The gravest of constitutional chemical mechanisms

07.31.2007

I have Google Alerts set up for keywords and phrases related to my new company, since it’s part of my job, as The Tick would put it, to monitor the culture. I just came across a web site that I cannot figure out. It appears to have been translated from English to another language and [...]

And Dave Wakeling!

Tomato bar!

07.23.2007

Abe and Kathleen got married Saturday night in a lovely ceremony that included the best first dance I’ve ever seen. It was a full-on hip hop extravaganza complete with rump shaking, set to a tune that everyone younger than me no doubt has playing on their iPhone at this very moment. We asked Abe how [...]
