Good Grief!

It used to be a favorite ritual:  get up early, go to the gym, hope that the City Paper delivery guy shows up before the end of my workout, snag a paper on the way out, and read I Love You, I Hate You over a bowl of shredded cinnamon mini-wheats.  But now it’s all […]

The Market Report is a weekly column written by Ken Klein of Klein’s Supermarket in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood.  He writes the column for the Art Museum Area News and kindly allows me to post it here.  The report is a fascinating look at the forces that drive the quality and price of our food; if […]

According to the exercises in What Color is My Parachute, my destiny in life is to be a cult leader.  This career path has many advantages over my current position in the soulless office park:

Work from home:  Through the wonders of the interweb, I can preach in my PJs.
Travel:  I’ll hold quarterly cult conferences […]

Some long overdue props to everyone who leaves comments here.  To reiterate: you all are hot, witty, and entertaining, and this humble weblog would not be the same without you.

He likes us to keep abreast of the Business Intelligence field by reading websites, trade rags, and whatever else we can get our hands on. Last year I got him to buy copies of Michael Lewis’s Moneyball for the entire team because, hey, we can all learn from Billy Beane’s innovative use of data. Unfortunately, […]

To lighten the mood, a few tracks from the Wired Creative Commons CD and some fun mashups, my new favorite music genre.

Ultra 396 – Beastie Boys versus Dandy Warhols: Intergalactic Friends [via Stereogum]
Goddam Guest – Beastie Boys versus Beatles: Pass the Word [via said the gramophone]
Philly’s own Jay-Zeezer – Jay-Z versus Nena [via […]

Having a polling place across the street is ever so convenient because you can monitor the status of the line and take secret weblog pictures from the living room window.
2004 is the first time I’ve voted in person since moving to my current apartment, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. In line:

These past few months have been great. I’m sure that fellow influential bloggers, single female voters, and swing state residents will agree that lots of people have been vying for our attention. Alas, as of today, we are no longer in the spotlight.
Men. You rock their vote, and they never […]
