reset
time to stop using the probably-wordart template resume that i banged together four years ago and just keep reediting and repatching until the entire thing gets so bogged down with reedits and repatches and ostensibly good typography (hint: not true) that it just sort of lumbers there, and creaks, before it collapses below its own weight, all suspenseful for the last ten minutes before the last...

1. i am nearing the end of literature review for the book, and true to form i am concluding it with a furtive plea for help. i do not presently have the cash to grab any further stuff off amazon; i have gotten the bare essentials, and then run into a wall. i know it’s the Worst Recession Ever™ right now and all, so any help you could provide would be felt a billion times over. i’ve...
summer schedule (updated when necessary)
so a bunch of people are planning visits to chicago this summer and they keep asking me what all is going on. here are the things that i am definitely, confirmedly, tickets-purchasedly, added-to-facebook-profilifically going to. i’ll keep updating this post when new stuff hits, for events up to and including labor day weekend.

following #1, any example graphics must be small and finely detailed
, which means that the book should be printed at at least 2,400dpi.
and editorial
a fully-formed product...

shunt/the idea of chicago vs. the fact of chicago
logan’s pretty brainfuck gorgeous this evening, per most of the time, but i’m really frayed because the commute out from downtown was really complicated and technical. i bike from state/jackson to my place on palmer square by doing this: state north, adams, jefferson, fulton a block over to des plaines (where it turns 2-way for a block), over two lanes to turn left on milwaukee while...
