[Review] Netflix’s “Keith Richards: Under the Influence.” Things I Learned (or Forgot I Knew).

January 29, 2017 By Finn Leave a Comment

It was 12:30am on a weeknight. Tuesday or Wednesday last week. I was still wired from all the work still to do to move clients off our platform and onto other sites. ‘Too tired to think. ‘Too wired to sleep. So I started flippin’ through my Netflix list when I realized I still had the […]

The Song at the end of “The Big Short” is “When the Levee Breaks,” by Led Zeppelin.

August 11, 2016 By Finn Leave a Comment

The song that plays at the end of the 2015 movie The Big Short, is none other than Led Zeppelin’s iconic reworking of the anthem “When the Levee Breaks”. It’s the powerful, foreboding 7-minute “coda” to ZOSO, what fellow Zep fans call the otherwise untitled 4th album Led Zeppelin IV. “Reworking?” They covered that? It […]

[review] “The Martian” movie: why it was inspiring, moreso than simply “worth seeing, even if you’ve read the book.”

October 6, 2015 By Finn Leave a Comment

I’ll probably always be one of those who is grateful for having read the book version of a movie before seeing the movie. Especially when the book is pretty awesome. There are typically so many more rich details, incredible intricacies, and interwoven themes that movies just don’t have time to include. Not even Peter Jackson […]

“And now you gotta get it back, and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning.” [Eye of The Tiger Pt. 2]

September 6, 2015 By Finn Leave a Comment

Five-thirty on a Labor Day weekend Friday night. I’m sitting with the dogs outside the Otis Cafe in Otis, OR, while Bruer goes in and has dinner with his brother, brother’s wife, and newborn. Uncle Blaise surprise visit. I volunteered to stay with my dogs so they could eat and catch up. The dogs weren’t […]

Why I want to curb content consumption [media addiction]

December 28, 2014 By Finn 2 Comments

Steve Dalton asked what I meant by the last post, “Curbing Content Consumption.” Looking back on the post, I can see what he meant by that. I stuffed the post’s intention in cute little tag lines but never really expounded as to why we wanted to curb our content consumption. I knew why. Those in […]

2012 Bucket List & keeping promises to myself

May 28, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

the bucket list

As Project 03 re-teaches me all the things I used to know about commitment, integrity and work ethic, I find myself going back through all the list of things I said I’d do. My bucket list for 2012 as you will. More than getting my career to a point where I can travel and research […]

Emilio Estevez’s ‘The Way’ w/ Martin Sheen. Good Father/Son Collaboration.

February 17, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

Some movies you look to watch. Some movies you look to avoid. Some movies you stumble upon along The Way. As in the Emilio Estevez movie, The Way. Why Did I Start Watching The Way? As the wind starting getting back into my sails I started listening to Amos Lee. Found a Ray of Sunshine […]

August 5, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

It’s a tempered summer Friday night & I’m with my family watching The King’s Speech. My aunt & the OldOld man have never seen it and, not to put too fine a point on it, my grandfather needs a break from Fox News. His heart valve transplant surgery recovery has given him more downtime than […]
