The last high-end Windows phone that I owned was the Lumia 928 back in May 2013. Since then I’ve owned a Lumia 635 and 640, one a low-end device and the other mid-range respectively (plus an iPhone 6 but we won’t go there for now). In steps the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL...
Ghost the Musical: An Unapologetic (Not So) In-Depth Review
This previous Thursday (February 20, 2014) I had the privilege to once again return to the Hobby Center for Performing Arts in Houston, Texas. My fiancé and I have a season subscription to the Gexa Energy Broadway in Houston. This show was Ghost the Musical based on the Patrick Swayze movie “Ghost.” I had heard that the visuals and illusion type effects were pretty awesome, so I had relatively high hopes for this production. The following is my not so in-depth review...
The Book of Mormon
The best way to describe my experience with the Book of Mormon musical is that it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting but not as good as I had been led to believe. With three Tony Awards (Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score) and a Grammy Award (Best Musical Theater Album) among all the critical acclaim, I was prepared for this show to be quite the performance. And in a way, I suppose it was...
Philosophy of Leadership
As a student of the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston, I am required to take a class called "Leadership in the Hospitality Industry" most often truncated to plain "Leadership" among the student ranks. As you can imagine, the class is centered around being a leader and not just a manager during your professional career. The last paper we were assigned to write was on the topic of our leadership philosophy. I decided to share this with any who are interested...
Windows Phone 8 and Xbox Music Pass
I wish this whole thing was one big joke. But it's both too early and too late for an April Fools.
I commend Microsoft for adding Media Transfer Protocol. This is fantastic for downloading pictures to the computer and quickly moving various files back and forth. It could be argued we should have had this with Windows Phone 7. Alright, we have it now. And sure, it even gives consumers the ability to use third-party options should they so choose. Great. This makes me excited.
Okay, so let me go sync my music collection...
Windows 8 – At a Glance
Windows 8 has officially been released! I've been playing around with the Windows 8 Release Preview for some time now and have been waiting anxiously for the official release. Well, that time has finally come! Along with that was the much anticipated release of Microsoft's Surface with Windows RT... [Video After Link]
Beauty and the Beast
A couple Sundays ago, September 30 to be exact, I was lucky enough to go see Disney's Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Texas. I found it interesting to compare the lengths between the feature film, the Broadway musical and the show performed at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. The feature film would obviously be the standard, setting the pace for the story. The DHS version does a great job hitting the highlights, telling the story and giving you the music you would expect. The Broadway musical is like the feature film on steroids. You get the story, highlights, filler, music, more story and more music. If I were to sum the musical up in the form of one word, great!
