  • Tune Time: October & November 2016

    Here’s what I’ve been listening to for the past two months: Bon Iver’s 22, A Million. 1. I was an extremely casual fan of Bon Iver before 22, A Million came out, but the YouTube lyric videos pulled me in. I knew enough about Justin Vernon to know that his music swirls in the indie folk…

  • Tune Time: June 2016

    Here’s what I listened to in the month of June: Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense. Imagine the Zoë you know and love today as a 15-year-old, combing through the CD section at her local public library looking for music she can take home and put on her iPod nano. One of those CDs happened to…

Here’s what I read: 1. Can Netflix survive in the world it created? (My take: probably not.) 2. How Silicon Valley nails Silicon Valley. (Do you watch this…

  • Link Party: 2/15-2/19

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This article about Tumblr teens was wild at every turn. 2. I’ve never been a huge fan of Buzzfeed’s content (besides a really great podcast called Another Round), but I’ve always found their business strategies and virality fascinating. Read this interview with Buzzfeed’s publisher and you’ll see what…

  • Link Party: 1/4-1/8

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. An abridged history of red lipstick. 2. I did not know that private, off-the-record briefings between Barack Obama and media members were a thing, but now I’m glad I do. 3. The parallels between web design and architecture. 4. The deep space of digital reading. 5. The second-season title…

  • Link Party: 9/21-9/25

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I loved this essay about annotating Alice in Wonderland and the contemporary connection of Genius. This is the kind of literary analysis content I’m here for. 2.

  • Capstone Adventures: Convocation

    You guys, I graduated from the Kellogg Honors College on Friday! My capstone project is finished! Well, that’s not entirely true. I need to send one last essay out to a publication, but I’ll tell you about that later. Tonight I wanted to talk about the experience I’ve been working towards for an entire year.…

  • Culture Connoisseur: The Top 10 Albums of My College Experience

    The other night I tweeted about how I tend to associate music and books. I like to listen to music while I read or do homework (which usually involves reading anyway) and can often think of a book or album and what I was reading or listening to at the time. I also realized that there are…

  • Link Party: 3/2-3/6

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Someone mapped out all of Drake’s references to Toronto. 2. An interesting look at forensic linguistics. 3.
