Monday (Not So) Random Ten
Ah, dear readers, we have come to this pass. I have contemplated doing a Monday, or, indeed, a Friday Random Ten many times before, but then music for which you will make fun of me always comes up in my playlist. So consider this a M/FRT in which I might hurriedly skip ahead on some [...]

So obviously this week’s Friday video is this, if by some chance you have not seen it (warning on the video — there is nudity and violence and lots of, to put it gently, problematic content): …that is a lot of Tarantino and a lot of product placement, and Gaga going on with her latest [...]

There’s a huge snowstorm in New York right now, and it’s making me wish I was still in the southern hemisphere. Ugh. Anyone having a better Friday? The Friday Video this week is a song that I’ve been a little obsessed with for the past few months — I admittedly think the TI version is [...]

Or, “Where I Crap on Mac Users,” thanks to this delightful essay pointing out the class aspirations inherent to Apple products, cost, technology, and design. Consider this your daily flame. …something that to me is so obvious that it barely needs mentioning, and yet I never see people talk about it openly: the real advantage [...]

Friday Random Ten – the Panama edition
You probably didn’t notice with all the great guest-blogging going on, but I was away for a while at the end of August and beginning of September, galavanting around Panama and Colombia. I’m still in the process of uploading the hundreds of pictures I took, but I figured FRT was a good place to throw [...]

Haven’t done one of these in a while, but here we go. Set your MP3 players to “shuffle” and post the first ten songs that come up. The Friday Video, of course, has to be Michael: 1. The Pogues – Fairytale of New York 2. Radiohead – Myxamatosis 3. Pissed Jeans – Need Smoke to [...]

Answer: A lawyer who won’t screw you. (h/t thebalcony on Twitter for that joke). Yes, it’s true, I am officially a Real Lawyer as of this past Monday, when I was admitted to the New York Bar. And I just moved into a new apartment, and it’s a long weekend, so this Friday is very [...]
