8-Minute Abs

One of the few things I have been unable to share on my blog is my daily work-out regiment. Not so much because I am shy or embarrassed about it, rather until now I haven’t had an effective way to explain its cinematic complexities and nuances -and some may even argue its transnational poetry. [...]

Just in case you were wondering…

WP-o-Matic

WP-O-Matic is a nice little third-party plugin for WordPress that uses the SimplePie php class (thanks to Patrick and Andy for the link to this amazing set of aggregation resources for both WP and MediaWiki) to grab an RSS feed and automatically use it to create posts in your blog. The interface is “dead simple” [...]

Citizentube

YouTube has recently introduced citizentube.

Newt-jiti!

So, why not take this opportunity to annotate this video with what we all, “the people,” really you think [...]

I dwell in possibility

I dwell in Possibility–
A fairer House than Prose–
More numerous of Windows–
Superior–for Doors–
Of Chambers as the Cedars–
Impregnable of Eye–
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky–
Of Visitors–the fairest–
For Occupation–This–
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise–
Last night I had the good fortune to sit in on a lecture about Emily Dickinson at UMW delivered by [...]

Unpublished Sylvia Plath poem brought to you by an undergraduate blog at UMW?!

Ok, I’m gonna take a different tact from the RIAA’s methods of dealing with college students, rather then threatening suit and certain incrimination -I will celebrate the unbelievably cool work that has been going on here at UMW. Amanda Rutstein has been blogging an independent study on Sylvia Plath that she is doing with [...]

More on Mojiti

I really like Mojiti! Did I already say this?
I just realized -it was rather self-evident- that you can add spots to a ‘Mojitied’ video right within a blog post. And while you have to be logged on to Mojiti’s service to do this, they are so smart that they allow you to login [...]
