  • 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: 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: 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…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Everlane

    Now that you guys know all about my aversion to shopping in a store, I’ll tell you about my new favorite (online) retailer: Everlane. Everlane’s claim to fame — which all started with one t-shirt, by the way — is that there’s no middleman between it and the customer. The price you pay for something in…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: The Hemingwrite

    I. want. this. so. badly. I don’t remember where I first came across the Hemingwrite (maybe a Verge article many eons ago), but an email popped up in my inbox this morning about a pre-sale (I love future Zoë when her brain is turned on.) Hemingwrite is a digital typewriter that saves all of your work…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Serial Podcast

    I’ve always wanted to be a podcast or books-on-tape person. I’ve tried to find  programs and become a regular listener, but they don’t keep my attention for long periods of time like a physical book does (I’d love to discuss that, but that’s another post for another day!) When I listen to music, I’m usually writing, reading or working…
