As SF Music Hack Day approaches, I thought I’d bump this to the top of the page. For the past few years, I’ve tried to teach myself how to code without much luck of making any tangible progress. I realized that my problem wasn’t lack of motivation; my failure to thoroughly learn how to build [...]
ART: Reuben Margolin’s Pentagonal Wave
“Want to see something cool?” I wasn’t sure how to answer this question coming from two random guys approaching a friend and I at a bar on the Venice Beach boardwalk. However, after a long weekend celebrating the marriage of a former college roommate in Las Vegas, I wasn’t exactly in a state of mind [...]
SoundCloud + Jory Des Jardins = Awesome
It’s always inspiring to see women speak at conferences – especially since they’re still primarily dominated with a male presence (no, this is not going to morph into a convoluted “Women in Tech” post, I promise). I got a chance to see Jory Des Jardins, Founder and CEO of BlogHer, the largest women’s blogging network [...]
Super Mario Bros. + Portal
Super Mario Bros. (1985) was my favorite video game as a kid and now it’s been combined with the modern phenomenon, Portal, which, sad to say, my over-the-hill ass knew nothing about until my much geekier friends schooled me this past weekend.

I can still recall the initial moment that inspired me to pursue photography on a more serious, professional level. My friend, Julie Melton, had taken the most exquisite pictures of Tori Amos and PJ Harvey at the music portion of SXSW in 2009 and, upon gazing at those images repeatedly, I had only one recurring [...]
Cold War Kids Live Review + Exclusive FREE Download of the Show
Originally posted on MOG I distinctly remember the first time I saw Cold War Kids perform live. It was a sunny afternoon at the peak of SXSW Music Festival, 2007. The party, sponsored by Paste Magazine, drew a huge crowd (meaning practically everyone who bothered to RSVP showed up) that packed a two-story, downtown Austin [...]
MOG Exclusive: Simian Mobile Disco Talk Old Vices and New Tunes
Originally posted on MOG What can I possibly say to Simian Mobile Disco that bloggers obsessed with the band’s electro-savvy sound haven’t already asked? It’s enough to make a girl worry on the way to an interview. Born from the ashes of Simian, the duo, James Ford and Jas Shaw, worked its way into mainstream [...]
