I’ve played around with computer programming since I was a kid, and 15 years later it finally hits me: Armed with the right knowledge, nerds can make you do whatever they want.
Excellent.

Continuing on the theme of disgusting women and their fat and fetishized babies, today I came across the work of photographer Gail Albert Halaban. Her stylish photos reminded me of Gregory Crewdson or something else in that sad, post-modern American vein, and they definitely captured a thought that I’ve had before, although I’m not exactly [...]

WHEN WE CAME ACROSS Cathy’s application, we saw that she was by far the most coherent and intelligent of the group. She wrote that she was happily married with three children. Her answers were not handwritten in the tiny allotted spaces; she had downloaded the original questionnaire and typed her responses at thoughtful length. Her [...]

I’m a huge fan of the 33 1/3 book series. Right now I’m reading Hayden Childs’ take on the Richard and Linda Thompson classic Shoot Out the Lights.
This is an important album for me. First of all, Z introduced me to it. I spent a lot of time in 4D singing “Walking on a Wire” [...]

I’ll admit it, I heard all the hype and I fell victim — after all, I’d been to all the other ‘fukus and had no complaints. I savored every course at Ko [...]

Over the weekend I finally checked out “Live Forever,” Elizabeth Peyton’s solo show at the New Museum.
The exhibition is a lot like the documentary with which it shares its name — a yearbook of Cool Britannia culture.
(Random: The movie is my all-time favorite … at one point I could recite the whole thing.)
Walking through the [...]

The web is a seriously strange place. Today’s example: The Story of Siegfried, Roy, Steph and me.
McParty and I were talking about Siegfried & Roy. Specifically, we realized that considering the fact that they’re such major celebs, we knew surprisingly little about the dainty duo. Like the fact that they were German. Then I [...]
