Whenever someone asks me who they should pitch at The Awl, I usually say try Choire first. I don’t know how that works out.

Passive House / Energy Efficiency →
abcnorio:
Passive House is the standard to which we are building the new ABC No Rio facility. The firm briefly profiled in the article, Zero Energy Design, is the outfit we hired as consultants in this area, and the engineer quoted, Jordan Goldman, is designing our HVAC system and consulting in passive house modeling. Although people seem most interested and responsive to things like the solar...

What if society collapsed tomorrow? →
In light of the death of nature, I believe that we have only three options.
The first option is to do nothing: ignore the warning signs and continue on the path of reckless consumerism. Under this model, we simply keep living our lives, building our careers and believing that everything will be fine. We place our faith in the corporations and the American way of life.
The second option is...

[No, but really, this is how transparently lame tech journos are sometimes. What better way to drum up traffic than by running a rumor saying Arrington’s talking to AOL — a great suspect for acquisition talks — during his conference? It’s part of the Arrington Buzz Machine. Otherwise, it’d be incredible, impeccable timing that this happened during his conference, and...

I didn’t tell anyone this when it happened because as soon as it did I went and drank myself blind for $20 at an honest-to-God Virginia bar that inexplicatbly still exists in NoVA and also because when it happened I didn’t know what to do, it honestly had shaken me, but not for nothing when I came home last Wednesday, on the counter in our building’s mail-nook, right where the stack of...

This is a non-italics whispery post, cause apparently people will be talking about this way too much (read: for longer than it takes to read his sentence), but, jeebus christos, major media companies hire youngs to provide cred and low margin, high-value content? STOP THE GALLAUDET PRESSES! I never thought I would come across writing that would make me want to apologize to Leon, but...

Earning It
Nate’s response to a commenter: “@hank I agree this project is focused on me. But I think, I’ve earned it. All my prior performance work prior to this was directed at entertaining and supporting YOU. Death Bear, Free Bouncy Rides, and Candy Crack were all for you. So yes, I’m taking some time to indulge myself.”

Twitter Walks →
Everyone has projects. A few months back, the artist Nate Hill began his latest, a performance work that consisted of walking up and down Broadway dressed up as a kind of negative space in white clothes and white gloves, with his face obscured in a white, beekeeperlike mask. At the same time, he posted messages on Twitter tracking the march of this character, called Mr. Dropout.
Now, on Young...

Is the Wall Street Journal’s entertainment coverage always this cutting-edge? Can’t wait for the polemic about texting at the movies!
Not to harsh on Maura (but I will), isn’t complaining about the cutting-edginess of cultural coverage from the WSJ and NYT pretty tired now? How long has this joke been made? The real shocker is expecting anything different. There are plenty of...
