The Medium, unveiled.
Ok, I have a special treat for everyone. A few days ago I was able to grab copies of most of the issues of the student paper I had written articles in at Rutgers (thanks, Josh). My plan is to type in all the articles of interest (which, of course, will include all my columns), so that way I'll have a nice electronic format for them, and I won't have to worry about them disintegrating. While the writings are funny/disgusting/irreverant (at least, they're _meant_ to be), they still feel very personal to me, and are from an important time in my life, and I'm happy to share them. A few notes:
* A lot of the language and potential pictures (I'm not doing scans, but will try and find the same images I used for clip art back then) are very much NSFW(Not Safe For Work). You have been warned. * I've prefaced articles so you have an idea about the context in which it was written (italicized at the top). * Much of the humor takes the form of (extremely) inside jokes. I've tried to footnote things that would make no sense otherwise, and hopefully I'll be able to flesh these out even further as time permits. * Names have been shortened to protect the innocent. No last names, unless someone contacts me and wants their full name restored to bylines or footnotes. If you want to be removed completely, I can do that too... just let me know. * Posts are dated the day the issue they're from was published. I'm going to try and add in chronological order. I only have a few articles up right now, and they're probably the ones I'm the least proud of, but it will get better, I promise. * I have absolutely nothing to do with the current incarnation of The Medium. From what I've skimmed, they've gone even further down the pointless nudity route. I only include the links so you can see how much nicer it would have been if we had the all-digital publishing that they apparently do now, instead of printing out our pages from Pagemaker and gluing it onto boards.
Astute visitors will see I've put a link and a list of recent additions (right now there's only 3) in the right-hand sidebar on the homepage. For those of you who didn't see, the link is below. Enjoy!
