I had the pleasure to tying the knot last week, on October 7. I’m a lifelong resident of the New York area, and my fiance’s been here since her childhood, so we definitely wanted a wedding in New York. I came up with typical ideas that a clueless groom-to-be might come up with. I first […]

Bill O'Reilly and John Stewart Debate on Saturday October 6, 2012
October 5th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’m one of those strange people who’s a fan of both Bill O’Reilly and John Stewart. Liberals tend to brand Bill O’Reilly as a demagogue. Conservatives tend to brand Stewart as a socialist.

I’ve been on a housecleaning tear lately, and one of the things I started to do was throw out my old business school textbooks. I’m not sure why I still had them on my bookshelf; the books are all outdated, they’re not relevant to anything I’m doing, there is absolutely no resale value in them, […]

Two years ago in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, there was one knit hat that Team USA wore during the Opening Ceremonies that became one of the most popular posts on this blog. People were scrambling to get that darned hat, but Ralph Lauren decided that they were only going to make so many. So my […]

I work in New York City, and one ubiquitous sight I see when walking to and from work are tour buses. They come in all shapes and sizes. But the one tour bus that has always stood out has been the bright red Grey Line double-decker bus. They’ve actually been providing tours of New York […]
