YouTube Community? Wish I Felt It.
YouTube. I want to like you. I think I like you. I do like YouTube. But I have reoccurring pangs of disappointment about it. I’ve always had this vision, of a YouTube community that I could be part of. I’d watch your videos, you’d watch mine, we’d comment, we’d make video replies. We’d talk about…

Video Game Visibility Project – Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster on PS Vita – Purchasing Gamer Girl Power
This year on my (30th) birthday, I promised myself that I would post a picture of myself with every gaming related purchase I make this year, along with a few details. The point is to be a visible customer to anyone who cares to see the varied face of game consumers, and also to satisfy…
Video Game Visibility Project: Pixel Creature Hats
I’m in Louisville for Forecastle Festival right now, but before I make myself a liar, I need to make a post on these video game related hats I got at Screwattack Gaming Convention. To be clear, this is something I tried to buy, but Alec of Freaks and Geeks wouldn’t take the money. So here’s…
Purchasing Gamer Girl Power – or – Video Game Visibility Project
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30. And here is a picture of me buying a Playstation Plus card. (Or rather, bringing it home.) I’m not much for New Years resolutions. And also I failed out of the 365 Project a month in. But yesterday I made a birthday resolution. For the next…

Suburbia Music Festival 2014 Photo Blog/Experience Post
These are the pictures that someday kids look at, and conclude that they were born too late, and missed the days when everything was wild and free. Just like those photos of my uncle Dean in cowboy boots and underwear, canoeing the Current River… Hailed by the aging Rolling Stone magazine as a festival…
Good Design, Even When It’s Not For Me
Getting my degree did about two important things for me. The second of these is that school instilled in me a respect for design that transcends my own taste. Sometimes I have to ask myself- do I like this because it’s good design, or because I like it personally, and want to own it…
The Anti-Anti List for February 19, 2014
The other day I listened to Beck’s new album. I was obsessed with Beck circa age 15. I lost touch a little in the Midnight Vultures era, but later realized that I get a little happier than usual every time a Beck song comes on, whether its Hell Yes or Devil’s Haircut or even Lost…
