Jackson Hole, Wyoming, having won the bid to host Monkey Power 18, exceeds expectations

By Mark | October 20, 2013

I’ve been in Wyoming these past few days, at the annual meeting of my one-day-a-year band, the Monkey Power Trio. This, I believe, was our 18th session. It was neither the worst, nor the best. All things considered, I’d say that it was positive. Many laughs were had. No one cried. No one screamed. No […]

Bonnie Bucqueroux on the Lansing Online News

By Mark | April 9, 2012

As I think I’ve demonstrated here in the past, I’m intrigued by what’s going on around the United States in the emerging field of citizen journalism. I like the idea of regular people rising up, motivated by the ever-decreasing quality of local reportage, and launching their own online news communities. As some of you may […]

Blogbaby episode seven: Chelsea Lowe on learning to fall

By Mark | January 6, 2012

[While I’m busy scrubbing poop from diapers and other articles of clothing, several friends have been kind enough to provide content for this site, through a program we’re calling Blogbaby. Today’s contribution comes from my author friend Chelsea Lowe, who lives in Boston.] The difference between high school and life, of course, is that one […]
