I’m not like most people where the new year brings on some revelation on how I’m going to alter my life in the next twelve months. Each new quarter brings on a whole new existential crisis, however. It is cyclical but St. Sylvestre has nothing to do with it. Coincidentally, I did have an existential [...]
This bike could either kill or maim you
Listen, I get why biking is an attractive and sexy alternative to driving. You look cool, you can swerve in and out of traffic, and you can literally park anywhere. Except when you’re sweating bullets from your 45 minute commute and your calf muscles are burning through your epidermis from all those goddamned hills. It’s [...]
How Good TV Shows Get Ruined by Hot Blondes
I’m currently reading Mindy Kaling’s “Is everyone hanging out without me?” – I’m halfway through so I’m reserving judgement. I have laughed a couple of times and inspired multiple times.

I set weekly goals for myself but more often than not, those goals fall by the way side. Working full-time is a serious drain on [...]
A creative process in the making…
For the last, I don’t know, 10 years my creativity has come in spurts and wells, ebbs and eddies. It’s never been so consistent. And really the only thing that I pursued doggedly was singing – which varied week by week, month by month. It’s always been difficult for me to think up great ideas [...]
How to manage a multimedia project
I’m a nut for organizing and efficiency. That’s why when I started doing online campaigns and multimedia projects, I consulted the oracle, Google, frequently to figure out ways to organize my brain around these big and small projects. Although these resources are typically used for web content development, they are easily adapted for your multimedia [...]
