On Rules of Writing, or, Riffing on Rechy

In his terse and cogent essay, “ When Rules Are Made to be Broken ,” (LATBR, October 6, 2002), John Rechy attacks three “rules of writing” that, as he says, go virtually unchallenged in most fiction workshops and writing classes: Show, don’t tell — Write about what you know — Always have a sympathetic character for the reader to relate to. I read the piece cheering and arguing all the way. The first two “rules” were developed in response to faults common in the writing of inexperienced w

Tips for Keeping Wedding Costs Down

This post comes from my friend Jon, co-owner of FocalPoint Cinematic Weddings . Jon sees a ton of weddings each year (both cheap weddings and extravagant weddings). I was excited when he agreed to share his thoughts on smart ways of keeping wedding costs down. There is no getting around the fact that a wedding can be a big financial decision.  At the end of that glorious day, someone foots the potentially large bill.  No one wants to have a truly cheap wedding . But here are a few ideas t

Thomas Sullivan: STAINED GLASS NOTES FROM RINGTONES IN A GOPHER HOLE or I HATE OUTLINES

Planning is the death of spontaneity.   Goodbye magic.   Then again, spontaneity is how you end up going the wrong way on a one-way street.   When it comes to writing books, I like a lot of both — planning and spontaneity. Getting the balance right is an acquired skill.   Most people get mired in one extreme or another.   It’s their whatchamacallit…nature.   If you are one of them, congratulations.   You are normal.   But if you court creativity and like to express it in words, you

Development Experiments: Ethical? Feasible? Useful?

A new kind of development research in recent years involves experiments: there is a “treatment group” that gets an aid intervention (such as a de-worming drug for school children), and a “control group” that does not. People are assigned randomly to the two groups, so there is no systematic difference between the two groups except the treatment. The difference in outcomes (such as school attendance by those who get deworming vs. those who do not) is a rigorous estimate of the effect of treatment

La Guitare à Crayon

Click here to view the embedded video. The “Guitare à crayon” is a custom instrument for painting and playing music. The idea behind “la Guitare à crayon” is to be able to paint and play music with the same instrument. It’s a custom USB guitar with open source software: namely, pure data (sound) and gimp (visual). La Guitare à crayon is free hardware (as in “free speech” not “free beer”). Click here to view the embedded video. Hardware features: Accelerometer X-Axis (for e

When Simon and Garfunkel broke up in 1970, fans feared that that would be the end of the duo. But in 1981, they reunited for a free concert in New York City’s Central Park and then went on a world tour in 1982/83. In 1993, they did 21 sold-out shows in New York and they toured in 2003 and 20
