classical world, session work, and jazz fake-books, it's far from de rigu…

Welp, the market didn't like that. GOOG dropped about 5% on that news.

I feel like this overstates the point a bit. The video store was always just a means to an end for me, the clerks always sullen, the process of agreeing on a movie always long & di…

Interesting topic, but (to immediately veer off of it) I really wish he would find another word and stop misusing "conspiracy." The word has already been through hell.

I'm not caring so much about the Cedrus genus, as the dilution of the word through unimaginative overuse and over-application. But to the extent that it still means anything at all…
