The ideavirus that is Anonymous
I am fascinated with Anonymous. They are the perfect antagonist to Wall Street, and the fitting figurehead of #occupywallstreet. (If you don’t know what Occupy Wall Street is, turn off your TV and get on Twitter.) Anonymous is the only entity that is fluid enough to disrupt the idea of ‘corporations,’ because they exist, literally, in the same realms as corporation. A corporation is: Immortal, and can continue living for as long as its hosts will keep it alive. (The [...]
A Moment to Mourn for a Stranger
I never knew Steve Jobs. But my life has been forever changed by his works. After unsuccessful career moves and a frustrating decade of PC proficiency, I bought my first Macbook Pro.

These will replace the plane tickets that we will not use in two weeks, and allow us to stay in the country for another 90 days. Sounds confusing? [...]
I’m a lucky bastard.
Any list of personal gratitudes could potentially be very long, for any living person: having eyes, having a mind that allows you to think, a heart that gives you desires, and the fulfillment of even tiny desires - these are all gratitudes that are available to any of us. Sometimes, life puts us in the blessed position of having great big obvious gratitudes, making it exceptionally easy to feel thankful. I am now in one of those positions. I live [...]
