Every Friday at 4pm is tea at the MIT Media Lab. Hosting rotates around different research groups. This week Necsys, the network admin folks, hosted, and apparently they have a reputation to hold up. Their entire space was decorated with lights and centerpieces. One guy made homemade chocolate milk, which he was hand [...]
I am going to say something unpopular (apologies up front to Claire). I believe that the primary purpose of music is to connect human hearts with the Divine (whatever you think or feel that is). Of course, I realize that this is akin, in this day and age, to saying the purpose of art [...]
In this day and age of granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, the guy who built out this Somerville loft I’m in thumbed his nose at the trendy and went with an all white kitchen. I like it. The island has the fake granite, though; I wonder why he didn’t choose the same [...]
This weekend was Open Studios at Brickbottom Artist Lofts, where I now live. I spent yesterday walking around, and discovered that Ron Pownall, noted and prolific rock photographer, is here. I encourage you to look at his site – he’s got some pretty awesome photos. One of the more NAPworthy details is that [...]
this was on my flight last week.

It’s been a blur of travel and adventure, and I would have missed my Sunday post except that I’m on the west coast, so I’m making it in under the time-zone+time-change wire.
This won’t be a long post, but I promise to start giving more detail over the next few weeks after I get [...]
Get your motor runnin’ head out on the highway
I’m on another adventure. In preparation for my year in Boston, I am trying to streamline and simplify operations in DC, and yesterday marked two steps forward, one step back.
Step 1 Forward. Large furniture remaining at my friend Kat’s moved back to studio.

This was put up a few days ago, so I’m sure you’ve all seen it by now. But for those who are slow like me:
That’s about all I’ve got for you today. I found out on Friday that I will be going to Boston for a year for the gig at the [...]
