Red Beard Saves Print Journalism

by Red Beard on May 29, 2010

Quite the lofty goal for this post, but if the writers at We Have Beards are one thing, it's arrogant. I mean confident. My writing career started in college on the school newspaper. I like to pretend like I was a journalist, obviously I'm still pretending with this blog. Nevertheless, my love of newspapers started long ...

Crowdsourcing Meets Filmmaking

by Red Beard on May 28, 2010

Crowdsourcing is a huge buzz word right now in the tech industry. YouTube just launched Google Moderator to enhance feedback from YouTube users.

French Toast Muffins and a Surprise for Red Beard

May 15, 2010

Red Beard has been bothering me for a while to blog about food. It might be because I’m a good cook, but it’s probably because he likes to eat. The plus side is that I love to cook and the one thing that I love more than cooking is eating, so I’m kind of in [...]

Michael Caine is Harry Brown

May 13, 2010

The revenge thriller is such a common plot that it deserves to be raised above sub-genre and simply become a genre. Most revenge thrillers are about a seemingly weak man, rarely is it a woman, who after failing to get the right people, i.e. the cops, to stand against a menacing threat, takes the matter [...]
