I’m Matt. I’m 20. I go to Emerson College. I’m a Visual Media Arts: Interactive Media major. Now what does that mean? Well, it means I work with and am constantly learning more about anything from video editing and motion graphics to graphic and web design. My life, and my career as a student revolve around new media. This blog is a whole bunch of things that I may find funny, interesting, or just plain awesome. Some of it will be related to new media, and some of it will not. Either way, enjoy. more info and emailTumblr (3.0; @mattrudinski)http://blog.mattrudinski.com/My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2010-3-14): Starfucker (71) The Heavy (35) The National (33)...http://blog.mattrudinski.com/post/454060959http://blog.mattrudinski.com/post/454060959Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:08:20 -0400Stream She & Him's Volume 2 from NPR: Entire album, available to stream.
