DEAD WEBSITES
12/31/2006
There’s something sort of spooky about a site that’s been left to float around in cyberspace. You can very easily find a parallel between finding a dead website and walking through ancient ruins. It no longer has a purpose, you wonder who made it and why. It can tell you a bit of history, while still leaving you with a mystery. But unlike ruins, there’s a monetary e ... Read More

ACTUAL VS. VIRTUAL
12/21/2006
What does double-click do? Or, wait? Am I on the internet?Sorry if you wanted the internet to be a passing fad. We're hooked up now, and it looks like we're going to stay that way. It's scary and exciting; who knows what's going to happen? We will loose contact with reality all together? Will we no longer be able to tell when we are on or off-line? Will life just get ...

BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF REALITY (TV)
12/04/2006
I've been called a hipster many times before. I'm not ashamed. I dress like one, I guess--maybe I am one. I also have the unpopular opinion that Williamsburg, Brooklyn really isn't all that hip. They have good bagels and falafel there and people are always selling shit on the side of the street. The bars are fun. If you don't think about money it seems like a good pla ... Read More

Perez Hilton
10/23/2006
Doing some research on the flip-side (otherwise known as the bar), I have recently been asking my friends which blogs, if any, they read. I was kind of wondering if anyone had time to read all or any of the things people write. You can't read every blog, you can't listen to every mp3, you can't watch every youtube and you can't look at everyone's art work or you'll ju ... Read More

Log Blog, Abraham Lincoln:
10/05/2006
For all of you who don't know: blog is synonymous with the term web log. This means that a blog is actually a log, like a captain's log, only it's not on a ship or a plane it's on the web. One blog has dared to ask the question: What would have happened if some smart guy hadn't decided to add the b to log? The answer is we'd all be talking about logs. The Blog of Lo ... Read More
