Douglas Rushkoff is one of my heroes. I forgot about this piece. All about how trends are created/commodified/destroyed and capitalizing on the 150billion market of teens.

Nielsen's is doing some research on mapping the brain in accord to 'commodity consumption' and stimulation. Fucking scary, reminds me of a Phillip K Dick Novel, Minority Report. Nielsen | NeuroFocus

Yeah, but it's due to a variety of reasons. April was my last month of TA/research duties. Went Philippines with father for 2 weeks, stayed in LA for another week, back to Kansas City and Columbia Mo. Parents have a home in Columbia, however, I got a part time gig and all the friends are here in KC. Got a hook up hotel wise, so it works out.

Have not been sleeping since May, or since I returned cause of this, fake sabbatical shit. I'm gonna be swamped Sept. when sem starts, and i'm getting my ass handed to me. Plus, I dunno, another adjustment to east coast, has me a little nervous.
If it doesn't get better gonna hit up dad for a one month of sonata.

You gotta ask yourself, is that something you would like to do. I think it's perfect for you.
Check this out. Have a friend that did some monkey/gopher work to help out in this piece. May intrigue you. I dug it.

Yeah, I dunno either. Oklahoma is the only one who can give a run for the money. I remember 07-08, it was arguable that the big 12 > SEC.
Things are changing quicker and quicker. Yeah it kinda blows.

Hey, just giving a shout out to you and your undergrad alma... saved the big 12. Did not want mizzou in big 10. MK finishing move is right.

Yeah, bro. I was 27 when I went for MA, got help from Mom and Dad, and even at 32, will most likely be asking for help now and then in NYC. Hell, I will be 37 when I graduate with Doctoral. It' aint sexy, I get a stipend and free housing through a grant, but with this econcomy, and the fact that I'm not Software, or Corporate inclined... I can't be having chilean sea bass/Nieman Marcus tastes. I was also thinkin, maybe I should've went med school route. Actually contemplated that, this last year. I feel good with my decision. I do Hear U, though.

Dude, take the transpo job, and wait awile, or not. Just sayin, I'm gonna have to live off of 24,000 dollars, housing already taken care of for the next 5 years. Gonna live with T on the uppereastside in January, however, it's not like cash will be rolling in. Feel it out, if U think you are gonna get burnt out, wait a couple, if not go. However, I think U should take a break from academia for awhile, 4 to 6 years is a long haul.
