Last Thursday, I went to the SWE Industry Day at the Orrington. I went mainly as a fishing expedition to see what is out there and not out of any wild desire to work for one of the companies there. Plus, I had already gotten the suit out to wear to the opera […]
El and I went to the Lyric Opera tonight to see Cavalerria Rusticana and Pagliacci. It was my first time at the opera so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. “I just hope the opera snobs don’t look down on me,” I kept telling her in the weeks building up (she’s been […]

Yahoo! News - Populist Historian Ambrose Dies
I met Stephen Ambrose when he came to my high school to talk about the Lewis and Clark expedition. His lecture was so accessible and entertaining that even the usual slackers and rowdies in the class remembered it.
We wanted to get a brief interview with him for the […]
On Friday afternoon, Adam called. “What are you doing tonight? Don’t tell me something lame.” See, Adam has been all about The Transporter ever since September, when it was supposed to be released. When I told him it had been pushed to October, the resulting cry from him was truly heartbreaking.
