- Things I Like: #12 [clap] 3 [vimeo 4472980] One, I like simple songs with delicate hand-clapping. Two, I like it when two people say “we’re in it for the long haul” and mean it. Three, I like the new trend of stop motion genius that digital photographers and cinematographers are high-fiving to accomplish. Particularly because it is so almost minimalist. These […]
- A Non-o-Biography [vimeo 1737891] I think our generation enjoys the word “spork.” It’s been said I’m destined to marry a good-looking dork. I do sometimes listen to Björk. I was also born in New York. I don’t understand the winds of Santa Ana. If we’re in the OT, I want to hope like Hannah. Short haircuts enjoy […]

In my high school days, I think I shamelessly knew the Sir-Mix-a-Lot original word for word. I am happy to report that:1. I have a cast-iron stomach and can handle […]

Here are two exceedingly cute and quick videos to help you pray for Elijah and maybe dump a few bucks into his transplant fund. Elijah is only in […]
- Net Neutrality Nuked by The Man? It seems inevitable. The Man’s gonna nuke the neutrality of the net! (Clearly, The Man reads Time magazine and wants to make a buck.) Consider this: the internet could be one of the only “spaces” in the global economy that is an equal-playing-ground for every Voice. (And when I was a skeptical little high schooler, […]
