the smartest stupid guy i know




























the smartest stupid guy i know

i like that

a method to the madness

enormous room was fun tonight, really no excuse for not getting over there once a week

listening to this album doubts and convictions by the troublemakers, it's really good!

c's resigned tony allen and eddie house aka TA and E House. you can't leave the house. i'm really psyched

this is what's percolating, or, as technorati says, Front page / what’s percolating in blogs now

these photos are by j. polon, with an slr. kinda crazy. i'd like to understand what an slr means to a photographer. the jump from photofilm to slr is like regular tv to hd. there's no comparison. if you take a photo with an slr you can make it look like it was designed with a computer, pretty incredible

but j deserves credit for these photos, i really like them and i really think they're impressive

wow, a lotta lotta fun, The Mae Shi




wow, a lotta lotta fun, The Mae Shi

these photos are unrelated, from a bbq a couple weeks back, pong in the rain y'all























































The Mae Shi were fantastic at great scott tonight, I wanted them to keep on playing and playing. they did a song from the rapider than horsepower split "Don't Ignore the Potential" and I loved it, "Nickel Arcade"

i had to get the new dvd, a couple t shirts (Jeff, you gotta try one on), and the vinyl. I never buy vinyl, so it's a special rarity for me, two records in the sleeves

managed to get some ppl to come, even saw a friend from winchester unitarian youth group who's going to Spain tmrw. drove over to Joe L.'s with Drew and met up with cats, yv dropped by the hobbit hole for a second, we got there at the right time and remembered our IDs, we even had glowsticks!!!!

here are things that knowledge was exchanged on tonight: BBN and the cost of private pre-secondary education, 16mm cameras from the 1950s from West Germany and their upkeep, and tinkering with old binary-based computer chips to create music.

rockin night, thanks for telling me to blog more.

the end of 4th of july weekend


































































the end of 4th of july weekend

hey, great weekend, so good that matt's gonna get me a bowl of ice cream now after he just rolled in with brown paper purses of whole foods

fun time last night, plenty of bug spray to go around, hopefully we get to do it again soon

watching sox yankees, bed soon. been running around like crazy but it's been really great seeing everyone. just gotta be consistently dealing and cleaning up

gotta make these days last cause everything seems like it happened yesterday and everything feels like it happened so close to now

tour de france started, i like watching it for the beautiful french vistas countrysides chateaus and castles. andrew and i watched the extent of 2200 mile course, incredible how these guys are able to do it

k that bowl of ice cream is here, cept i'm eating sunflower seeds. my todo list is still unfinished, it's a project.

dance and dance and dance and dance

a very happy 4th




















a very happy 4th

outside playing basketball and soccer all day and grilling, then charlestown for a party and more grilling, hanging out with friennnnnnnnds, driving ppl home and going to sleep. can't ask for much more

haven't blogged since wednesday? i need a daily recurring reminder telling me to get on my game

here is a breath-taking article on the olympic rowing team in china. ny times reporters got exclusive access to their nutty training facility, this is a really moving piece, look at the slideshow and watch the video

Rowing is unfamiliar to most Chinese, but their national team, in the gym and on the water, is among the world’s best.

if you really wanna get into it you can keep on reading a times blog post

or this other well-written blog post

oh yeah and you see the exercise that this chinese women is doing? i've done that exercise about 8 trillion times on those elevated platforms where you lie down and sweat all over the place, good times! except that these chinese athletes aren't allowed to go home to see their family for years at a time

"the moment of nothingness before the explosion of everythingness"


"the moment of nothingness before the explosion of everythingness"














i got included in rob's comic this week, i'm very happy about it, check out idiot comics

here's an excerpt from a book about a reporter playing in the nfl My Short, Manic Time in the NFL

the title of this post is a quote from the excerpt in which Fatsis talks about the moment before execution in sports. to me this is the moment before the start of a crew race.

strictly horizontal tonight
