First off, I attended the kick-off party for Philip Baruth’s State Senate campaign last night at Nectar’s. Learn more about Philip here and get involved! Also, this happened yesterday. Mazel tov, NTodd! Now here’s an assortment of stuff to keep you amused, mid-week… Why you smart, energetic twenty-somethings should think twice before starting a non-profit. [...]

Hey bloggyland… I know it’s been a week since the last Candleblog post. Insert my usual complaints about my busy life, etc. here. I’ll have a big juicy likdump for you tomorrow to make up for it, I promise. Emily and I just got home from Selene Colburn’s History of the Future Collection dance performance. [...]

Tonight I’ll be Art Hopping. If you want to say hi, I’ll mostly be at 208 Flynn Avenue (where VCAM is) but I’m also going to try and head over to New World Tortilla and visit Scott and Undead Molly a bit, who will have some art going on over there. Tomorrow night you can [...]

O’ the things I’ve seen. We did our annual pilgrimage to the Junction last night for the Champlain Valley deep-fried food festival Fair. Emily posted a few pics to her Flickr stream. I think I have a short editorial-type thing going in the Freeps in the next few days. I’ll post here when it’s up. [...]

I have submitted a panel proposal to SXSW for the 2010 Film & Interactive conferences.

Back in the early 90s I used to sing funny songs with my friends Spine and Mazur. We called ourselves “Spamnation” and would entertain our friends at parties with a couple of original songs we’d arranged, with me playing the guitar and the three of us singing in three-part harmony. We toyed around with several [...]

For the first time in my life, I am canceling something nerdy in favor of a sporting event. There will be no Poli-Sci-Fi Radio this Sunday because Emily and I will be watching the US national soccer team take on Brazil in the Confederations Cup Tournament final that afternoon. The game actually ends before PSFR [...]
