Your greatest creation is your life story
I first interviewed Jonathan Harris about 3 years ago when I was at Vice. Even then his mind was way ahead of his time. I've since tried to work with him on various projects, and still hope we can make this happen soon. Jonathan's latest work, "Today", continues to inspire the shit out of me, by using technology to invigorate humanity.
GREAT NAPS
Christine Boepple creates funny niche blogs. She came up with Weird Dude Energy, Rad Dudes, Prog Eyes and Gigs. Her latest, Great Naps, is no exception. I doff my cap to you, m'lady.

I ♥ Black Boyz
Sitting in a "relevant" dive bar the other night, I accused my bi-curious BFF of being a big fat racist for not referencing black music. So he made me a MOBO mixtape to refute the slanderous allegation... DOWNLOAD
