  • Gold Star for the Internet: KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic”

    On weekday work mornings, I listen to music to focus myself and tune out ambient office noise. There are two things that happen to me quite often: 1. I end up listening to the same bands and records over and over and over again. 2. I feel like a slug from 8 a.m. to about…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Gustavo Dudamel on YouTube

    It’s kinda weird to say in 2017 that I have a favorite conductor, but I have a favorite conductor. His name is Gustavo Dudamel, and he’s the conductor for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. If you live in Los Angeles, you’ve probably heard of him or seen his photo on lightpole banners around the city. I’ve…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Gold Star For The Internet: theSkimm

      When people find out that I have a journalism background, some like to inform me that they don’t like watching or reading the news. They think the everyday news is depressing or ultra-politicized, or they don’t like the clickbait stories. If this is also your sentiment, or even if you are just a news junkie…

  • Gold Star For The Internet: DJ Khaled’s Snapchat

    I actively use Snapchat, but up until recently I only used it to see updates from my friends. That all changed when I read a story a few months ago about DJ Khaled getting lost at sea on his jet ski, and that he documented the entire experience on his Snapchat account. The videos I…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Thrift Books

    The only bad thing about having an appetite for literature is that buying books can get expensive very, very quickly. Taking multiple literature classes at one time left me with a pile of good books to read but a dent in my checking account. Having to buy 10 or 12 books at one time gave…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Ezra Koenig’s “Time Crisis” on Beats 1

    Listening to Ezra Koenig‘s radio show on Beats 1 is one of my favorite weekend rituals. On Sunday afternoons, I make sure I’m somewhere in my house that has a good Internet connection, that my phone is charged or plugged in and that I’ve gotten something to eat for lunch (the very least, a Diet Coke).  I…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Podcasts I’m Currently Listening To

    On Monday, I started a new contract gig for a media company that’s based in Santa Monica. Because of traffic, it takes me about 2 1/2 hours to get there and about the same time to get home. I have a solid iTunes library, and I put my iPhone on shuffle in the morning to help…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Juniper Books

    So I’ve been looking for a pretty copy of William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! (because of reasons), and in my periodical search for the perfect one today I stumbled across Juniper Books. My life (and probably yours too) is officially ruined. Juniper Books is a bespoke specialty bookseller in Colorado, but seems to be mostly web-based. It sells beautiful versions of…
