Happy Birthday to Steve Masur!
attorney-to-the-entertainment, gaming and tech-hipsters turned..., well we won't spill the beans. But we can say that the Masur Entourage supported Downtown NY in style at three (count 'em - 3) spots ranging from Tribeca Grand to Bulgaria! http://www.masurlaw.com/
ITP ~ Innovation To Prosper
The sun was shining, folks were fettering on folksie projects and performance artists were letting all their creative juices flow (Flavor: Bordeaux). It was NYU's Alumni weekend and I stopped by to visit several departments. First I peeked into the Experimental Theater Wing's studio to see department chair Kevin Kuhlke, who actually reminds me a lot of Kevin Kline, and updated him on my acting career (there's none).
Then I sauntered over to the ITP department, geek-girl at I am. The lovely department chair, Red Burns, oversaw their celebration with a massive Cupcake Café cake. Vica Vinogradova (http://www.ladno.com/) was beaming as she arrived and Master Teacher of Communications Marianne Petit (http://fargo.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/~mrpetit/) was gathered around a table with Matthew Belanger and ECHOnyc's founder Stacy Horn, who told me about her next book project. (Stay tuned-www.echonyc.com).
Two projects of note:
- A flat-screen panel that you could "paint" on. When you dipped one of three paintbrushes into a clear "test-tube" it would paint a different video image (in brushstrokes) of captured images from a cam.
- ITP 03 grad Jake Barton's www.storycorps.net. A nationwide project to instruct and inspire people to record each others store. Record in grand central and in the library of congress.

Back-to-Iraq.com
Iraq has been a hotbed of controversy since the start and we've been inundated with reports from major (and minor) media throughout. If you really want a ground-level view on life and the pursuit of liberty there, read Christopher Allbritton's daily newsletter-blog for some true "new new journalism."
Highlights include information on:
- Chris's background, which is very interesting
- His first trip to Iraq as the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger
- The benefits you receive when you donate to the cause (his!)
- His book proposal
- His next (and perhaps permanent) trip to Iraq
[From his inspired-design and content website:] His goal is to be based in Baghdad, freelancing for major organizations and continuing running Back-to-Iraq.com. Chris will be "your man in Baghdad, bringing his voice and experience that he gained during the war back to you." Iraqi people will be front and center.
Please donate to help Chris get Back-to-Iraq and give us the wonderful reporting and insight that he does! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

Masur's Birthday Rock-out

TCS Intro ~ April 16, 2004
When all your friends are telling you that you should do something, it probably means you should. This was the good advice from my new friend Brian (see below). And I’d heard a similar sentiment from a few other fine folks this week including Michael Terpin (http://www.terpin.com). It won’t be a long tome, just a fresh breezy snapshot on all the who’s who you know and what’s what. And without further delay.
I’ve spent the day (Friday, April 16, 2004) exploring the new and fascinating world of FOAF. Alex Santic (www.nysia.org) invited me to join, http://www.dodgeball.com/social/index.php
Which in turn lead me to learn about the FOAF project (http://www.foaf-project.org/) and set up my own FOAF page (http://www.pulitzer.com/foaf.rdf) and also learn about http://www.theyrule.net/. Very cool!
