Infected Worldmind
Who am I?
I'm general counsel for a medium-sized tax-exempt organization that helps court-involved and other at-risk populations clear barriers to success in the community.
I'm also a development/fundraising professional and provide legal advice and guidance to start-up entertainment firms.
I'm a contributor to Funnybook Babylon and my ever-expanding bookshelf is here. I infrequently write about food and take pictures.
I'm also the happiest newlywed in the world.
That's everything.

Comments, questions, etc. are welcome.
you wanna buy the farm, but the land’s not yours to own. read this instead.
I still need to hear this album.
The original version of Mama Told Me, by Big Boi and Little Dragon, from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. From Big Boi’s forthcoming album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (link to the deluxe 17 track edition). Can’t wait to pick this one up. via Miss Info. Okayplayer has the mp3 of this version of the track (which will never be released due to label drama) here.
Kali, by Sonnymoon, from their eponymous EP. Perfect Sunday afternoon music.
Some dude is trying to get me fired because I didn’t want to be on his mailing list, I guess in an attempt to bully me into writing about his comics, or punishing me for not wanting to read his emails, or something. “Blah blah blah I wanna fight, blah blah blah I’m gonna take it to the streets behind some comic book nonsense.”
Mmmmmmmmnah. That’s not gonna work.
This is just shameful. MF Grimm should apologize for this embarrassing, unprofessional display. Grimm should have engaged David in a more constructive manner. Grimm could have explained why this project is particularly important and worthy of everyone’s attention. Grimm should have done what most independent businessmen/entrepreneurs do when they face some resistance from tastemakers - try harder. Instead, we get a childish response that validates all of the worst stereotypes about black men, particularly those in hip-hop. This should have been an opportunity to build.
