How to Run Away From the Internet (Or Just Travel for Fun)

Mar 11, 2010 6:10am

I love traveling. Plop me in a foreign country with a map and a day or two of unscheduled time — there’s your true manifestation of contentment. But one cannot always be jetting around the universe, particularly when one spends 89% of one’s waking hours glued to a laptop and...

Opinions Are Like Assh*#s, and Are Worth About as Much

Mar 5, 2010 4:41am

I have a confession to make: Sometimes I write in a state of total rant. This is hardly a surprise to anyone who’s read this blog frequently. These rants are the definition of reactionary writing — that is, they are simply exhalations of pent-up emotion, and aren’t necessarily indicative of...

Why Settle for Lori Gottlieb’s View of Life? Live Your Own

Feb 18, 2010 5:36am

I’ve made no secret of my feelings for Lori Gottlieb. Ever since my response to her “Settle for Him Girls” piece two years ago, I’ve strapped on the view that her Atlantic article-cum-book-cum-potential-chick flick is nothing more than the fallout of a woman unhappy with her life choices, who felt...

On TV to Talk High Speed Rail

Feb 2, 2010 5:43am

Watch the latest business video at video.foxbusiness.com I hit the Fox Business studio yesterday to talk with Brian Sullivan about Obama’s plans for high speed rail.

Behold today’s guest editor for The Infrastructurist. Look mom, aren’t you glad I did that whole law school thing?...

One More on the List of ‘Terrible Vampire Movies’

Jan 13, 2010 5:49am

There are a couple types of bad movies. Well, 2 types really. There are movies that are simply bad — bad acting, bad plot, bad dialogue, bad effects, or simply an overall melange of badness that seeps through every aspect of the film. Then there are bad movies that are...

The Decade in Horror (Movies, That Is)

Jan 4, 2010 5:19am

Happy Non-2009! Congratulations on surviving with sanity (presumably) intact! O brave new year that has such capacity for craziness in’t! (With apologies to Aldous Huxley, and Shakespeare for that matter.) Given that we’ve moved on to a new decade, the editors at The Awl have been running a fascinating “End...

Sigh. Did I Mention It Was a Blog Post?

Dec 15, 2009 2:09pm

Oh well — at least I’m under Brian Williams and Katie Couric: Notable Quotable Awards for 2009: Nominees for Long Live Camelot Award UPDATE: Turns out I won this shit. At this point, nothing to do but laugh. It’s what Mary Jo would have done! (Have a blast with that one, right...

Ah Dubai, I Knew You When

Dec 2, 2009 7:02am

I traveled to Dubai earlier this year, and was astounded by the place. I never did get around to writing about it at the time, but leave it to a financial crisis to get me off my arse. So here’s a column I did for Mediaite about the arguable inevitability...
