daily habits
i havent posted a screen capture in a long time, probably because i haven't been accidentally making any interesting glitch scapes or graphics lately. here's just a grab of my post-college education: wikipedia. the bulk of my new knowledge these days comes from two hours of NPR on my commute, conspiracy theories on kpfa during lunch, and forum/blog browsing during work.
a lot of what i hear branches out into some research into wikipedia, infinitely entertaining enlightening encyclopedia. my latest searches involved "contranyms" (because i heard richard haass being interviewed by michael krasney this morning, which led me to cfr.org which led me define:sanction, which i found out was a contranym). other searches included "numbers station" and "blinkenlights." (my fantasy is to become a spy, I guess).
listening to all that heavy-hitting morning news and debates for three straight months is stressing me out, though. lots of sad stuff without enough happy stuff to balance it out. i've decided to do listen to more podcasts, if only i'd find anything i'm interested in. so far, i haven'd heard any radio-style shows that i want listen to while driving. i like starfrosch (but it's just music and it's this pop-y pseudo-glitch tech/electro house -- AH!) anyone want to recommend one or two podcasts to subscribe to? and, great new blogs?

david byrne's nyc life:

holy shit marlin's blog makes my head reel. i've stopped thinking.
by the way, hasn't boingboing.net turned to shit lately? i don't find anything that interesting on it.
i like your blog. the design inspired illustrations are really cool. since leaving college i started reading about geopolitics and sharing what i learn on my blog (http://dropoutpostgrad.blogspot.com). maybe u'll like it since you like npr. i'm all about brian lehrer's pod casts. npr has be a crucial source of post-university education.
