The Diaries: D.C. – sunshine activism

First day in DC, Georgetown area. Had never seen the campus. The weather warmed significantly. Skin showed. We got a cheap-ish room across the Potomac – one of the great advantages of traveling with someone. Bought some beers nearby, and met a friendly guy, Moe, who wanted to decide whether he should take his girlfriend … Read more

The Diaries: The Road-Test, and the die is cast

March 13th The Road-Test “Virgin, Mobile” – the promotional and default ringtone of my cheap pay-as-you-go phone sings through the room. I look at the name displayed on the blinking screen: Redrik.

The Diaries: Redrik’s manifesto, what’s made you wish to leave it all behind?

In the near future we will likely experiment with combined notes and … Read more
