Welcome! Its me, Stephen Clark. This is my site and it is where I share all things fun, silly, interesting and thoughtful. I occasionally make digital bits and my resume is always an entertaining read. The site is made with care and paperclips in New Jersey, USA.
Breuer’s Starkey House, Duluth, MN In late March, my alma mater Syracuse University will be releasing the digitized archives of Marcel Breuer’s 30,000 drawings, photographs, and other materials from the early stages of his illustrious architecture and design career (at breuer.syr.edu…but the site is not up yet). Breuer achieved remarkable success as a student in [...]
There Is No Place Like Dome This past weekend, it was announced that Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh will be leaving the Big East conference and joining the ACC. My Syracuse Orange(men) are now part of the ACC. That just sounds wrong. I have taken a few days to let this sink in. [...]
A stunningly awesome photo of Carmelo Anthony dunking last night during the Knicks’ big win vs Orlando. You can see and feel the silent purity of the play – Its as if there is no one in the gym but the Knicks and the Magic, and they are playing for nothing but the love of [...]
To get in the March Madness spirit, here is a video vault from the NCAA that has full games and highlights from the past ten years of the final rounds (Sweet 16 through National Championship) of the NCAA Tournament. For all you Syracuse fans out there, here is the video of the 2003 National Championship [...]
Come on, Jimmy B, don’t let me down. Throw a wrinkle in the gameplan to throw Villanova off. That is what is going through my mind tonight as my #4 ranked Syracuse Orange take on the #8 ranked Villanova Wildcats. The anticipation for this game is rivaling the classic Georgetown games from the 1980′s and [...]
As a student and an alum, I’ve been watching my beloved Syracuse Orange(men) for close to 22 years now. I’ve never been bashful in my criticism of Jim Boeheim and I’ve also been one to acknowledge when he’s done a good job. I’ve witnessed some of the greatest games in the Carrier Dome, watched almost [...]
In a strange twist of the playoff football schedule, this coming Sunday, the 4 professional football teams from the Northeastern U.S. will be playing each other in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The Patriots will be playing the NY Jets, while the Philadelphia Eagles will be taking on the NY Giants.
I don’t usually post about my alma mater’s basketball team, but their performance this week at the Big East tournament was just too spectacular to let go without some recognition. Maybe its the Garden and its amazing ability to bring the best out of certain players and teams. Maybe its cheezy coaches polls that are [...]
About a year ago, I posted about how far Syracuse’s football program has fallen. And as the college football season begins its fifth week, the Syracuse program is following up a poor 2003 season with a pathetic 2004 season. And to reinforce my sentiments, today I saw two articles referencing Syracuse’s fall from grace. In [...]
An era has ended at my alma mater Syracuse University. The school has officially changed the nickname of the school’s athletic teams from Orangemen/Orangewomen to just plain Orange. I guess the administration wanted the school to join other institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, Cornell, and Wellesley as schools whose athletic nicknames are colors. Unfortunately, the [...]
I was listening to the 80′s Alternative station on Radio@AOL and the song “Eighties” by Killing Joke (Album: “Laugh? I Nearly Bought One”) came on. While an udergrad at Syracuse, my friends and I went to a great watering hole called Chuck’s (Hungry Charlies). Every time this song came on, this one guy whom I [...]
This weekend, I went to see the Seton Hall vs. Rutgers college basketball game at the Rutgers Athletic Center (aka “The RAC”) as a friend of mine had an extra ticket. I have not been to “The RAC” since I was in college and I saw my Syracuse Orangemen play Rutgers, and I have to [...]
