The Legend of Darryl Roy

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Best float in the Inman Park parade. And the best part about it was listening to people wondering aloud “who the hell is Darryl Roy?”

The Agrifolk Art Movement

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Here’s a really funny documentary short I saw last night as part of the AFF done by David Moore of Eyekiss films. Check it out, you will laugh, and if you don’t, it’s definitely your problem. Music by The Georgia Fireflies.
The Agrifolk Art Movement:

Then continue with part 2 and part 3.

Porno Para Ricardo

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Check out infrequent MUS contributor Mogre’s piece on Porno Para Ricardo, a Cuban punk rock band. I can’t link directly to it because CNN is gay. So, (audible groan), you have to go to cnn.com/video, click “Browse/Search video,” then search for Cuba in the pop-up window. The piece should come up first and is called [...]

Space Food Sticks

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

The glorious interwebs have once again delivered instant nostalgia verification and indulgence straight to my computer screen portal. When I was just a lad, a trip to grandma’s house always meant the accompanying treat “Food Sticks,” an odd 5 or so inched, cylindrical shaped candy in a cool brown paper and foil lined wrapper.

You’ve Got Mail

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Why you should check your email frequently.
“A gunman is loose on campus. Stay in buildings until further notice. Stay away from all windows.”
I don’t know if the university was to blame, but the first email came out 2 hrs after the first shooting. Of course, I don’t think they knew they had a rampage at [...]

The Futile Pursuit of Eudaimonia (Research)

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I’m all for studies and research and anything in general that makes sense where there formerly was none, or tosses some long standing, ill-begotten misconception out of the window, but I find all this happiness research stuff kind of silly. Um, The World Database of Happiness…are you kidding me? Now I’m a [...]

Non-standardized Excellence

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Before I embraced Jesus, if by Jesus we mean that particular form of free market loving liberty, I too suffered from thinking the problems of the nation and of the world at large were because governments did too little, not too much. This is an understandable position for the political neophyte; when something has “gone [...]
