In the actual wake of Harvey’s devastation and Irma’s forthcoming, it’s simple and hard to help all at the same time. Never in human history has it been easier to give financially in support. You can literally text it. Houston Texans’ J.J. Watt has raised over $28 Million. Which also happens to be his PR […]
Two Minutes of Fame
I live directly in the Path of Totality (Greenville, SC), which I’m pretty sure is an Alice in Chains album. We’ve been a recently growing and popular destination for industry and the arts and cyclists and beards. Now even major galactic bodies are coming to see what all the buzz is about. So, I’d like […]
Matthew and Me
I’ve needed some encouragement lately and it’s come in the unlikely form of certain Twitter interaction, namely with @walterthsalter. I landed in Boston two Sundays ago feeling pretty low and found this mashup in my Dropbox. Me x Matisyahu. I had literally just revisited Spark Seeker with my kids the week before, after a couple […]

And it’s not just because, in talent, as has been observed, they can line it up with the “big boys.” They are the […]
Street Legal

Win the crowd. As a practitioner of both, I probably haven’t done my job to make you hip to the vocabulary and […]
Deep Impact
So the government has announced a special operations exercise called Jade Helm 15. It will run from July 15 through September 15 of this year in various southwestern states, including Texas, New Mexico, and California. It will ostensibly involve tactical maneuvering of military personnel in civilian settings, like neighborhoods and homes. In this same basic […]
City Lights
I grew up 20 minutes south of Baltimore. We used to chill at its Inner Harbor. The Constellation is docked there. I took some lady friends to a place called City Lights. Paddle boats. And the Aquarium. I haven’t been there in 17 years, immediately after our wedding and honeymoon. We had a Ford Explorer […]
Baltimore
There’s nothing seemingly more human than the capacity to forget the humanity on other side of the riot line. More to follow. My hometown. Written and performed by sintax.the.terrific. Produced by DJ Kurfu Today’s blong here:
