This was very interesting…. and also heart breaking at the same time. It came out in 1991, so not long after the wall had fallen. At the end, one of the guards thought he may have to eventually face charges from the West. One part that really touched me was a former guard who shot…
This is a documentary that chronicles three University students digging a tunnel underneath the Berlin Wall. It was financed by NBC. The students were given the equivalent of $150k for the exclusive rights to film them digging. It was hosted by Piers Anderton who was 44 years old at the time. He died 41 years…

For some reason, Subway is not doing as…
Quick glance of how I use the memento android app and airtable to organize and keep track of content I publish for my network of blogs on varying platforms.. I used Memento exclusively for several years before Airtable came out… and still do… but in a different way..
This is part 2 of a three part series. This episode deals with fibs and myths surrounding the Civil War. This is interesting, especially since it’s coming from a British perspective. You can watch it for free with Amazon Prime and a subscription to BBC Select… which I highly recommend.. You can click on the…

I recorded this from the 9th Floor…. View of the St. James building where I used to live and downtown Huntington WV…..
