What makes your older brother proud?

Being a bigger dork than he is:

mocoNews sees the future

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

It’s little surprise to us that we’re not alone in being unabashed supporters of NPR’s digital stragety – and their startling aptitude with the internet. It’s also no secret that I’m a fan of their mobile strategy. I’ve written about both the Public Radio Player and NPR iPhone apps (both excellent, btw). So what surprises [...]

You look… ridiculous.

Thursday, October 1, 2009

So I’ve only seen a few seasons of Project Runway, and I truly enjoyed it. It’s an actually interesting reality show – I like watching people be creative on deadline, with strict constraints. It’s sort of like the end of my college career, except that I didn’t get to dress hot girls in poetry. Come [...]

Sonic Youth may as well be ‘The Eternal’

Thursday, September 17, 2009

My birthday was Wednesday, but on Thursday, Kerry gave me an addendum to my birthday presents: She found a used vinyl copy of the new Sonic Youth record. I already had a downloaded version, but was aching for the vinyl – it’s a great record, but Sonic Youth has such a distinct sound that all [...]

Give in to the Meme

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

There’s been a facebook meme where people list 50 bands they’ve seen live from memory. I haven’t tried to do it yet, but now that Bob Boilen has made his list, I’m feeling inspired. Granted, Bob didn’t quite follow the rules – he stopped when he got to 101 bands. I suppose he could have [...]

Cap’n Obvious says

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

…obviously it is. At least that’s all I can think now, based on this headline from “Planet Money,” found on the NPR.org homepage. The awesome Laura Conaway notes, in this “Planet Money” blog post, that “In its letter, Goldman acknowledges using high-frequency trading but writes that its systems don’t see ‘client order flow.’” I’m not [...]

36-point Georgia on my mind

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

EDIT: NPR’s Andy Carvin commented to gently remind me that most of their videos are also posted on their YouTube channel. So I will be embedding after all. Starting next Monday, July 27, NPR.org will have a brand new look – a very familiar, blog-like look with some classy, but Web-friendly typography (as referenced in [...]

Dirty Money, as in “ew, ick.”

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Giant banks/lenders can choose their own regulators all they want; Adam Davidson just doesn’t hear ‘sexy bow wow wow’ music when he thinks about it.

(Concerning the next several days)

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

It’s – finally – time for our honeymoon, though we’ve been married a month, as of today. We’re off to New York and Boston for a couple days each. Our main NYC plans are up in the air – sort of. There’s a nice surprise in there somewhere. Though we’d love to, we don’t have [...]

Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss?

Thursday, April 9, 2009

Bonnie “Prince” Billy did a guest DJ spot on NPR’s “All Songs Considered” – and yes, I know that’s old news, but I’m still catching up after a busy week. What makes it relevant has nothing to do with timing. This is our blog. What’s relevant to this blog is what Kerry and I want [...]
