One City

Hey everyone, Some news to report… Last year, I had the fortunate opportunity to do a 4 month internship at my favorite organization, Democracy Now! DN! is an extraordinary example of independent media — it is a daily radio and television program hosted by the world renowned journalist (and long time hero of mine), Amy…

Quick reminder: There is still time to contact NY government officials to urge them to keep NYC plastic bag recycling law in effect – see here for more details. Now to our regular scheduled post: Sen. Eric Schneiderman has been working hard on revising the last Integral Activism memo based on the feedback that he…

My friend Lisa threw herself down in her desk chair and ran her hands through her curly hair in despair. “I just don’t know what to do, you guys! Ugh! HELP ME!” She bemoaned, “He’s a really great kisser and he’s really funny and I like him…but he’s a Republican! What should I do!? UGH!…

This question has increasingly been explored in the fields of economics and psychology over the last few years. I certainly think of it often, particularly if I’m meditating on the first of the four Brahmavih?ras—the wish that all sentient beings be happy. What am I wishing them, exactly?

And the conversations have been…raunchy. And, quite frankly…racial.” (Upon pronouncing this last word, his pale Cuban…

Stillman Brown is the seventh member of the band (after Nigel Godrich). I haven’t been taken with the beauty of a music video in a while (Zero 7 had a good one back in the day), but Radiohead’s “House of Cards” grabbed me this morning. For an interesting discussion of how it was made, look…

A few readers of the One City blog brought up a great point last week in response to my post about organic food, one that I think merits discussion of its own: is “eating local” even more important that eating organic? Is it fresher? Better for you? The environment? Most important (to my lazy self),…

For the last few years I have been producing reality television shows, an interesting crossroads of storytelling, documentary, and mockumentary. A key component of all of these shows is the interview.  Part confessional, part narrative device, partly real and partly scripted, the interview is the place where the real people playing themselves gets to clarify…
