Tupac enters academia after death.
Some lady is teaching a class at my old school using Tupac as a main reference. It’s a CHID class, which has always offered cool courses.
I think that if a rapper is going to be studied in universities, Tupac is only a good example because he’s accessible and hugely popular, even [...]

somebody stop me

Who made it into Rolling Stone? That’s right, my almost famous crush, on the way to being more famous.

neato art and my obsession

A friend (hi Owen!) just sent me a link to Maya Hayuk’s page. Wow. I like her paintings, but I really like her photos. Lots of focus contrast and accessible images.
And I just found this interview with Slug. Personal hi-lites: he gives props to Oddjobs, he breaks down his influence and what he hopes [...]

different grays

Smoking, writing, watching old people slowly inch towards the building. Staring at me, wondering why this girl is sitting in her car alone. I’m waiting for Toby. He’s in another check-up. I guess I can expect to be doing this for years. I’m going to watch him age and die, and every time he feels [...]

i wanna switch it up

We’re reworking the site for 7hill right now. My old roommate (who is also one of my business partner’s girlfriends. this is family, after all.) is now working on it, so I heard. I’m going to ask her to put up MT or some equally easy-to-use publishing tool, so I can do a news section [...]

this new thing

This week kicked off the first of our 7hill Sessions. I describe them as live recording parties. Band(s) play, we record, people pay at the door, the band gets a live recording instead of payment. We did 2 this week, as a part of a 3 day benefit for a new local non-profit that’s donating [...]

an unfinished train of mine

I was reading a couple articles here and here (Wired). They aren’t really related, but I came to the same question with each of them:

We persue and seek knowledge, but at what cost?

I’m all for the expansion, building, gathering and growth of knowledge. I know, ignorance and bliss and all that, but maybe we should [...]
