In the course of building a media empire, it's important to take pause every so often to reconnect with one's roots. Too often, we get caught in the never-ending train of day-to-day tasks and lose track of how quickly time is passing. This is especially true if the course of life moves you to a… Continue reading Homecoming

It never ceases to astound me how tiny gestures can have such a huge impact. All of this was brought very much into focus last week as I was preparing for some (very much needed) time off from my day job. To give some backstory, about a year ago I started using one of the… Continue reading Monday Motivation

I blew my nose one last time as we left the garage, thanking the heavens that the Excedrin was finally starting to kick in and praying I'd make it through the next few hours. Dark clouds threatened overhead, scattering a few cold raindrops as we approached the designated meet spot. At our left was the… Continue reading Showtime

In retrospect, we really should have known better. We'd entered the task under the assumption that it would be fairly easy to find a solution we wanted. This was because theoretically, what we were doing should have been a simple task: screen sharing a particular video to a pre-selected and thus very limited audience via a private… Continue reading YES WE CAN!

So, it finally happened. The warning signs had been building for a while, so it's not like it came as a huge surprise. Being the person I am, I had even planned ahead and scheduled some time off at the end of the month to recuperate, foolishly believing that by promising a break in the… Continue reading Balance

August has always seemed to me a weird month. In my part of the world, August represents heat, storms, and a sense of rush that comes with the end of summer and realizing one hasn't yet done everything they set out to do that season. Children lament the end of their daily freedoms as they… Continue reading Dog Days

So an interesting thing came up on the PostModern Jukebox Facebook page a week or so ago. A listener made some comments about how he was tired of PMJ doing covers of modern hits in styles of a different era. Why can't they just cover the hits of those eras? Never mind that re-stylized covers… Continue reading Haters Gonna Hate

A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out some old papers from Baron's filing cabinet and came across a receipt dated August 8, 2014. I smiled as I remembered that night. It was a Friday, and I was curled up in front of a fan, banging randomly on my laptop keys in the hope of… Continue reading How Far We’ve Come

When I was a little girl, my grandfather used to play the most delightful pranks in the garden. If you planted a watermelon seed there first thing in the morning, it would be grown and ripe by dinnertime. Cheerios sprouted entire boxes of doughnuts still in their packaging. Popsicle sticks similarly bloomed, the audacity of… Continue reading The Garden of Entenmann’s
