"Choosing the Morning" in San Francisco
While in India during the month of January, I reflected on the last few phases of my adult life since college, and saw that while I have been someone with strong vision and ideas for the future, my 7 years in Brooklyn and 3 years in London haven't seen much actual progress on putting finishing polish on any of ideas or creative work. Now, as I begin my new life in the Bay Area, it's time to start "choosing the morning."August 3, 2009
My CC Songs replace Madonna on Youtube
My song Destination Non-Specific has spread on Youtube mostly because users are forced to strip the copyrighted music from their videos (using YouTube's audioswap function), and are offered Creative Commons music like mine to replace it. Overall, examples like this continue to validate my belief that many of us are living in the emerging gift economy. While I still have not leveraged any my life long social capital for actual tangible cash capital, I think that day might be coming soon.January 19, 2009

Where does our garbage go? - Letter to London City Council
For a potential project I am exploring, I searched online to try to find out where the garbage that I throw out in city garbage/rubbish bins goes. The best information I could find was article in the Guardian called "Following the rubbish trail," but it was from 2004. I wrote an email to the author Leo Hickman, but so far, no response (I'm sure he busy on new articles).January 11, 2009
