Much respect, Page. Much respect, Brin.

In case anyone is interested in Cursive…

01 Mar 2009

I’m still getting a feel for my readership, so you’ll forgive me if this offends your sensibilities, but it’s worth mentioning regardless of musical taste: Cursive is offering their new LP, Mama, I’m Swollen for just one dollar, for one day only (today).

James Surowiecki will not be watching Jerry Seinfeld’s new TV show

28 Feb 2009

I’m sorry, Jerry, but, much as I loved Bee Movie, I don’t have time for film and television anymore. I’m far too busy working on the project that has become my lifeblood — the Surowieckipedia. For decades, people have asked me questions about myself — how I’m doing, where I’m from, where I went to [...]

This, naturally, leads me to dwell upon the scents I encounter during my flâneur, and, of late, I have noticed a preponderance of maple in [...]

Steve Coll has a hunch where Osama Bin Laden is hiding

23 Feb 2009

It’s not actually a hunch. I know exactly where Osama Bin Laden is hiding. He’s under my desk. I’ve had him since August, and I was waiting for Pres. Obama to take office, just to give him a little boost to start his presidency. (Actual post (note: the title is a bit misleading, as Coll [...]

Now That You Kind of Miss Year-End Lists

17 Jan 2009

So I avoided being bogged down in the mess of best-of-2008 lists that appeared last month, and now I’m ready to give the world what it wants. These are merely albums that I dug this year, or meant something to me, or are attempts to make me look cool; I make no claims of being [...]
