RESEARCH-CREATION & SCHOLARSHIP

This is where I post all of my research-creation and scholarship in progress. I manage the distribution of this content via Patreon. I invite you to become a Patron to support my independent research and creations so I can continue to bring new ideas and thoughts into the world. 

chores

This semester's TA assignment has been frustrating beyond all belief. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing all of the important professorial duties outside of the classroom. For instance, Professor decided to have the mid-term later than most other classes. Of course the...

literature review

for one of my classes (the one I haven't complained about), I've been researching information that will probably become a part of my thesis proposal when I write that next spring. It's more difficult than I expected to keep the two projects separate right now - I feel...

overheard from a coworker

"I hate all this University Lecture Series stuff. I mean talk about a waste of money. All people do is throw it away." When working in a department that has no connection to the academic side of things, I shouldn't be surprised to hear something like this. [Update:...

media art histories

While perusing Google Scholar, I found this nice site that has full-text papers that were presented at Refresh!, a conference on the history of media art, science, and technology. Looks pretty interesting. Media Art Histories Archive

under the radar

I'm going anonymous...at least for a little while. One of my class projects is going to involve a blog, and I don't necessarily want people that I know to stumble across this yet. My professor asked in class last night if anyone blogged, and I did not fess up. It's...

changes

I found out yesterday that my university has changed their policy on tuition waivers for graduate teaching assistants. Our tuition is now only covered for a portion of the number of credits that we need to take each semester to stay on a 3-year graduation track. My...

Patron-only Content

In this sidebar you’ll find links to archival posts projects past. I’ve made them available here for Patrons.

In the Works in Progress Photosets, you can see pictures that I take while I’m working on an object. These are especially interesting for cross-stitches and collages.

I also found a few posts from a short-lived and completely anonymous blog that I had in grad school called Virtual Intelligentsia. I didn’t tell anyone about this! Imagine the brand I could have been building! The Noughties were truly a different time.

Coming soon:
The Putt Plug Mini Golf Review Archive is the mini-golf review blog that I wrote from 2008 (?) to 2010.

The HustList is a blog that I had briefly when I was very stressed out about money and feeling stuck in a low-paying job. Whomst among us can relate.

Next community goal

While we’re building the community on Patreon, I will be continuing to read & write my way through the backlog of scholarship that I’ve accumulated AND I’ll be using Patron pledges to actively build the BIPOC section of the Picurious Vintage Photo Collection.
