Congratulations, we’ve reached the end of the boring week-long “2008 in Review” blogs. Coming soon: posts you might sorta, kinda care about. But first, one last bit of year’s end housekeeping to deal with. While I’m still not a huge fan of new year resolutions, last year’s list helped me focus throughout the year, so [...]

After reading over 55 books in 2007, 61 in 2006, and 37 in 2005, I’m rather aware that this year has seen a significant drop in my reading habits. I blame the months I spent studying for the LSAT every night, the cross-country move, and the recent poverty. I expect the next three years of [...]

As we move into the final week of 2008, I’ll be publishing a series of posts this week summarizing my year. I find that I don’t much like the “top ten” format that I used so often in my journalism days, so instead you’ll be getting comprehensive lists of things like places I’ve traveled, books [...]
