South Park's Best Political Moments
From my friend Max: South Park’s greatest asset has always been its sharp commentary on relevant issues. Comedy Central put together a greatest hits recap about a month ago, which I think is just hilarious. Check it out!

Time
keeps on slipping into the future… I apologize for the dearth of blog posts recently; it’s for good reason. My friend Tucker always liked to say to me that busy people discover they have more time in the day than they’d though, and that’s been very true. Between working two internships for a total of…

A tab system on Google Docs
UPDATE 2: Thanks to some requests, I’ve made a three-person and two-person version of the tab (the two-person is really easy to make.) For bonus points, does anyone want to make a five-person version? Also, I’ve gotten some questions on the sharing numbers. They are robust and you can use them for proportions, so putting…

Wikipedia Tuesdays: XOR and RAID 5!
Perhaps I will send interesting Wikipedia links every Tuesday. Perhaps not. Explore and dig in, and find information you did not know before. Read on – it looks technical but it’s actually quite simple and intuitive, and these things are a part of your everyday life, so could be very useful to know down the…

Flying over Highway 1
Oh boy do I love stop motion plane videos. This one was taken as I flew from Los Angeles to San Francisco, but with my iPhone still camera. The guy next to me thought it was pretty funny as I kept repeatedly hitting the “picture” button for about ten minutes – the upside of this…

I try to keep shooting and editing video, even if it’s just something fun. For now, here’s the first video. I’ve got some beautiful panoramas made from up to ten images, which I…

American Student Government Association Intro video
Freelance work leads me to the most interesting places. I got a call recently from Butch Oxendine of the ASGA, which just a few years ago gave my student government documentary a favorable review in their monthly publication. I created the five-minute introduction to their annual convention in Washington, DC. Not only does it pay…

DdTv: Pushing boundaries, part one
Episode six of Digital Democracy Television, a show I helped to create and have edited four episodes of, has just been broadcast over the cyberwaves. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really ought to take a look at the first few episodes and see what we have created. We really know of no other…

All in a picture: In memory of a puppy
I work on 19th Street and 9th Avenue in Chelsea. At about noon today, one of us looked out the window and noticed that a small white puppy was stuck on a seventh-story ledge outside of the window. The window was open a crack and the puppy had apparently crawled out of it (though how…
