Mark Helprin: wonderful author, total tool
“Winter’s Tale” is my second favorite novel of all time. And Mark Helprin‘s other novels are wonderful, too. But I hate loving his work when the guy is such a, well… dick. I’ve known forever that we held different political … Continue reading
Seth Godin: the new Andy Rooney?
I have mixed feelings about Seth Godin. On the one hand, he’s clearly a very smart, funny, creative guy with lots of good ideas about media, technology, marketing and social systems. On the other (and he has this in common … Continue reading
And this one doesn’t count
I haven’t blogged much recently. Partly I blame WordPress crashing a few times and being busier at work than normal. Partly I blame the self-censoring mini-me who lives in my brain. Partly I blame not really having a theme. Not … Continue reading
We are now, all of us, officially going to Hell
I don’t want to link to the thing I’m going to tell you about. Sorry, but it’s horrifyingly bad. If you want to seek it out, that’s fine. There’s probably enough clues here. Anyway… I’d seen an ad for a … Continue reading

Halloween scare… SOCIALISM! BOO!
John McCain is turning Barack Obama’s, “Spread the wealth around” statement to the omnipresent Joe the Plumber into a scary tale of socialism on the prowl. Socialism! The ads for McCain cry. Obama’s a socialist! He wants to take money … Continue reading
I feel as if I should write
It’s been a long time. But I just don’t have anything to say. Which is about the least interesting way to start a blog post I can think of. I mean… I have things I *could* say, certainly… 1) I’m … Continue reading
Mad Stupid
So I downloaded the free trial of “Spore: Creature Creator.” I’ve been drooling in anticipation of the full game of “Spore” now for… I don’t know, Will… how long? 3 years? 5? Something like that. Anyway… played this little mini-preview … Continue reading
Comment imbalance
I had an interesting epiphany a day or two ago, based on a couple notions: I blog more when I get comments. Which makes perfect sense, and the writing might either be in reference to a comment, or just make … Continue reading
