Knife nerds
If you’re an adult knife and sharp weapons aficionado, don’t worry: You don’t have to be a native Klingon speaker to think that knife design can be elegant and utilitarian. Especially when ou make products as cool as Cold Steel. By now, you’ve all seen the Great Sword videos where a host of strangely methodical [...] -
“The Play of the Century”
Am I cheering for Argentina even though the USA (where I’m from) and Chile (where my Dad’s from) are both in the World Cup? Yes. Why? 1) I studied abroad there when Messi was still coming up as a player so I feel a vague connection. 2) They speak Spanish. 3) They have a chance [...] -
David Remnick speaks at Google
Lenin’s Tomb, David Remnick’s account of the Soviet Union’s collapse is one of my all time favorite books. Still, I rolled my eyes when I heard about Remnick’s 600 page biography of Barack Obama.

The first pub to get the treatment is Wired, and it’s going to be fantastic. Of course, Apple refuses to officially confirm or deny the iTablet’s development, which [...] -
Sotomayor, Obama, and the divide on racial politics
Poster by Favianna Rodriguez It’s altogether unsurprising that racial politics have dominated the discussion of President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Mr. Obama is the nations first Black president, and Sonia Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic to serve on the Court. The language of “inspiring stories” and “empathy”, discussions of [...] -
Sonic Youth “The Eternal” Availibe Via Matador Records’ Buy Early Get Now
I’m currently enjoying “The Eternal,” Sonic Youth’s first independent label record since the 1980′s. It’s great to hear a new record. It’s great to see the influential group supporting (and supported by) the great Matador. So far, so awesome. I’m loving it, well done. The official release date for “The Eternal” is July June 9th, [...] -
Happy 100 Days
100 Days of Fair and Balanced. Via the Nation. Fox News calling Obama a Socialist one day at a time. -
