Over break, I spent most of my time rocking out to Taylor Swift with my seven-year-old brother (we like “You Belong With Me” and, of course, “Love Story”). But aside from that sad and frequent display, I cooked. I cooked a lot (want some muffins?). I have two large, lovely burns on my hand from […]
What an opportunity! In the near future, the United States government may find itself needing to print some of the money that it’s committing itself to spending but doesn’t have. At the same time, print newspapers– or, at least, print newspapers supported by subscribers and advertisers– are reducing the physical size of their product, laying […]

What ever happens, this Brandeis Judges squad has if nothing else lived up to lyrics of one of my favorite songs from The Clash, “I’m Not Down.” They’ve been beat up, they’ve been shown up but they are not down, no they are not down yet. If everything breaks right for Brian Meehan’s squad after […]
