The M.O.
Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

KLRU will celebrate the finale of its
Echoes of Color Community Engagement Film Series at the
George Washington Carver Museum Tuesday evening. The event will feature an episode of
“Frontline” titled
“A Class Divided” that demonstrates how one teacher’s social experiment affected her students for the rest of their lives.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion of the impact of discrimination moderated by Dr. Edmund T. Gordon, director of the University of Texas Center for African and African American Studies.
More about the episode of “Frontline” from KLRU: “One day in 1968, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town divided her third-grade class into two groups — blue-eyed children versus brown-eyed children — to give them a daring lesson in discrimination. One day the students with blue eyes received special treatment like extended recess and extra praise. The next day the brown-eyed students received the special treatment. The groups were not allowed to interact with each other during this experiment. The riveting classic documentary “A Class Divided” shows the lasting impact on the children and its enduring power nearly 40 years later.”
