A large part of it is going to be immersing myself in the culture. I listen to music all day at work so I’ve decided it makes sense to listen to French music. I don’t know any French bands (other than Phoenix, but they sing in English) at all, but I bet you do. You can check out my <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/joshuajenkins">last.fm</a> profile to get a feel for what I listen to (feel free to ridicule me for my bad taste). I’m open to anything, I just want the words to be French.</p> <p>Recommendations?</p>http://debris.joshuajenkins.com/post/393192882http://debris.joshuajenkins.com/post/393192882Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:38:47 -0800musiclanguagequestion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxwgo7FtSE1qzy400o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I like doing this kind of stuff.</p>http://debris.joshuajenkins.com/post/391306894http://debris.joshuajenkins.com/post/391306894Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:23:56 -0800workwireframes<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxpts74oTm1qzy400o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Best Coast.

If you’re reading this right now, you’re reading Debris, which is my short-form, quick, public collection of whatever random thing I want you to see. The idea with <a href="http://joshuajenkins.com/articles">articles</a> is to just slow down for a minute, put some thought into what I want to say, and create an appropriate design for each article.</p> <p>I’ll be writing about things that matter to me, obviously. I’m inspired by magazine layouts and good writing, and while I’m not necessarily equipped for either, the only way to improve is to practice, right? Right.</p> <div class="columns"> <p>I hope you enjoy the ride a little bit. I have some cool plans. Ideally I’ll pump out another one every couple of weeks or so.
