Generation X Doesn't Want to Hear It
emptyage: Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something nastier. Social Security and Medicare are going to be diminished, at best. Hours worked are up even as hiring staggers along: Blood from a stone looks to be the normal order of things “going forward,” to borrow the business-speak. Economists are warning that even when the economy...

Short logic: Groupon IPO: Pass on this deal →
shortlogic: Groupon has filed its S-1 and hopes to raise $750M in its initial public offering. Given they’re currently losing a staggering $117M per quarter, despite revenues of $644M, they’ll be burning through that cash almost as soon as it hits their account. At the moment, it’s costing them $1.43 to…

“You Must Build a Fire” live from Crooked Fingers’ recent performance at The Bell House this past Saturday. This show was so f&*king amazing, I don’t even have words to describe it. Eric Bachmann is truly one of the most talented singer/songwriters I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live. Craig and I talked to him after the show - relived our version of the infamous...

ITP Winter Show 2010
This semester, as I meandered through the sensory stimulating insanity of the ITP Winter Show, I found myself really enjoying simplicity - which was, strangely enough, often produced by students in the Intro classes (possibly an indication of amazing talent in the class of 2012??).  I thought ByteLight by Jack Kalish and Gabriella Levine, an installation of switches and lights representing an...

What is a Dictionary?
Interesting thing happened today: my daughter Mya’s teacher is apparently not pleased with me because she asked all parents to purchase a “physical” dictionary for students to use at home to look up words they don’t know and instead I have opted to have her search for the meanings to words on one of several online dictionarys.  Putting the argument often associated with...
