Not much to add to what I said last year.
I interviewed a couple weeks ago at a firm whose lobby overlooks the hole, and had some time to ponder it. The site is still powerful emotionally, even six years later, and I think it’ll always be emotional to some extent or another- as it should [...]

I suppose it was almost inevitable- you can study for LSATs and bar exams online, and you can invest piles of money into various law school study aids, so it was only a matter of time before someone created an online study system for the typical 1L legal curriculum.
And here it is, [...]
(Another product review offered as part of my ongoing quest to make friend’s lives better.)
Our old roomba has been dying since this spring- battery life was flaky (both because it was getting old and because there were some bad internal connections) and when it did charge it behaved really strangely (stopped and started, backed up [...]
Interesting. Gregor talked about doing a co-working cafe in Boston some time ago, and it sounded interesting then; it sounds more interesting now that it is very real in Manhattan. I no longer exactly fit the intended target market of “entrepreneurs, designers, programmers and technologists”, but I’ll certainly try to sneak down [...]
About 10 minutes after I posted yesterday, I found a great picture that I wanted to use to illustrate the post, but I’d already posted and I was lazy. Thankfully, today Simon Phipps gave me a great excuse to post the image anyway. Simon says:
[Miguel is] the lure for someone else’s trap.
The image I [...]
bad news: my antitrust class has lecture the day before Thanksgiving, instead of canceling as many profs do.
good news: the lecture has no required reading and isn’t really on the syllabus, so no huge impact if I skip it.
better/worse news: if I skipped it, ‘all’ I’d miss would be a guest lecture by perhaps the [...]
… but all I can think about when I see things like this and this is ‘where is the patent grant?’ Not that a patent grant is always a necessity before implementing a technology, but it is nice, and does seem particularly useful when one is potentially making oneself a much bigger target for a [...]
To wrap up what has really been a stunning weekend Krissa and I went to have a cookout at a Green Market co-worker’s house. This co-worker happens to live right behind Stone Barns, a big (new-ish) farm-focused educational center with a fairly swanky food concession. I had a great time- lots of cool Green Market [...]
I realized a few nights ago that posting about interviews for my next job, without mentioning this past summer, might have given the wrong impression about Red Hat- that I didn’t enjoy it, so I was interviewing elsewhere, or something along those lines. So here goes a quick clarification.
I really, really enjoyed working at Red [...]
Had a great time at Deblois’s show last night, and a great pre-show time too- walked the length of Central Park on a gorgeous night, and purely by accident stumbled on Caracas Arepa Bar, which is delicious.
Turns out Deblois is on youtube. Also, turns out that besides cdbaby, she’s also on emusic and itunes. Still [...]
