  • Link Party: 12/5-12/9

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. These stories about Prince are incredible. 2. Rei Kawakubo and the impossible task of her Met retrospective. 3. Dinner with the guy who revolutionized the science of cooking. 4. If you live in California, you should know the names of these political leaders. 5. 2016 is the year of playing ourselves.…

  • Link Party: 11/28-12/2

    What I’ve read lately: 1. The film J.D. Salinger nearly made of “For Esme, With Love and Squalor.” 2. New York’s dying diner culture. 3. Confessions of an Instagram influencer. 4. FiveThirtyEight asked 8,500 people why they leave comments on the Internet. 5. Donald Crowhurst’s heartbreaking 1969 circumnavigation hoax. And a bonus: Wes Anderson‘s Christmas…

  • Think Tank: The Future of Vine and the Internet

    (This is still my favorite Vine.) A few months ago, I wrote about Vine, the joy it brought to my life and its cultural significance — focused around its announcement that you could start posting longer videos. Vine is and was a gem of the Internet, and I am still floored by how six seconds…

  • Link Party: 8/29-9/9

    Hi! Long time no see. It’s really only been about two weeks, but it feels like a really long time to me. In those two weeks, my work/freelance/personal lives consumed me and I got a cold that kicked my ass. I’ve kind of been on the Internet, but not in a particularly mindful way. But those…

  • Think Tank: Vine Culture, Longer Vines and Why You Should Care

    So Zoë, tell me about Vine. When did you first hear about it?  I first started using Vine in 2015 on a whim, long after the social media network had emerged. I don’t remember what prompted me to download the app on my trusty iPhone 5, but it was probably curiosity — I wanted to…

  • Link Party: 6/20-6/24

    I have an uneasy relationship with summer. I love that I shift to a more laid-back way of life, and that I can take more time to explore. I hate the heat and how it stifles both my body and creativity, making me feel incredibly unproductive. I’ve lived in Southern California my entire life, and every summer is…

  • 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…

  • Think Tank: Facebook’s Expansion of the Like

    If you use Facebook, you have probably noticed that in the last few days there has been a significant change to your News Feed that a lot of people are talking about. In addition to just plain old Liking a post, you can now react in varying degrees of emotion: The impetus for this change…

  • 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…
