Oh Black Friday of Death

separator

Maybe you didn’t catch it. Who am I fooling — how could you have missed it? Talking down Black Friday is all the rage this year! At least it is amongst those who’ve finally woken up from their slumber to realize what a game and general waste of collective time it is. Unfortunately these folks are a […]

separator

I’ve been talking about this for too long… Here’s a still from the Micro$oft shoot from the beginning of the year. I look tired (I was exhausted). I’m still yawning right now. We’ll post some outtakes shortly. Full video to come soon (I promise!).

Updates from the Field

separator

Hello dear friends, internet free-rangers, and changemakers. I’ve returned from a long internet sabbatical (it was awesome) and I’m back now. I was writing about our next (upcoming) project in the Manifesto! Project newsletter today.

On the day after Thanksgiving, I’m pausing to celebrate an annual holiday I’d like more people to get involved with. Buy Nothing Day. This year they’ve badged it the “Wildcat General Strike” and while I like the badge, the original name says it all. Buy. Nothing. Today, skip the BS, skip the gas stations, skip […]

RIP Brendan Mullen

separator

I didn’t even know he passed until a couple of weeks ago. Brendan was next door at my friend’s place only a week and a half before he passed. She had no idea what was about to happen to him. Brendan was a force in punk music, who made a home for punk (and was […]

Blog?

separator

Yes. The rumor is true. There’s a blog. But don’t think I’ll be discussing international politics (well, maybe). Nor will I discuss my views on our disaster of an economic systems (possibly; occasionally). No, I will generally be hurling a variety of thoughts, observations, and calls-to-action. (generally, what I do best). I have a lot […]
