Groovy, baby.

Thrilled to announce that I now have 18 hungry students (and a teammate in teaching) at Chicago’s Columbia College — see you Monday nights on Michigan Avenue for 27-3960: The Business of Styling.

Now writing: Adventures in Adjunct Professing. Will keep you updated.

The World

It’s been a wonderful year, 2011. This last week sees some of us on the beach, others furiously wrapping up at the office and many, I would venture to guess, ready to turn a page.

When visiting my family and childhood home this week, I found a cache of data discs containing ready bits of my life from the early ‘aughts. I went deep down a digital wormhole of personal essays (English major at UofM), saved articles, logged AIM conversations, labored-over letters and hundreds of pictures and videos.

Also while at home my mom reminded me we opened our AOL account in 1995.

I haven’t been able to live without my hands on a keyboard or deep in the interwebs since my first Macintosh LC. I do it for Dose, THC and this site, amongst many others, now and years past. In fact, my very first indpendent business venture was creating websites for small businesses.

Here are two selections from this digital archive to see you into 2012: The 7 Vices of Highly Creative People and The Most Dangerous Game.

Happy page turning, however you do it these days. Personally, I heart my iPad. See you on the flip side.
