Sorry for the silence here of late. It’s been crunchtime for fall semester, which I’m v excited about. What’s more, I thought I’d leave the “Diamonds from Sierra Leone”<\/a> post up for a while in the hope of getting more feedback for me and Boima<\/a> both. (Thanks to Lamin for sharing his thoughts<\/a> & the links<\/a>.) Hoping to do more posting in the near, near future. Meantime, allow me to rip&share my favorite bit from Boima’s mix, esp for you slackers who haven’t listened —<\/p>\n

dead prez, “i’m a african” remix<\/a>

The video — and a brief latenight intro to the mad mad world of machinima — inspired an interesting, “vaguely optimistic” riff over at \/jaceplace<\/a>, which I&I heartily recommend. (Thx also to ebog<\/a> for linkthinking along.)<\/p>\n
