Everything is Everything

Entry written yesterday morning, October 28. We had no internet all day so I am only just posting it now. Choked highways with impoverished people, being the only white man I can see, and a standard of living much different than the one I am used to, have not hit me with surprise yet. I’ve…

Hello from Africa! I have just arrived a few days ago in Nairobi, Kenya, for 2-3 months’ work with FilmAid International (blog). I have been working Caroline Baron, the organization’s CEO, for three months now, and will continue to do so on my return. We are a nonprofit that works worldwide in refugee camps and…

Wow, awesome! @burningman tweeted this post and now burners are coming online. And what’s the first thing they do? Say hi using the chat box that none of my regular visitors have ever used. Keeping the burn alive.. I didn’t write this, it was sent out to the Burning Man NYC listserv. This is my…
