Profile
In my Culturite incarnation, I blog regularly about music, art, design, fashion, film, photography, trends and new media. Most of my lengthier text-based posts can be found here on WordPress, but I frequently post a selection of images, video, and audio to culturite.tumblr.com
Here’s a more ‘official’ bio:

Hello Jarrett,

Hey Jarrett,
As a musician and someone interested media issues I wanted to bring the new site http://www.indabamusic.com to your attention. It launched in February and is both an online collaboration platform and a free online production console that is pretty robust. I thought you might be interested in checking out the site and possibly including it in your blog as I think your reader would be interested in hearing your opinion of this direction of social/music media. Indaba allows you to collaborate with musicians from around the world on tracks in real time together! Check it out!
Thanks, let me know if you have any questions,
Kate

Thanks Kate, I’ve actually just learned about Indaba this week from AZ site editor David Cohn – and I think it would be great for us to do some further coverage of the site for Assignment Zero. Keep in touch! jarrett.newassignment@gmail.com

I just saw (DVD) the film There Will Be Blood. DDL is a great actor… but the film is so looong and boring. I was hoping that it would get better, so I watched it unitl the end. Wrong!
Must admit though, good acting on his part. Enough to to get the Oscar?
P.S. Enjoy reading your articles. Smart and sexy too!
