In San Jose Sans Photoshop

by | Aug 16, 2006 | nate, travelblog

My main excuse for not updating my travelblog recently has been the lack of Photoshop, which I should be getting soon, but also I've been a bit lazy in general not in the mood for finding a "wifi hotspot". I'm in the South Bay visiting Nick and I actually popped into...

LA Exile Part 1 Union Station (pics)

by | Aug 9, 2006 | nate, travelblog

It's both strange and relaxing here. I haven't done anything but on the other hand this is exactly what I wanted to do the past couple weeks but just felt too stressed to do in Stockton or Santa Cruz. I'm somewhat in survival mode since I'm conscious of not wanting to...

Train Delays

by | Aug 8, 2006 | nate, travelblog

Delays on the Coast Starlight I'm scheduled to take this train twice in the next two weeks... once between LA and SJ and once between Sac and Seattle ... Then they called me today and said there may be delays. I'm not sure if them calling me is a response to this...

Long Beach (pics)

by | Aug 7, 2006 | nate, travelblog

After a week or so in Stockton I'm down in sunny LA.. though it was mostly foggy this morning. Feeling pretty productive actually. I went to a coffee shop on Second Street and found a free wireless hub. Spend the morning looking up jobs in New York and sending in my...

Last Days of Santa Cruz 1

by | Aug 4, 2006 | nate, travelblog

A couple days ago I spent some time with Nicole in my final days of cruzin' it. I'm glad that I met Nicole and hung out with Sophia a lot in my last month of Santa Cruz. They helped me remember a lot of what I was forgetting about how great Santa Cruz was. I suppose...

Last Days of Stockton 2

by | Aug 4, 2006 | nate, travelblog

Being in Stockton is starting to grate on me. Not that I have anything against the town or its people per se. I just feel stagnant now. I'm out of Santa Cruz and yet New York still seems far away. Part of the problem I guess is not having an exact place to stay in New...

Last Days of Stockton

by | Aug 2, 2006 | nate, travelblog

I'm sure I'll find myself here many times over. But it may be a while yet. I had been meaning to blog my experiences from day one but I have found that Stockton, CA is a deadzone when it comes to wireless internet. Come to think of it, however, I haven't really tried...

The Hidden-Fee Economy

by | Jul 17, 2006 | culture, nate

Living in the Hidden-Fee Economy "... how many people realize, when they walk out of CompUSA, a nice $99 inkjet model tucked under their arm, that it's likely they've just committed themselves to spending nearly $1,500 on ink cartridges over the next four years? (In...

‘The Coolness’

by | Jul 16, 2006 | digital media, media, movies, nate

This Article on Keanu Reeves is about as close as you can come to a really good film paper published in Slate. It has all of the good elements of an academic paper and is entertaining... which is sometimes the hardest thing to do. I wish more academic papers could...

Review of Scanner Darkly, A

by | Jul 14, 2006 | movie reviews, movies, nate

It's a rare movie that gets better as it goes as it goes along. That territory is more reserved for books. Perhaps its by staying true to the book that A Scanner Darkly achieves this feat. I haven't read the book so I don't know. What I can say is that the film is...
