An Apple for the Teacher

I received this glass apple today, in appreciation for my services as a
brilliant professor a few weeks ago.
My desk is really starting to fill out with meaningful mementos. I placed
it right near my Sagamore Film Festival awards […]
I wish Jack was successful in his attempt to hide in my suitcase. I miss the little guy!

I led a discussion at my office last week on the internet and democracy. Here it is, in all its glory: Internet & Democracy.ppt
Basically, I tried to make the case that democracy is in peril, because newspapers are seeing their business models blow up. Without newspapers, who will watch the watchmen? Answer: we all will. […]
So I just rolled off a pretty busy project at work, and I’m finally catching up on my blog reading. I missed a lot!
I was checking out Manager Mom’s blog, and I was totally impressed with some of the stuff she’s been putting out. This MILF is hilarious! I clicked through (from […]
This is good stuff.
Today Now!: How To Pretend You Give A Shit About The Election
I love Scott Adams.
When it comes to picking our next president, I can’t decide if I
prefer the smooth-talking, inspirational candidate who promises to give
my money to people who don’t work as hard as I do, or the old, short,
ugly, angry guy with one good arm who graduated at the bottom of his
class and somehow managed […]
Hat tip, Manager Mom.
update: apparently Manager Mom’s hat tip needs to be revoked, and replaced with a hat tip to Always Home & Uncool
After my experience traveling into LGA over the last 3 months, I swore that I would never again take Delta into LGA. It’s ALWAYS backed up.
Then tonight, I was forced to switch back from my EWR flight. And all seemed miraculous. The flight took off on time. It was pleasant. […]
One of the hardest parts about being a father, at least so far, is realizing that I am now a role model. An extremely impressionable human being is going to watch my every move for the next 25 years,and it will affect his entire world view. Eventually, he’ll realize that his father is […]
The Stamford Times covers the story here.
“The region’s youngest and brightest business leaders were honored Thursday, June 12 at a reception for the 2008 Fairfield County 40 under 40 held at UConn Stamford.”
It’s an outrage that I wasn’t selected for the list. I’m under 40, I live in Fairfield County, and I’m […]
I’m writing this post from my Firefox browser. It’s supposed to be as simple as hitting F8, and then firing off an entry.
Seriously, if you’re not using Firefox, you’re missing out.
Update: it worked. AND, it’s easy to edit entries directly from the browser.
Go download the Scribefire plugin.
Firefox just keeps getting better and better.
I think my favorite feature is the way it asks if you want to remember a password. In the old version (and IE), you don’t know if the password works when it asks you if it should remember it! So you always hit no, and the program never gets […]
Does anyone else love this commercial?
I’m cranking pages and totally jamming out to this song in my hotel room.
Did anyone watch Meet The Press this morning?
Man oh man. It was a tear jerker.
On Friday, when I first heard of Tim Russert’s death, I can’t say that it had much of an effect on me. One of my colleagues received a text message from her sister in Washington, passing along the news […]
I just posted this flyer up and down Prospect Street. This car’s alarm has been going off since Thursday night. It’s times like this that I wish I believed in hell, so I could curse people to it.
Hopefully the flyers will attract some attention to the problem. Or perhaps the owner of this Lincoln Continental […]
This whole airline on-time thing is really starting to irritate me (in case it isn’t obvious).
The friendly pilot just announced a 40 minute delay on my flight home to LaGuardia, due to “wind conditions in New York.”
I tried a new travel strategy this week.
Normally I optimize for time at home with family. I’ll wake up at the crack of dawn and work late into the night if I can get home a day early. But the last few weeks have been grueling on my body. On Friday nights, […]
We went to Newseum on Saturday.
I saw this vest in the gift shop, and fell in love. I modeled it for Greta. She seemed to share my excitement, but soon came the inevitable, crushing question: “When will you ever wear that?”
She had a point.
Why is clothing so impractical? You would think that as we advanced […]
Last night, I tried to explain my “sleep on plane” system to my wife.
Her response: “How did you win me over? You’re a freak. You were a freak as a child. There must have been a tiny window of normal-ness when you met me.”
Baloney.
Most people on planes have a simple approach: tilt […]
Full rack

The bike rack at stamford train station was stuffed full of bikes.
I guess when it’s warm and sunny, everyone rides their bike.
I think there should be a designated rack for those of us who brave the
cold weather, too. Like elite […]
Unbelievable. A state decides that all men are, in fact, created equal, and it makes front page headlines because it’s such big news.
How can we be so righteous about racism while denying gay Americans their rights? It is shocking to me that 2 men cannot be married in this country. It’s antiquated. It’s cruel and […]
I had a crappy week, but it ended gloriously.
Starting off Monday mornings with a 4:30 am wake-up is brutal, and it doesn’t get any easier with repetition. I get in the car at 5:15 and I open my laptop. For the next 20 hours, I’m analyzing data, writing emails, scheduling meetings, or talking […]
We’re going here on November 13, with my office. It’s going to be awesome.
Apparently there are a limited number of suites available at the resort. Rather than dole them out by seniority (which would leave me and Baby Food Blog sleeping in the lobby), my firm has decided to create an elaborate point […]
