Dome Pondering

What is it about?  An emotionally stunted and workaholic aunt has to watch her teenage niece who ios struggling with finding her place in the world.  Who is in it? Taylor Schilling - Kate Bryn Vale - Maddie Brian Tyree Henry - Pete Favorite Scene:  Maddie introduces her new friend, "Baby Joker," to Kate, and they then all go out to dinner so Kate can get to know him better.  Favorite Quote:  "I snagged some toquitos from work...oooooh, snack time all the time. Never catch me hungry. Nom nom!" Review:  Family was a great find deep in the Tubi listing. I felt in the mood for an easy, yet funny movie, and I definitely nailed it with this selection. Family hits that need well - entertaining, good acting, hilarious at points, and a quick film.  Taylor Schilling was really good as the emotionless character, Kate. So much of the writing and interaction between the characters, especially how they bounce off of Kate's rudeness, will keep you hooked.  Speci...

Artificial Intelligence in K-12 This week, I had the opportunity to talk to two dads who work in K-12 education. One is a teacher, and the other is a tech engineer who provides the digital infrastructure for a school district. What I came away with was that artificial intelligence was being slowly integrated into teachers' everyday lives, with some restrictions. However, the tech engineer gave me real insight (with real-time laptop evidence) of some of the tools being built to automate everything from bus schedules and communications to medical visits and disciplinary processes.  All of that to say, just when you think you understand the power of A.I., there are so many levels to it all .  So many... Sports Media Space With the recent run of my New York Knicks (you can see my comments after every game), what I have come to realize wholeheartedly, and also appreciate, is that so much of the sports media know very little about the topics they discuss daily.  No, really....

Heavy on sourcing strength digging deep for old treasures  and the courage to sort, uncovering the heart and future growth. 

NBA Finals The NBA Finals are set. And sure, I am very biased ( in a strong way ) with a rooting interest towards my New York Knicks. However, the matchup is intriguing because it gives the NBA a guaranteed different NBA Champion for the eighth consecutive year.  But mostly, the match-up is such a dream for the NBA with stars, basketball-loving markets, and an NBA Cup rematch from this season.  So much for the early-season narratives that the NBA is unwatchable - the season and playoffs up to this point have been tremendous .  #LGK American 250 America turning 250 years old should be special. It's a nice round number that is worthy of a huge celebration. Plus, the country can use something - really, anything! - to bring it closer together. Regardless of the distance, the gap is closed.  This week, potential plans for such a show, which already felt subpar in its planning state before it fell apart, are  now in peril of becoming a rally . Sigh. Ughhhhhhhhh... Thi...

A lot of pro wrestling seems stuck in the mud right now. Nothing is terrible, but nothing outright moves me. As some of the summer's biggest shows hit the forefront of our minds, Clash in Italy felt like the kind of show that could jump-start some intrigue as the summer begins to take shape.  At the very least, WWE overseas has become intriguing for the amazing atmosphere typically seen at these shows. Italy didn't disappoint. And seeing that the WWE stacked this card quite a bit, it was a show that stood out as a can't-miss on a Sunday afternoon.  Simply put, Clash at Italy was great. And, it did its job - I enjoyed some pro wrestling on a Sunday afternoon, and I'm intrigued for what's to come this summer.  Some other thoughts from Clash in Italy (2026):  Random Tidbits The reduced stage setup is still cool in my opinion. I don't think elaborate stages are necessary for larger events, especially at the expense of additional seats being filled. I know this has ...

Perfectly, imperfect. 

261. Would you rather watch a marathon of your favorite television show or read a book all day? This is a good one as a good TV show is so easy - sooooooo easy! - to fall captive to. However, I still believe a good book is unmatched. I don't get much free time to read a book all day, but give me a beach, a drink, and a good book, and that right there is peace.  I select the book option, but I can't go wrong here. 262. Would you rather have to wear a tuxedo shirt every day for a month or have to wear a tutu every day for a month? Ummm, if I had a daughter, the tutu thing would be an easy explanation. I'm just going to go with the tuxedo shirt, and I'll try my best to come up with a reason for doing it.  263. Would you rather always hit a red light for the rest of your life or always get slow internet after the sun goes down? I lived in NYC for most of my life, going red light to red light isn't as bad as maybe the auther of this question thought it would be. I'm ...

The indescribable  comfort for the places  and people that shaped your present 

What is it about?  Two adults find love and peace after taking a risk with one another after previously failed marriages.  Who is in it?  Taye Diggs - Johnnie Bryant Megan Good - Carlie Walters Favorite Scene:  Carlie comes home after driving Johnnie's prized car to the sight of Johnnie and the girls fixing the house and planting new flowers. Favorite Quote:  "All the time we have is all the time we have. A true appreciation of time is how we use it." Review: Forever is a film that gets better as it moves along, and ultimately, once you're able to review it collectively. In the end, it's a somewhat decent film that presents a profound message utilizing two characters that you root for, and eventually, feel for.  Lifetime, flicks - ammirite? In the first half of the film, I found myself shaking my head - where is this going?! The build of the plot has little resistance (especially for a romance arc of Johnnie and Carlie), and at times, it can be very cheesy....
