I heard about them last year, but for one reason or another I didn’t really think too much about them. The “Dracies” (pronounced DRACK-EES) are a set of awards and recognitions given out by DRAC (Downtown Residents Association of Columbus) to point out various people and developments in and around downtown. Sounds simple enough, right? [...]

I guess DJ’ing is a lot like riding a bike?
On Wednesday last week I DJ’ed for the first time in about a year and a half. For those who don’t know, from around 2000-2005 I had regular dj’ing gigs all over Columbus and was spinning at least once a month. It’s funny because after a short hiatus that involved getting married, moving into a [...]
Why I’m Voting for Barack Obama
I’ve been hesitating to post anything about national politics on my blog, as this is not a political blog. It’s a personal blog, and I’m personally much more interested in local policies and issues than I am in national ones. It’s not that I don’t care about things on a national level… I just feel [...]

The new bookstore building opened at Columbus State after I had graduated, and after a year and a half of it slipping my mind, I finally make it in there today for a casual meeting with some of the fine folks at the SBDC. Pretty nice. It was a little annoying that I had to [...]
