Fastest Jack-o-lantern Ever

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Work has kept me pretty tied up for the last week. Whatever “downtime” I’ve had at home has mostly been taken up with trying to complete a project by Today, coincidentally Halloween. It’s mostly finished, so what other to do than celebrate by carving a pumpkin. Celebrate! No dressing up this year, but I could easily turn into a drunk at the stroke of midnight.

No time to lose, I carved this baby in under 20 minutes! Live in fear of my deft knife skillz. boo!

The Lighthouse And The Sun

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I finally bought a sofa this weekend, but it’s going to take 10 weeks to arrive. I’m trying to get something up on my walls and I’m considering fabric prints as a theme. My first try will be the Marushka print I just won off Ebay. A little piece of home? No, an 18″ x 24″ piece of home. What a gem.

GO TIGERS!!!

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

It’s been 19 years since I’ve gotten to see the Tigers win an AL Division series on television. That is, up until a few minutes ago. There’s no stopping a train that’s been waiting this long to leave the station. We’re just getting started! Go Tigers!!!

Ed. note: In ‘87 there were only two divisions and Detroit didn’t win any series just the regular season Division title. Details, details…

The Future of Progressive Journalism

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Clamor magazine has been around for seven years. Covering various social and political topics from a wide range of writers, the mag has been at the forefront of independent journalism for a surprisingly long run. Their fall issue features a series of incisive articles on the contradictions behind the vertically-integrated and “progressive” clothing company American Apparel. It’s worth checking out online.

As of late, Clamor has had financial pains with operational costs. Take a look around their site, read some stuff, and think about making a donation or starting a subcription.

No, this was not a paid advertisement.
