…would be what some MIGHT say about the beginning of a new school year. I’m interrupting my electronic “unplugged” week today to do a bit of housekeeping here and there, but will largely be offline for the rest of the last week of summer vacation. One reason I opted for this “unplugged” week is that [...]

Forgive that Rocky Horror Picture Show reference, please, although if you’re not familiar owing to youth or if campy midnight audience-participation films are not your cup of tea, I apologize. I know my casual American pop-culture references might make for some undesired confusion, but the fact that I speak in these metaphors actually types me quite [...]
a heartbreaking work of no genius…

TWO MONTHS since my last post, internets. TWO MONTHS. I am not going to apologize for my dereliction of duty because a) let’s be honest, couldn’t we all tell where my next few posts were going to go (policy lab) and b) Tushar and Laura were such a breath of fresh air around here. I [...]

Well, internet, you may have heard there was some ruckus going on at the New School lately, and I can report this: most of us were honestly so crazed about Lab that after our question “OK, but CAN WE USE THE MEETING SPACE?” was answered, my compadres and I really didn’t have time to raise [...]

I don’t want to further jinx us but I think after another round of revisions, that our Round 1 brief is finally completed. Today my new group met with our client (also new to Round 2) and, frankly, I still don’t know exactly what day it is owing to how crazy this week has been.
One [...]

Wow, I really haven’t updated in far too long, but if you had followed me around in real time with a camera, internets….well, frankly it would have been a mix of sadness, giggles, exhaustion, medication, occasionally irrational outbursts, and usually ending up at laughing again. That’s something at least.
To use a great line from “The [...]
sick and tired…

Yes, my friends, that is where your faithful pals and colleagues have been in policy-land: sick and very very tired.
Word of warning: there are now so many rhinoviruses (sounds more menacing than “germs”, doesn’t it?) floating around the Milano building that I would not blink if the heretofore unaffected started sporting scary spaceman outfits, so [...]
group project overload

When we started our group blog we intended to make our posting fairly equal, so I apologize to Laura and Tushar for jumping back in again. But our content has run a bit low, obviously, and not for lack of what we could write about–rather, it is about the time!
If you apply to Milano enthusiastically [...]
