Hemp Planting on the DEA lawn...

(Photo by VoteHemp.com)

Two farmers, two activists, a clothing designer, and a soapmaker.

Kudos to these six brave leaders of the hemp industry in the United States for driving up to the lawn of the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency) in Virginia and planting hemp seeds.

They did this to make a statement about the fact that the USA is still the only industrialized nation to prohibit the growing of industrial hemp.

The six men were swiftly arrested by police, but not before snapping some excellent pix and shooting a short video commemorating the historic event. See them HERE.

The Washington Post did a great job capturing the event in a big article that came out today. You can read it HERE.

Super stuff.

Good News, Friends...

On Monday, September 21st, 2009 at 2:52pm, my sweet wife Alexandra gave birth to our sweet daughter Talula Anne Soiferman (we call her "Lulu" for short). 7lbs and a few ounces. Her Hebrew name is Feigeh Rivke Lulav.

Mom n' baby gal are doing wonderfully!

Send telepathic diaper changes anytime!

Love to all from Montreal!

eGuiders featured on Blip.tv

Here's my old NYU buddy Marc Ostrick featured in a big new video interview on Blip.tv. The interview has Marc talking about his new project eGuiders.com, a site that brings the finest web videos, handpicked by media mavens, right to your digital doorstep.


I'm one of the core eGuiders on the site so you can be sure I dig what's going on over there. I think you might too. Have a peek.

Enjoy the video!

From my Twin Towers files... "New ol' New York"

(Click pic quick for juicy view)

I created this photo/poem montage not long after 9/11.

When I lived in NYC (91-95) I used to take walks down to the Twin Towers and go to the observatory at the top to see the city from the perspective of a drop of water in the clouds. It was a great way to humble oneself.

I also used to photograph the Twin Towers regularly, doing that had a bit of the opposite effect. So grand and photogenic were those buildings, one would think he or she was just maybe the very best photographer in the world.

Alexandra and I are expecting a baby any day now. At a party recently someone said, "Yikes, I hope it's not born on September 11th!" Someone else cut in, "Actually, I think that would be the most beautiful thing. That day needs more souls."

I leave you with that as I head out on a jog on this special day.

Enjoy the poem and pix above.

Go, go, go...

Yesterday's thought...

Just like trees tall...

May you grow, as rain may fall
With shoots and roots
Just like trees tall

Doin' pine in 2009

(Pine Tree Branch, 7/09, Laurentian Mountains, by Ezra S.)

Every time it rains and we complain,
Another sunny day disappears down the road

Hard to prove
But I have a hunch

Summer on,
