lol, i totally agree
caragh:
If our AIM conversation involves you sending me more than 3 youtube links per session, I’m going to block you. Stop making me click and watch shit.
I so very rarely watch internet video. The reason being is that I must stop everything and watch/listen. It’s so passive, it doesn’t engage me. Send me music that I can listen to while I do things. Send me a link that I can read...

Introduction to Poetry
by Billy Collins
I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive.

I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author’s name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the...

Smoker's Point of View
This isn’t in response to, but was influenced by seeing the currently circulating smoking lounge ceiling mural. Okay, it’s clever. Lots of these new anti smoking campaigns are, but I think this is actually borderline offensive. You wouldn’t see any such thing in a bar, would you?
As a smoker, I am constantly accosted by peers, professors and colleagues about my habit. I take it...

Marco Arment on unpaid internships →
I am in complete agreeance, unpaid internships are pretty insulting. To me, offering an unpaid internship is saying ‘We are so awesome we just might consider letting you do work for us for free.” If you are considering doing an unpaid internship, stop right now. Take that time you were going to freely give to someone else, and use it to challenge yourself. Thanks Marco.

a little too angsty, but what do you expect from ‘the indie scene’? there are some very striking moments though, enough to make it worth the read.

Design on Your Own Time
When I started college, I had faith that I would be in classes filled with enthusiastic people who were ready and willing to grow. This faith has been long shattered, but it’s grown from indifference to frustration.
I strongly believe that any person who wants to make a living out of fine arts and design better be ready to put forth the dedication and effort required to innovate. If you...
