Looking back at the 2016 elections, I have one regret. I spent too much time reading about them ahead of time. The media missed the big story - Trump's win. Only FiveThirtyEight got it right - Trump had

The Who's Tommy turns 50 years old today. I was inspired by the music and the storytelling. Instead of a collection of unrelated singles, Tommy is a story. There are characters, a narrator and a story

At first, I watched Twitch and didn't totally get it. Watching people play video games? Today, Twitch and everything around it have evolved. We now have "celebrity gamers" - the well known Twitch

Nostalgia and TV are a tough mix. We all love the shows we enjoyed when we were growing up. Revisiting them can be fun if you watch a few YouTube clips, but start watching entire episodes of 70's and 80's

It's fun to revisit old content that we enjoyed decades ago. What types of content have a high "re-experience" value? On the bottom of the list is video games. I've re-played Age of Empires,

I have been playing World of Warcraft since 2007. I was an "intermediate player" - did some of the tough content, but had a good time doing a bit of everything. Blizzard was honest - they earned

Winter is coming, and you need winter clothes shipped to Israel - or any country outside of the US and Europe. Shipping from Amazon is either expensive or impossible, as many sellers don't ship clothes

The Dark Web. We've read about it, and many of us have tried it once or twice just to see it. Recently, a bunch of news articles in the media have shown how awful a place it is to break the law. Here's

The new World of Warcraft expansion came just on time for me - middle of summer, lots of free time and too hot to be outside except for quick runs to the mall. Battle For Azeroth capitalized on good ideas

In the mist of time, before rock music overtook everything else, was a music genre called Space Age Pop. AKA Bachelor Pad Music, or Lounge Music. The pre-rock stuff that was not pop or jazz. I started

Vinyl. It sounds like a nice hobby, but then you start to think - the hardware cost and for me the worst part - adding more "stuff" that takes up space. Like many of you, I've "downsized"

Ringo Starr and his band gave a wonderful performance in Tel Aviv a few weeks ago. Instead of doing just a Beatles nostalgia show, since 1989 he has a band which changes over time, comprised of musicians
