I’ll be using this for demolition derby, but you can use for whatever and avoid having to provide your e-mail address.

Documents are Documents

For reasons I can’t figure out, Brandeis University is in such dire financial straights that the university has decided to sell its famed art collection housed in the Rose Art Museum.
The university is taking the line that its core mission is to educate its students, but isn’t artwork a learning tool and resource? And is [...]

Reuben Eating

I ate three Reubens in one day and two states yesterday. Each one was better than the last, with the last one probably being the second best Reuben I’ve ever eaten.

A Good of a Reason as any to have a Party

I went to the Black Cat last night to catch Aquarium and discovered the new couch. In addition to its incredible newsworthiness, the new couch reflects the posh youth (i.e., college kids) that now frequents the Red Room. Well, apparently the Black Cat feels the new couch is also a big-time development as they are [...]

One More Reason Why We Have It Better Than Our Parents

The fact is that life in a fallout shelter during the Cold War would have been terrible, in large part because the canned food would have been hardly edible. These days, though, we have all kinds of delicious gourmet canned goods, including fancy-shmancy tuna–which got me thinking along these lines. Hell, even cats these days [...]

MySpace.com Backlash

I meant to post a note about the backlash against MySpace.com, which I have written about before, in early February but I forgot. Wired, however, has not, and they include an article about the backlash and a guide for parents.
While in Orlando, I heard on CNBC that MySpace.com subscriber growth was 165,000+ per month, and [...]

A Logic Check In Time For The Presidential Elections (But Too Late For Many People)

In reading through the current issue of Foreign Affairs (July/August 2008), I came across Colin H. Kahl and William E. Odom’s When To Leave Iraq piece, which is an interesting argument for the evolution of the situation in Iraq, primarily the so-called Sunni Awakening. The idea is that the Democratic Congressional victories in November 2006 [...]

Ballet Playerness

The few ballet performances I have seen usually leaving me feeling “meh”. This past weekend, though, I saw Klyatva, which I totally dug.
p.s. Either my Googling skills are getting rusty or this ballet has no online presence because that link is the only substantive site I found.

eViting Terror into Your Inbox

People know I have intensely disliked eVite (no, they, like MySpace, are not link worthy) from Day One. Most people just chalk it up to me being crazy and a pure Internetist, but it is much more than that.
Thankfully, LW e-mailed me a NYT article that kind of lays out the reasons why “eVite sucks”. [...]
