Over the weekend, I volunteered at the Art Hack SF Weekend held at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. There were artists, programmers, art directors, designers, musicians, and other creative types. How àpropos that Soundquake was one of the winners for the weekend (with the 5:33 am 4.0 magnitude morning shaker)! Below, are short impressions while […]

As a young professional, I loathed corporate team building as a mandatory activity. Managers required us to participate on scavenger hunts in the hopes of learning about one another and facts about the company. Over the years, I’ve grown out of the surly, young, and overly ambitious individual. In recent years, I’ve grown fond of […]

I don’t like being morbid but I find the topic of a digital afterlife extremely fascinating. Being present and engaged in life is a great way to live; however, it’s difficult to not think about the things which seem beyond our control. It’s already difficult to keep my life in order and I see myself as a pretty organized person. Why do […]

I’ve been playing around with different ways to blog and coming up with ways to stay connected to friends and family that have expressed a profound interest to know more about art (of any kind). Well, I’m hoping some of you latch on to this idea of Breaktime posts. Think about it, how long is your […]

An incredible digital archive of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life, essays, sermons, and notes on non-violence and education. It’s a fantastic resource and I highly suggest exploring the archive and learning something new about Dr. King’s legacy. Please (please) click on the image above and share this valuable resource!

If you can ‘Like’, re-tweet, and/or respond to this, YOU are lucky. Are you able to imagine not being digitally connected to the world, to your friends, your family, and business partners and colleagues? What about your government disabling and/or prohibiting an internet connection? My mother has a Facebook account for goodness sake, which is great. Yet, there […]

In certain types of engineering practices, there’s this idea that the computer and mathematics itself are sort of a-cultural. That they only exist in their own technical and formal world. Every computer system is built within a social and historical context of its time. ~Professor Fox Harrell Last year, I delved into work and research […]

It has been an amazing year filled with productivity, energy, and promise. This time last year, I was hoping and wishing for my writing to take me a few places. I had no idea I would be a contributing writer to some really wonderful organizations (i.e., ZERO1, Asterisk, and Hyphen – to name a few). […]

Besides Jens Lekman (LOVE his music!!), admittedly, I don’t know very much about Sweden. Per the recommendation of a dear friend and talented poet, Liz Mariani, Curators of Sweden may just give me a bit more insight on Swedes. Now, I’m not too sure the US could ever pull off something like this. Then again, […]
