All the presidents boys get mash’d-up

by sdulai on Mar 9, 2008 • No Comments

This is just one of those things that is just too perfect for me to not post. That part after the first drop beat is sheer brilliance. I seem to have a weakness for clever editing, the Beastie Boys, good Robert Redford movies and engaging dramas based on journalistic endeavors. (Which reminds me I still...

Hello ladies, apparently me have something in common

by sdulai on Mar 8, 2008 • No Comments

Today is March 8th and apparently the ladies, or lay-dies as I prefer, and I have something in common. No, it’s not that we both cry at weddings, like Audrey Hepburn movies or secretly wonder if we’d be able to stop ourselves from throwing ourselves at George Clooney and screaming like a school girl in...

SJSU Multimedia Academy launch

by sdulai on Mar 8, 2008 • No Comments

I may not be at San Jose State University anymore, but last week one of our projects during my time finally moved from a great idea to the real deal. The SJSU Multimedia Academy was brainstormed last spring as a multi-year, world-wide program to explore the stories that litter the planet, just waiting to be...

Quick Hits: Kids with Guns

Tim Hussin, who is interning at the Deseret Morning News, decided to fill in his time away from work with, what he describes as an opportunity: “I just wanted to go as overboard as I could with it. And I wanted to experiment with garageband.” And experiment he did with “Kids with Guns,” a feature...

I’m right here Roberto!

by sdulai on Mar 6, 2008 • 1 Comment

That guy right there on the right who’s hugging the hell out of me (or looks likes he about to tackle me?), that’s Roberto Rosales, a staff shooter from the ABQ Journal, and apparently he misses me. We’re also flanked by Jim Thompson, center, and Greg Sorber, left, also staff shooters that had been great...

Re: I need a haircut…

Ok… this is just too good not to share… Arriving in my e-mail a few hours after my last post, my good buddy Daniel Esch decided to not be shackled by the distance between us and took it upon himself to share his razor sharp wit and knowledge of all things awesome. A Biz Markie...

$12, 12 hours, 12 musicians

by sdulai on Mar 6, 2008 • No Comments

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the 48 Hour Film Fest and a few of you may have heard of 24 House Comic Day, but I’m pretty sure not to many have heard of the inaugural Crate Digger Deathmatch, a 12 hour contest that challenges contestants to spend $12 on supplies and produce an album...

I need a haircut…

by sdulai on Mar 5, 2008 • No Comments

Ok… I’m giving in, once it starts whipping me in my own eyes, it’s time. That’s me back in August when I first arrived to start in ABQ. And here I am about 2 weeks ago. In between zero trims. So there. Also, some people out there have expressed that I’m not posting enough pics,...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
