EPA – Environmental Performance Actions
Golden Age Work Group
One place we visited in New York was Exit Art. I wasn’t as interested in the exhibition on the first level of the venue having to do with the brain and art, as the small (in area yet broad in scope) exhibit in the basement regarding artists addressing issues of the environment called Environmental Performance […]
Data Processing
Golden Age Work Group
I’ve been postponing reflection on our trip to NYC for about a month and a half. I had some pretty negative reactions to being in Manhattan, and feeling like I was going around consuming art in the same way that I consume imagery on the television or internet. I’m still working out my thoughts surrounding […]
WYO SHIFT
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
Alexandra Fuller, the woman who wrote the wonderfully accurate portrayal of Wyoming’s landscape and its energy industry and its meth problems in the New Yorker a year ago, has now written a book based on the essay, and she is profiled in the Times today. Wyoming, my home state in case you didn’t know, where […]
SEAN BELL
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
Quickly, because I have no time, but must comment: the acquittal of three NYPD who emptied 50 bullets into Sean Bell, an unarmed black man, on the eve of his wedding, is a national tragedy. A travesty, too. I was in Europe when the verdict came back — it was on the front page of […]

DEAR AMERICAN MONEY,
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
Thank you for coming back to me. I know you… I know where you stand… I know what you represent and what you are worth. I stick my card into the machine, and you come back with the actual numbers, not a double speak that actually translates to “you are poor [especially in this country].” […]
On Politics: How Proprietary vs. Open Source is like Obama vs. Clinton and why we need to get over it and get on with the work
The old broken Ideas For Dozens
“The enemy isn’t Microsoft. The enemy is non-use” — Matt Asay, The Ten Commandments of Open Source For the past month, watching Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — two relatively noble politicians who largely want the same good things for this country — say and do silly things to each other over the most superficial […]
Under the Volcano
The Guns In My Life
The boys were given projects, a “Special Interest Report”–optional, mind you–to do outside of class. They had a list of suggested topics of study such as: a type of dinosaur; building a fort; a special place; a special person; a volcano. Madee settled right in on that last one and decided he would very much […]
