Was (Not Was) has a new album out and it’s good. DAMN good. This is the best place to keep track of the band I’ve found so far.
Courierware Messenger Bags →
It’s time to get a new laptop bag and I was psyched to see these folks are still in business. I got one of their bags as a high school graduation present and that bad boy lasted me a good 10 years or so. When I moved to Texas and needed to get a new bag I just grabbed something off the shelf at a store and I’ve had a series of bags that never matched up since. Now I going back to one...

Philip Roth: The Friars Club Roast →
I didn’t think I’d find this funny but after being forced to read Roth for a year straight for college I have reserved a special place for him in my heart. Wait - what’s that other organ? The one where you make the bile?

“You can make a lot of money this way. Of course, nobody will ever know that you are taking them, and the emotional satisfaction arises from walking into this multi-billion dollar enterprise and walking out with their money because you’re smarter and more disciplined than they are. In a bizarre way, you succeed through classical bourgeois virtues: self-discipline, frugality, ego control and...
