Holiday party rating guide

2009-12-12T05:34:44Z

How to rate a holiday party: Fair. Afterwards I walk to my car, pick up some dinner, and drive home. Good. Afterwards I stumble to the train, sleep it off on the way home, and come back in the morning for my car. Excellent. After five-too-ma...

Jeff Beck

2009-12-08T03:59:38Z

Finally got around to watching the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden. Some awesome performances and pairings (Jagger and Fergie, Bruce and Bono). I've been a Jeff Beck fan since college. One of the first albums I had on v...

Being young

2009-12-04T05:42:17Z

I don't remember what precipitated this. Maybe it was my client the other evening whose 20-something daughter had just returned from two years in Zambia (Peace Corps.). She was describing her adventures there and the difficulties of working with...

I'm tired

The rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated

2009-09-14T00:14:52Z

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've tried to at least lurk through my neighbor's posts occasionally, but it's been a busy summer. Back in May I espoused two goals for myself for this year: ride 1,000 on my bicycle and do a century ride. Toda...

Perfect business model

2009-06-02T04:25:31Z

I found a great business -- Sarah's Smash Shack. Pissed off at the ex? Upset about losing a job? Really hate Pat Robertson? Here's a place you can vent your frustrations in a sound-proof room room. Smash plates, glasses, wine bottles, anythin...

Dear cat

Dear cat: I'm very flattered that you love me so much you have to be near me all the time. I appreciate the unconditional nature of your love and affection for me, but I really need to emphasize that I cannot sleep with you on my chest. Yes, yo...

This morning

2009-05-14T16:59:20Z

Fuck work. I went for a bicycle ride. It's 70 and sunny outside. On days like this, it's a crime against nature to go into the office. Had a delicious, cleansing, and emotionally satisfying ride. NOW I'm ready for the world to dump on me.

Guys (and you know who you are), when you're done using a public restroom, please please PLEASE for the love of Mike remember to flush. It's really disgusting when I walk into the bathroom at Chipotle and there's not a clean bowl. Did your mothe...

More NYC street scenes

2009-04-23T02:56:27Z

It may not be obvious on this photo, but if you look closely on the wall you'll see some hubcaps, about five floors off the ground. No fucking idea how they got there, but they amused the hell out of me. This was right across from my hotel. Wa...
