Ode to Joy
One of the joys of live music is that you are there the moment beauty is created – when reading a book or viewing a painting your participation is well past the act of creation and in my view that is somewhat isolating. Live music is a shared cultural experience.
The World Is Changing — So Can We
I went for a long bike ride today. I needed to get out and clear my head. The sun was shining, daffodils were emerging along the riverside bike path, dogwood trees were in bloom and at one point I thought to myself, “Yeah, life goes on.” Pretty corny, and maybe even a bit selfish given…
The Genius of People on LinkedIn
Social media is the gift that just keeps on giving. Dropped into my LinkedIn page this morning to see a fund manager – that is someone who takes other peoples money and trades it proclaim that the recent rise in the price of orange juice futures was because people thought vitamin C was good for…
Darwin – The Brilliant Plodder
Charles Darwin is ever with us. A month seldom passes without new books about the man, his life, his work, and his influence—books by scholars for scholars, by scholars for ordinary readers, and by the many unwashed rest of us nonfiction authors who presume to enter the fray, convinced that there’s one more new way…

Best Album and Best Album Artwork Ever…..Change My Mind
One of the joys if you can call it that of being quarantined are long sessions in the gym at home and the rediscovered joy of actually listening to an entire album as opposed to jumping from song to song. Whilst clanging and banging yesterday I dropped Springsteen’s 1975 (fark that long ago) classic album…
Listening To Your Body Clock Can Help Improve Your Performance
In all walks of life we know people who perform better at different times of the day and whether it is at work, school or even at home we can easily think of many examples of people who are either early risers or night owls. It is no different when it comes to sport as…
The World Is Impermanent
That’s what Jerry Colonna told me when I asked him what to do with all the fear and uncertainty going on right now with the market collapse and the COVID-19 pandemic. Not very uplifting. At least, not at first glance. But the truth is, this conversation with Jerry was not about convenient lies and magic pills. It’s…
