These things drop in on you out of the blue; a phone call, a friend hurt, careful plans all upsidedown in the face of bodily harm, and sometimes it coincides with suddenly very everyday things like putting on a show.

Risa and I have had the chance to cover a lot more then just the Fringe this year.

Also, we’ve partnered […]

There’s been a lack of posts from Indyish-Team South (NYC) these past few days. We set out with such ideals (post every day!) and intent and we haven’t come through.
Well, folks, here is a late night, bar/pint originating post from the Indyish voice that rarely posts… even when he’s back home. […]

If you’re like me, you can see the advantages of open source development in the digital media age and how we can all benefit, but some of the core ideas might still escape you. Perhaps they are the economic concepts or they’re legal stuff. This might only be evident when you try to explain open […]
