Windward Notes – Inspiration For Every Voice

by WCS Blogmeister

A friend sent me this and I had to share it. After the singer speaks, hit pause and wrap your head around what she just said. How do you know you’re singing a correct pitch if you can’t hear it? You sing it over and over into a receiver that works much like a guitar […]

Windward Notes – Did You Hear That?

by WCS Blogmeister

In the never-ending quest to eat fresh plants and animals I find myself shopping for groceries on my way home from the office several times a week. Yeah, there’s a Costco haul of massive proportions from time to time but the regular flow of food from the store to my face is usually done in […]

by WCS Blogmeister

Much going on with Memorial Day and family craziness so I wanted to pass on something that I’ve been using for  long while. If you’re looking for a zillion pieces of Hawaiian music and chords and EVERYTHING, this is the place: Mike Bonnice’s Massive Library Grab your ukulele and explore!

Windward Notes – When Does 3 Equal 4 (Besides Never)?

by WCS Blogmeister

Back when I was a Silicon Valley consultant (multi-dimensional database design…seriously nerdly) I worked on a project for a company that sold things by the case.

Windward Notes – Not the Titanic

by WCS Blogmeister

Before I blast into the blog I just have to show you this amazing thing that I didn’t know existed but everybody should know about because it is SERIOUSLY cool. How about a multi-camera live feed… …from the International Space Station. Totally mesmerizing. Try having it rolling along in one corner of your screen while […]

Windward Notes – Keep the Passengers INSIDE the Plane

by WCS Blogmeister

I’ve flown a lot of things over the years and every one of them that I threw into the sky had some sort of checklist. Preparing to fall in the “up” direction, even if you’ve done it a zillion times and flown thousands of hours, has a certain level of stress and fun and excitement […]

Windward Notes – Buttons On a Bus

by WCS Blogmeister

My commute takes me along the Nimitz highway under the H-1 near the airport. This particular stretch has quite a few bus stops so there’s almost always one nearby pulling into and out of one. I was enjoying the adrenaline-filled 5-miles-per-hour pace that speeds along at rush hour when a bus a few cars ahead […]

Windward Notes – Fore!

by WCS Blogmeister

I used to play a lot of golf before my back and my knees told me to stop, it’s not only a fun and challenging sport but it’s usually played in some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Good fun. One sunny Saturday my mentor and former PGA Tour pro joined me at […]

Windward Notes – Up and Over

by WCS Blogmeister

I got this from a friend who knew that I used to hang out (that’s a pun…you’ll see) with the filmmaker’s father back about a zillion years ago in New York. Beautiful and inspiring, be sure to go full screen for the full HD experience. https://youtu.be/Qt9xllBQTx8 And a note from someone who used to do […]

Windward Notes – Strings and Horns and Reeds, Oh My!

by WCS Blogmeister

This little bit of silliness was the result of a conversation with a  co-worker around flying (a passion of mine) where he tossed out this little nugget from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the […]
