“If you blog it, it is no dream.”
Last year at this time, while I was embedded deep in yet another bout of nostalgia, I posted about an old school video game called Killer Shark (1972). I had been lamenting the fact that this game was inaccessible to me now, and how much I loved [...]
While working my way through [[The Wire]], I found myself thinking about the iconic rap song “The Message” by [[Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five]]. A song which traces much of the same social themes of urban decay as this kick ass TV series. A point of interest, at least for me, is that this [...]
Well, I feel another bout of nostalgia coming on thanks to Brad’s comments here, and after doing some research on my past, I found this gem by [[Newcleus]] from deep in the depths of the early 80s. A band known for the first “wikki-wikki song” well before Wikipedia. I freely admit this song remains one [...]
Serena Epstein, DTLT’s newest student aide, has obviously got too much free time on her hands! PorcuJim was created in honor of my new haircut, band-aided glasses, and general love of all things WordPress.
From what I understand Serena will be creating an animal effigy of everyone that we work with. Also, just so you know, [...]
Given that Mike Caulfield has already provided an awesome way to start thinking about the DIY spirit of EDUPUNK, I’ll figured I’d do my part by shaving my head, busting out the sharpee, and sporting my WordPress hoodie (thank you, thank you Lloyd).
Here is a great scene featuring a preaching teetotaler (Reverend Wainscott) from [[Sam Peckinpah]]’s brilliant [[The Wild Bunch]] —definitely in my top five, maybe top three films of all time.
This is awesome, found it via Dan Coleman’s Open Culture blog, and it is just amazing how insane people can be (if it isn’t a fake, but I tend to agree with Dan that this is the real deal). Sometimes I love humanity, and the minute and half video below is why. Despite the [...]
“…At her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.”
I’ve spent much of the early morning hours reading through Brad Efford’s awesome Judges 5:27 blog—the Reverend’s last man on ELS Blogs! It is, without question, worth putting on your blogrollif you are into discovering an amazing range of thoughtful reflection [...]
Well, Antonella Dalla Torre’s Italian 202 class had its first annual La Mattina degli Oscar (The Morning of the Oscars), and it was quite a special event. Good food, everyone well-dressed, and the culture was first rate, now that’s Italian! The occasion was a celebration of the recent work this class put into creating [...]
As sometimes will happen, I started thinking about the [[Tobe Hooper|Tobe Hooper's]] Lifeforce (1985) this afternoon. Some of you may recall this as the movie wherein beautiful vampires from space walk buck naked around London sucking the life out of everyone in their way. I do so enjoy the tragically under utilized theme of space [...]
