The Arts

My time for the Arts decreased greatly during my time as an MBA student and a CFA® Candidate. Thankfully those Dark Ages have ended. I now hope to find more time for films, literature and music.

The art I am most associated with online is painting, specifically miniature painting. I’m relatively well read. And I have definitely spent too much time writing. I don’t go to the cinema often, however I do have an excellent recollection of the films I have seen and studied. Music remains a part of my life, but I don’t see as many concerts or play much guitar lately. I still lust after a Gretsch.

If you are interested in the Arts you should peruse this archive of blog posts below or you can send me a question using email or social media.

My Favourite Albums

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

I keep trying to improve my various web mashups as APIs change and I pick up a new trick or two. Alas in 2019 I think many of the APIs I was using have become much more restrictive. One idea I had was to decrease the number of albums from every CD I own to say one hundred. I thought this would make the code run better as a lot of effort is spent trying to find information about obscure albums. Even my top 100 albums includes some unusual choices…

Davies Brothers VS Gallagher Brothers at the Olympics

The TSN announcing team commented that it was sad that the Gallagher Brothers couldn’t put aside their differences for one song during “Wonderwall” but no mention was made of Dave Davies during “Waterloo Sunset”…
