Shellpile: May 2009
http://shellpile.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Monday, May 25, 2009. Was this my town's version of Grey Gardens? And nobody's building on spec in this market. Is there a reason they've fallen in love with it? I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out, and I do wonder: would they mind if I one day knocked on the door and asked to come in? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Shellpile: October 2010

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Friday, October 22, 2010. What's in that black disc, and why does it sing? As we move farther and farther away from that actual tactile, physical representation of recorded sound, I wonder if the disc will become as exotic as it was when first introduced. Eventually, will children wonder at the miracle of sound coming of...

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. The perils of PC-ness. In my previous life, the holiday season was always a bit of a perilous time of year. It was my responsibility to write a year-end message from company leaders to their employees. The holiday message brought all of that to a head. We had a small staff in China, and they'd be ...

Shellpile: January 2009
http://shellpile.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Monday, January 12, 2009. Yammering, twittering, whatver it is: for a society so concerned about being watched, we’re certainly making it easy. The explosion of social networking websites offers you the chance of using virtually any communications technology to update your 'status' line anywhere you are. One is especially pr...

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Thursday, November 11, 2010. Every year, the people at Rockefeller Center pick the massive evergreen that will grace the plaza for the Christmas season, and I'm reminded of the big tree that stood in the front yard of my childhood home. Mom and Dad dismissed the idea out of hand: the tree's branches were sparse in patches, m...

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Friday, November 12, 2010. The curse of the accordion. Q: What's the definition of a gentleman? A: A man who knows how to play the accordion, yet doesn't. I have two accordions in my apartment. I'm not proud of this fact, yet it is so. How did this happen, you ask? Well, it's a long story. Songs would work particularly well ...

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Wednesday, December 08, 2010. We all shine on. Hard to believe it's been 30 years since John Lennon died. Somehow it seems odd that I've had more years on earth than he did. Today's New York Times. Before I could figure it out, before the camera went to closeups, the dream dissolved. As his death came to prove, sometimes the...

A very, very odd place in a very remote part of the most densely populated state in the United States. Shellpile is a community, and a state of mind. And a very large pile of shells. Thursday, October 14, 2010. As the world rejoices the rescue of the 33 trapped Chilean miners, the cynical part of me wonders how their experience will ultimately be trivialized by corporate America. So how does the miner story apply to corporate life? What did they have that corporate meeting-goers wouldn't? Subscribe to: P...
