Live and Otherwise: Spring Soundtrack

Judging by the warming sunshine and the smell of spring flowers in the air, spring is upon us. So while the air conditioners are slowly being activated across the city, the hay fever of springtime music mania has also begun.

Piece of Craft: The Collage

I’m a sucker for a good collage. It’s the type of project that is just simple enough since there aren’t many materials, but when done right, can turn out amazing.  All you really need to create a good collage are glue, scissors and whatever materials you want to use.  Typically, the materials are any sort of paper, including tissue paper, newspaper and pieces of magazines or books.  You can also use other items in your collage such as ribbon, metal pieces (bottle caps or coins), or fragments of other items.  Personally, I like to stick with paper mediums.  Creating a collage just using paper allows the crafter to layer the materials, fit them together like a puzzle, or even decoupage. Right now I’m in the process of finishing up a college on canvas.  I have been using the covers of some of the latest issues (or whatever ones I have lying around my house) of the Phoenix New Times.  For this particular collage, I have cut and placed the magazine covers in different angles and shapes.  This collage is very geometric and still keeps a square shape, whereas many other collages are completely random and abstract.

Live and Otherwise: The Ice House Tavern

Local supporting local: There never was a sweeter statement. More importantly this is one of the best descriptions I can give of the local dive-bar treasure that is the Ice House Tavern. Located in central Phoenix, just west of Thomas Road and 40th Street, you’d never know the bar even existed without some sleuthing or recommendation via word of mouth.

Culture Undiscovered: In Defense of Burqas

On March 15, University of Chicago professor and public intellectual Martha Nussbaum came to ASU to talk about women's and human rights, a fitting topic given the current hysteria among the GOP’s presidential candidates surrounding women’s reproductive organs.

Physics in Full Swing

For ASU physics geeks (or anyone else), the campus Foucault Pendulum is a science lesson in a glass case. One writer takes a look at how it works, and the history behind it.

Turf Talk: Are You Ready for Some Football?

There are #thingsfasterthanvontaze. Ironically, Vontaze is a part of one of these things. The NFL is off for its usual hectic, attention-grabbing offseason and we ASU fans are anticipating the best for our Sun Devils entering the big Kahuna of football.
