As promised, though a couple days late, I’m posting the latest UNC-Asheville Humanities 324 lecture from this week. The topic was The Enlightenment, and you can read the lecture outline [pdf]. Dr. Rizzo was the speaker. We watched some clips of a movie about this guy to the left, Olaudah Equiano.
For the complete podcast series, check this post: http://blog.afletcher.net/2010/01/humanities-324-lecture-podcast/
As promised, the recordings of the the Humanities 324 lecture’s have been podcasted and were just accepted into the iTunes store. Here are all the links.
- Subscribe in RSS reader
- View and stream on the web
- Subscribe in iTunes
- New episodes should post Friday afternoons.
- I’m using an iPod Touch 2nd gen. with headphones and included mic. The recording quality will get better as I experiment with where to sit and where to set the mic (I’m trying to be unobtrusive).
- Also, somebody told me that UNC-A did or perhaps still does offer a podcast of these lectures. I couldn’t find it on their website, can anyone confirm or deny?
I really think that these lectures are valuable and informative and should be available to the public. Many of the top tier colleges like MIT, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, et cetera offer podcasts of their classes to the public. After all, schools are in the business of selling degrees, not information. Let’s emancipate the information from the lecture hall. Enjoy!
Well the semester has just started and I’ve been trying to think up new ways to stay engaged and motivated in school, so I’m going to synthesize school with the geeky things that I love to do like blogging. With that in mind, I’m going to (attempt) to record and post every HUM 324 lecture this semester here on. You’ll find them all under this category, and if you want to subscribe in your RSS reader, here’s the feed. And Coming Soon: This will be a podcast, which you will be able to subscribe to in iTunes. The lecture outlines are posted as well.
Oh, and while you’re at it, if you use this, add me on the bookFace.
Yes, I’m bootlegging academia and podcasting it. ZOMG! Technology FTW!
Good friends Screaming Js, the house band at MoDaddy’s, needed a poster to help with some promotion. So they asked me to put something together, and this is what I did. I tweaked the type (I used Blackmoor) and stole the piano from the 1902 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue. They liked it, I liked it and I think it represents their music pretty well.
You can catch them, and often me, tonight at MoDaddy’s and every Wednesday. They put on a kickin good show, and you owe it to yourself to catch these guys. And it’s free. See you there!
After months of hoping to find myself on MountainX’s StreetStyle, I finally caught up with Ally outside the Flat Iron building a few weeks ago. She even said I was her new favorite model. Any time! It was fun. Here are the results.

Boots are some battered old US Army combat boots that I’ve worm almost everyday for 5 years. Pants are straight leg slim fit Express Rocco, shirt is Express 1MX Modern Fit (last year’s). Generic reversible black/brown belt. Tie is a black on black paisley that I found at my house after a party. Shades are Ray-Ban knock offs that I bought at a stand on Main Street in Hickory during their Oktoberfest. Jacket is a non-labeled find from Madame Butterfly on Lexington Ave (they have a small but excellent men’s section). Watch is a Citizen Eco-Drive 200 Meter BM6400-00E that my grandparent’s gave me as a graduation present.
P.S. I am a heterosexual male.
