140 Conference, or #140Conf if You’re Twittery
I attended the 140 Conference, an event to teach companies, brands, and Internet celebrity wannabes how to use Twitter to pimp themselves. Founder Jeff Pulver positions Twitter as a reflection of how the Internet is becoming a medium of “the now”, meaning it’s coming to life in real-time. The conference took place in a theater, [...]
How Does the Media Choose What to Cover?
A piece of mine for RT: How does the media choose what they are going to cover, and who chooses it, and doesn’t it seem like they all collectively decide to cover the SAME thing at once, no matter how much is going on in the world?
2012 Explained by Daniel Pinchbeck
I had the privilege of sitting down recently with Daniel Pinchbeck, author and all around genius who’s an expert on the the apocalyptic theories surrounding the year 2012. For quite a while now, people have been writing in and asking me to cover 2012, and I never knew what it was about other than something [...]

But, I can’t help but wonder: is there a glaring positive side to this social issue for our culture and society, [...]
Feminism, Schmeminism
One of the names people like to call me on social networking sites, which I find extremely irritating, is a feminist. Why does this bother me? Isn’t feminism a good thing? I mean, it’s basically a social responsibility movement bent on giving men and women should have equal social, political, and economic rights (Texas accent [...]
What Are YOUR Prejudices?
See “Prejudice” for the inspiration for this li’l social responsibility video. But this little social humor video is basically me asking people what they are prejudice about, and them actually responding and quite easily ‘fessing up to their cultural –ism of choice. That to me broke one of my preconceived notions. I thought for sure [...]
