I have not written an Artists I Like post in quite a while so I decided the time was right to pen one on someone who exhibits great technical skill with the eye of an artist. Mark Levin has a pretty wide range in his portfolio but the pieces that I gravitate to are in [...]

Just this weekend I was pondering this while driving on a road that I frequently transit. [...]
I awoke this morning to an email from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings saying he was sorry… although it wasn’t entirely clear if he was sorry for losing half of his market cap in the last year (shareholder) or sorry for the crappy streaming catalog and losing Starz while implementing a price increase (customer).
