New "Be Useful" : The Game that Saves Lives



In many ways, information technology seems as if it is always trying to make life simpler. For example, 100 years ago we had to write letters back and forth to our friends who were in different villages. Now, we can just send Facebook messages in a fraction of a second. The internet is constantly allowing us to simplify and expand every single one of our actions.

Can it also help starving children?



Of course….and of course, you can too.

Free Rice has been around for years, but it is a cause that should never lay to rest. You can visit FreeRice.com, and there you can practice or show off your excellent skills in vocabulary and trivia, and at the same time you can contribute to improving child nutrition.

1. You play their games.
2. For each correct answer you give, you will have donated 10 grains of rice.

Free Rice is so impressive because it not only allows for improvement in areas of nutrition and child health, it also raises awareness for some of the most critical and sensitive causes. Furthermore, it allows children, teenagers, or anyone of any age demographic to have fun and improve some skills.

You can play a computer game that will keep children from starving.

Last night, in 10 minutes I donated 3,000 grains of rice.
How many can you donate in 10 minutes?

Can you top that?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
