While driving today a song by CItizen Fish came up on random called ‘Feeding’. It got me thinking how the way of thinking of thoughtful consumption can apply in many different ways. Channels, topics, feeds, friends, foods, etc all should be dealt with thoughtfully. A series of posts has come [...]
New Torey Pudwill part actually filmed in the streets.
Its good to see Torey film a part outside of The Berrics. Seems these days so many kids make their marks in parks and in private. Torey has the skills and its nice to see him skate where he belongs, in the streets.
Cultural Institutions as Social Beings.
Taking on the online social persona of a cultural organization is a huge undertaking that can not be understated. While working at The Franklin Institute I played the role of @thefranklin and experimented with different voices. At the time not many museums were on Twitter and the ones that were used the [...]
Being Scared

Introspective.
Re-birth? Re-awakening? I don’t know. I turned 30 recently and have been introspective and will be using this space as a sandbox for thoughts, ideas, plans, schemes, and possibly shenanigans.
