Endeavors of People Whom I Am Lucky Enough to Count as Friends
I have the most ridiculously talented friends in the whole entire world. It's sick. You'll be sick when you find out. The trouble is that a lot of these people don't brag about it over the Internet. Here, thankfully, are the ones who do.-
Nadim Damluji lives the life you wish you could live. He knows everything cool and hip. He has won a Watson Fellowship to travel the world and study the Orientalism of Tin Tin Comics. He dresses well and has a good laugh. This is his Tumblr.
-
Andrew Hall will someday achieve fame for doing something you never thought anyone would achieve fame for. I don't know what it is yet. Neither does Andrew. But the proof is in his blog.
-
Maggie Rudy, Sam's unbelievably talented mother, makes little mouse worlds that you daydreamed about when you were a little kid. Except hers are cuter. They will blow your mind. Honestly.
-
Andrew Jesaitis worked for Goldman Sachs. He didn't get fired. He said, "Fuck this place," and quit, and started focusing on his beautiful photography, which you can see here.
-
Jayda McGough has the two most beautiful twin boys you have ever seen in your life. Seriously. You want to sign them for your modeling project NOW. She also teaches Special Ed and gives badass parenting tips.
-
If you can figure Alan Waxman out, I will give you a lot of money or hugs or something like that. But I think he is onto something that no one else is yet. Or maybe he's just living in Japan, where they're all a lot more tuned in.
-
Remember in high school when people were talking about HTML coding and you had no idea what they were talking about? That was Jordan Reynolds, and he built this site back then, and it still totally rocks.
-
Ian is a Web designer who has lived in a lot of places. He makes favicons seem worthwhile and interesting. If you are dubious, you can look at his Web site.

Personal Endeavors
Past projects, mostly failed, often nostalgic, belonging to Sophie-
My first blog in the Big Easy, charting the most personal moments from my first year of teaching. Mostly, this is me trying to pull myself out of depression.
-
I liked Tumblr so much. I liked to show people all the things I found on the Internet. It was a brief, but intense love affair.
-
I started a political commentary blog while I was interning at the wonderful Nation magazine for a summer because I didn't know what else to do to become a journalist in this day and age.
-
Made mostly in New Genre art class, these are a slew of videos that prove what happens when you let me play with a camera and call it a class for which I could receive college credit.
-
This was a Live Journal I wrote in religiously when I was in high school.
-
This was Live Journal number two, chronicling the first year of college. Oh, times were crazy then.
-
And once I even had a site where I posted my very dark acrylic paintings and hoped someone who drew Manga would log into the Internet and fall in love with me.

I'm A Part Of It
Oh, how my world is expandable.-
The only really big, really real magazine I have ever written an article for. I interned for The Nation in 2007, which was probably the most important experience of my life.
-
I still regularly contribute to this blog, which is run by my college art professor Ben Bloch. It reads like a Tumblr on crack cocaine -- and for a grade.
-
This is the amazing, amazing place where I get to work every day. Oh, I'm the luckiest person in the world.
