PleasepleasePLEASE never let me get written about in the Wall Street Journal:

Virtual Memories Can’t Wait

Ahoy, ahoy, dear readers! Sorry about the lack of posts. I’m afraid I’m utterly swamped with that Top Companies issue of my magazine. There’s still a huge amount of work to do (writing two more major profiles and two minor ones, then laying out all the pages for production), so you won’t be hearing from [...]

Just one of the Chebabs

Back in 1995, the movie Boys filmed several scenes on the campus of St. John’s College, where I was attending grad school. I was sitting out in the quad between classes one evening with my friends. The crew was getting ready to shoot an outdoor scene with Winona Ryder. My buddy Mitch stared at the [...]

They’re strong finnishers

I have a new favorite basketball team: the Honka Espoo Playboys.
