More proof that I’m better than you

This one is for Jona, but I guess the rest of the internet can read it to. Last Friday I was on assignment for Oh Dang!, a Hip Hop culture magazine out of San Francisco, where I got to meet DJ Qbert, Casual of Hieroglyphics and hip-hop journalist Adisa Banjoko. I got to meet more...

The latest reason why I’m not bloggin’

by sdulai on Feb 20, 2007 • No Comments

So I sat down a few hours ago and thought I’d blog some of my latest pearls of wisdom, but wouldn’t you know it, the internet had other plans for me. I’ve been playing around with Free Rider for the last hour or so and I can’t stop. There’s been a ton these type of...

The elephant seals of Ano Nuevo

A few weeks ago I was afforded the opportunity to travel up the coast and do a story on elephant seals. I finally got around to working with Ryan and creating some more multimedia content for the web. Just like old times.

I finally went to the beach

by sdulai on Feb 15, 2007 • No Comments

After nearly six weeks at the internship in lovely Santa Cruz, I finally made it to the beach, which if you know me is flabbergasting. I’m the guy my friends know as the one who takes off for the beach when he’s bored or wants to clear his head or needs a destination to drive...

After winning a Pulitzer prize in 2006 for Final Salute, a brilliant piece that chronicles the travels of Maj. Steve Beck as he travels from family to family informing them that their loved one isn’t coming home from the battle on the other side of the world, the Colorado paper looks poised to do it...

Well I guess I have to now

by sdulai on Feb 14, 2007 • No Comments

So I never was one for the meme thing, but it looks like it has struck again. In December Ryan Sholin “tagged” me, I didn’t see it right away and figured that the window of obligation had expired, but then wouldn’t you know it, my good ole’ pal Daniel Sato decided to extend me another...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
