No, I’m not talking about the death of celebrities. No, that’s not what I’m here to discuss. Lots of news happened, importantly, on the political front, as of late. Many of these articles are outdated now, but I’ll give you the excerpts anyway. Look for a post about Pride 2009 in Baltimore later this week. It [...]

Oh my. I’m pretty sure they make these nerdy political and digital videos just for me. Click the links to open up the video in a shadowbox. I don’t want to embed to objects because the page already loads too slowly Want Obama Girl? Save Your Energy (Music Video + Advocacy) Terminator: Salvation – Deleted [...]

“If during the week you need an audio fix, you can download the podcast on iTunes by searching for Matt Darey Nocturnal in the iShop.” I’ve been hearing that line a lot recently, in my car, via either internet radio, mp3, podcast, or burned CD-RW. Listening to the latest in dance music is hard work. There [...]

This has been a very depressing news cycle for me. Ugh. So much negativity swirling around my head. It means that you’ll probably be seeing a few rants within the next few days on this page. Iran is still a mess, and people are dying. Of course I’d like the regime to fall, as well as [...]

The book I’m still reading, Viral Spiral, (yeah, I’m an idiot slow reader. Say a prayer for me for when I get to grad school) got a little more interesting in the past few pages, namely because instead of talking about the history of the commons movement, there was a recounting of philosophical disputes between [...]

It’s June 16. We are coming up on the summer solstice. And yet, I’m walking around outside in two longsleeve shirts, a longsleeve jacket, and corduroy pants. WTF is going on?!?! I don’t know about you, but this is really starting to freak me out. I feel like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky (tried to find [...]

There is a lot in the news. One, we’ve got Iran in a mess. And two, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away real health reform. Three, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away on regulations that could save us from another recession like this one in the near future. Enjoy!

“I’m clinically depressed.” This is never good news to you when it comes from one of your best friends because it feels like you failed. “You sucked so much at being a friend that now I need to take happy pills.” Now, that’s not the real reason that my friend is depressed, it is, he claims, because he [...]

I found tons of great stuff out there on the net today, mainly health care related, which is great because I’m on a health care kick right now, as is much of the political world. Have fun today! Tobacco Regulation, at Last New York Times Editorial After more than a decade of struggle — and countless smoking-related deaths [...]

On the whole, I’m very happy with Obama pushing for a public option to be included in any kind of health reform bill. Without a public option, there might as well be no reform. Sure, cutting costs and expanding public health are really great things–things we should do and need to do–, but there is [...]
