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.

Loving You is Killing Me, by Aloe Blacc. From Good Things, his sublime sophomore LP. Aloe’s an amazing talent. He also collaborates (as a singer and mc) with Exile as Emanon (hat tip to David Brothers). I have the Waiting Room on my wish list - can’t wait to check it out at the end of the week.

I’m particularly moved by this part:
“love is the expansion of the self to include the other.
and that’s a different kind of revolution.
there’s no one to fight.
there’s no evil to fight.
there’s no ‘other’ in this revolution.
everybody has a unique calling, and it’s really time to listen to that.
that’s what the future is going to be.
it’s time to get ready for it…
and to contribute to it, and help MAKE IT HAPPEN.”
Moonshine: Artists After Dark. This is what the Dreamworks animators do after dark… Very cool stuff.
“For example, when I’ve been beaten in a golf tournament or a bridge game, or maybe I’ve bowled badly on a particular night, when I feel low, this is when I come home and really pour it on poor old Charlie Brown”
