He rolled over, uncertain as to whether the holly bush in his side or spider bite on his ankle roused his clouded self. “Not again,” he tought, as the first few rays of light darted between the branches. Being early November, it was brisk and damp under the tree where he finally settled the previous evening, ok, earlier that morning, but he never noticed the weather, and not because he...

Education as Economic Development
From today’s Paul Krugman column in the NYT:
“Beyond that, we need to wake up and realize that one of the keys to our nation’s historic success is now a wasting asset. Education made America great; neglect of education can reverse the process.”
Krugman talks about how jobs in the education industry (ie-teachers and those that support said teaching) are diminishing at a rapid...

I just realized that I collect keys.
Unpacking my desk, I realized that I have a tendency to save keys from different points in my life. I have the key to the storage shed that held 50lb bags of lime and the chalk machines used to line baseball fields in a sleepy Baltimore neighborhood. This was my first job, circa age 14. For some reason I also have the key to the garage at my first house in Ann Arbor. Even though I hated living in...

Mundane AutoTune
Amongst many things discussed as the Braves thoroughly dismissed the Mets 6-0 (Laroche goes 4-4 with 2HR), the most important involved retiring the use of the AutoTune in music and using it for everyday situations like the PA at the Braves game or the announcements on MARTA trains. Where else would you like to see it used?

Egomaniacs for Mayor
Using Wordle, I created completely unscientific word clouds using the text from each of the 3 major Mayoral candidate’s homepages. Kind of interesting if you disregard the difference in content strategy.

Why does Powerbar use genetic veggies/herb?
I used to share an office with MassGames at a company that marketed this male body spray type stuff that smelled like what I assume a roomful of date rapists smells like. We had these rear-view-mirror air fresheners that smelled like Pi Sigma Douchebag and used to hide them in desks in other offices when someone went to lunch. We would then wait for an IM from the poor bastards who we hit...
Lampoon or remain civil? For once, I chose the...
I stopped by a yard sale yesterday where 4 or 5 women in their mid-20s were disposing of nothing particularly exceptional, but one thing caught my eye. On the ground, next to the 3 year old all-in-one printer was a copy of “LA Candy” by one Lauren Conrad and what I can only assume to be the saddest, most down-on-his/her-luck ghostwriter. I thought how to approach this for probably...
Advantage Nadal
Rafa gives on-court interview AND signs autographs even after Del Potro crushes him 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.
Action: Hand over heart.

Poached Chicken Breasts →
I just used this recipe to poach some chicken I had forgot about. There is no way you need to let this sit for 30mins post-simmer. I pulled it out of the broth after 13 minutes and it’s a little dry.
Early reminiscing
I can’t wait to see my friend Alex when his band rolls through Atlanta on 9/28. We’ll probably talk about tennis and sandwiches! Yay Life!

From an email to a friend about the first night of tour:
We played in a shitty “cafe” in the basement of a CASTLE on campus, wherein 60-70 Jewish kids MOSHED to Pains and we ate pizza bagels. Then we went to a house party at some...

Post-Labor Day Apparel Etiquette
Can I still wear white jeans after labor day? I was under the impression this rule only applies to shoes. And I actually think this is a stupid tradition, but the last thing I want to look like is a tourist. Or a philistine.
Things Get Awesome
I made this mix for a friend who is currently going through a rough time, but I liked it enough to put it on the internets. I told my friend I was going to make the “sunniest fucking mix I can come up with.” I’m not sure if this is entirely true, but it is certainly the “sunniest fucking mix I could come up with on the afternoon of 9 September 2009.” Enjoy!

Last Night's Beautiful Mistake
For dessert last night, I mixed about a tablespoon of natural, chunky peanut butter with plain yogurt and some raisins. Seeing that this is Atlanta and cold things become warm things quickly, it’s temperature rose while I was capitivated with Nadal’s match on the old TV box. So I put it in the freezer to cool it down, only intending to subject it to such extreme temperatures for an...
