  • Gold Star for the Internet: Google Art Project

    Except for bits and pieces of information in high school and one class in college, the breadth of my art history knowledge has been self-taught. I love reading about art history, and if you started reading this blog way back when, you know I love visiting museums. I’m over the moon when I find online…

  • Link Party: 5/16-5/20

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Facebook’s initiative to bring the Internet to millions of people in India, and how it went wrong. 2. This essay on the fierce triumph of loneliness was one of the most personally relatable things I’ve read in a long time. 3. What does it mean when we call…

  • Link Party: 5/9-5/13

    Is it just me, or are the weeks just peeling by? Before we know it, it’ll be summer — a time I both look forward to (the mood) and despise (the weather). Here’s what I read this week: 1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 45 years later. 2. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Chance the Rapper, in…

  • Post-Grad Adventures: Success and Patience

    One of the most significant life lessons I’ve learned post-graduation is to be patient with myself, especially when it comes to my career. I’ve always put immense pressure on myself to be successful. Throughout undergrad, my definition of “success” was working hard, earning great grades, being a good scholar and getting into a prestigious grad program that would lead…

  • Link Party: 5/2-5/6

    This week was a great week in Internet writing. Here’s what I read: 1. This new Joan Didion piece is just her notes from reporting on the Patty Hearst trial in the 1970s, and it’s still incredible writing. I am in awe. 2. America and Allrecipes. 3. The eternal magic of Beirut. 4. The stories of…

  • What I Read: April 2016

    To help me stay on track in my 2016 goals, I’m documenting the books I read all year. Here is what I read in April: My Life On The Road, by Gloria Steinem: Gloria Steinem’s memoir had been on my reading list for awhile, because although I’ve read about her I wanted to learn more about who she is…

  • Link Party: 4/25-4/29

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This essay about working for a tech company in Silicon Valley is harrowing. 2. A glimpse of Larry Gagosian’s art empire. 3. I didn’t live on campus when I was in college, but I appreciated this essay about campus dining hall food. 4. An interview with the woman…

  • Tune Time: April 2016

    Here’s what I’ve been listening to lately: The Last Shadow Puppets’ Everything You’ve Come To Expect. I’m a pretty big Arctic Monkeys fan, so I will basically listen to anything that concerns Alex Turner. I loved this side project’s earlier album, and was so into the first single that I planned to buy tickets before…

  • Gold Star For The Internet: NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts

    In my travels across the Internet, I stumble upon many gems that when I see them, I wonder where they’ve been the whole time. One of these gems I want to share is NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. Back when I had a much longer commute, I loaded my phone up with as many podcasts about…

  • Link Party: 4/18-4/22

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Earning the “woke” badge. 2. The social media cabals that run the Internet. 3. The Coachella way of life. 4. How rich was Shakespeare? 5. Finding “lost” civilizations. And a bonus: Starting at 3:28, Prince’s incredible guitar solo in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 tribute…
