The Other Brian Woodbury A couple of years ago, I discovered there was another musician also named Brian Woodbury. He was a young jazz trombonist who was just releasing his first solo album.

Stephen Hawking inspired this song
Steven Hawking, the brilliant scientist, occasionally ventured into dubious socio-political pronouncements.

Disruptors. Are we over them yet?
We live in an age of disruption. Both in technology & politics. The exploitation and corruption rival the Gilded Age. Tech giants and startups alike make end runs around hard-fought labor rights and democracy. Political opportunists go all in on accommodating them. Meanwhile, we are told that disruption is not only an economic necessity, but […]
