  • Play the Game

    O, how I love some of those sugary sweet songs from the 70s or 80s. Everyone knows Queen, but a lot of people aren’t familiar with this song. Crank it up and enjoy the beautiful harmonies and the hi-tech special effects. Genius from 1980.

  • Toxic

    Stevie Ann covers Britney Spear’s song, “Toxic.” I could never be accused of being a Britney fan, but this is a beautiful song when sung by Stevie Ann. It’s a clean, sparse, slowed-down version. What a smooth voice she has!

  • A Kinder, Gentler Philosophy of Success

    This is one of the best clips I've seen in a long time. Alain de Botton is a genius at explaining the paradoxical nature of success and failure while being funny.

    When we judge another, we don't define them, we define ourselves as people who feel the need to judge. I think that Alain’s my twin brother of a different mother!

  • Visit Smile-Therapy.com Every Day

    Tim Smith, a friend from Syracuse, New York, has a great site. As Tim says, the concept of smile therapy has been in the works since the mid-1990s. It’s very simple. Tim got so sick and tired of the negative news in the media that he wondered if anything good ever happens. The answer, of course, is plenty. And the simple question came up: Can people use more good news in their life?
