#1: This series of variations on “bro.” Amazing.

#2: This list of 12 Days, 12 Ways to help the homeless, if you care. Includes such fine tips as (in so many words): “stop hoarding so much shit and give it to people who need it.”
#3: This xkcd strip.

#4: These defaced one dollar bills. Haha, indeed.

and if you don’t get it, that’s all Lady Gaga.
#5: This crazy-ass deep sea creature. Claws as Sonic weapon? Bubbles as hot as the sun?!  I mean, WTF?

By now, Charlie Kratovil is a well-known figure in the New Brunswick community. His most recent attempts to bring grassroots change and “good” to New Brunswick have been gathering a lot of support, but some criticism as well. Johnsonville Press Editor in Chief Alex Giannattasio and Editor Grace Hong sat down for a conversation with Mr. Kratovil to get the inside scoop on what he’s been up to since the end of the Wards Campaign.
What follows is the full transcription of that hour and a half conversation. Do not ask …

#1 – This search engine: TinEye.com – while it is currently in its beta stage, TinEye is showing great possibility as one of the only existing reverse image search engine. It’s pretty incredible, really.  Can’t wait until it gets huge!

#2 – This t-shirt: Human Being T-shirt available on origin68.com. The company is based in the UK, so if you want to buy this shirt, realize it’ll cost you more than you’d hope. That, and you’re shipping it to the US. Either way, it’s creative and awesome.

Happy last week of October. Hope you like rain.
There’s a lot going on this week, not the least being the introduction of our new web layout.

Once a week, the Johnsonville Press staff gets together to drink wine and discuss the business of putting out our little publication. We call it the Johnsonville Symposium. We talk about and critique each others’ articles, work out any technical issues, and keep each other up to date as to the progress we’ve made in our respective capacities. But also, in keeping with the spirit of a traditional Greek symposium, we hold a general discussion on a broad topic, usually towards the end of the night after we’ve all had plenty to drink. During last week’s discussion, I asked my staff members to pick one musical performer, group, or band that everyone should know about, that would be indispensible to you the reader as a fan of music, and to justify that selection. I wrote up my five favorite. Here’s what we came up with:

New Brunswick is home to more bodegas and corner stores than churches and public schools combined. In this series, Johnsonville photographer Brendan McInerney sheds light on the diversity of a few of these staple New Brunswick landmarks. All rights reserved by the artist. Please enjoy!

Thursday, October 8th, I attended a RUSA General Assembly meeting for the first time since Werner Born was elected Chairman last semester. For the past few weeks I had been hearing quite a bit in the virtual world about RUSA, their planned camping retreat, and the apparently high level of student malcontent that this specific event has garnered. Several articles concerning the retreat have appeared in the Targum, almost all highly commented upon.

…so please exercise that virtue while you wait for this weeks issue, as I wait for my not-yet-graduated, midterm-inundated staff. We’ll have it for you tomorrow.
Very Sincerely,
Alex Giannattasio
Editor in Chief
