I just posted the final edition of “A Thousand Things That Piss Me Off” on Shplang. It’s the end of a list that I started compiling in the spring of last year, and to tell you the truth, I wasn’t a hundred percent sure I’d actually finish it. But now I have, and I invite […]

Paul Krugman is an economist and writer whose name seems to pop up frequently, often in some pretty surprising places. In January of 2009, for example, Rolling Stone published a piece of his called “What Obama Must Do: A Letter to the New President.” Never before, they said, had one of their writers used “I […]

This post is essentially a test. If you’re not into blogs or social media sites or other nerdy pleasures, you can probably go ahead and skip this one. I’ve installed a plugin on this blog that posts a notice on Twitter whenever I publish new content. If I’ve done it right, then publishing this post […]

“If you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?” Young children all over the world have had to face this question whenever they’ve gotten excited about something, and they’re not alone.

Today is the twentieth anniversary of the massacre in Tiananmen Square. The Chinese government reportedly chose to commemorate the occasion by blocking public access to sites like Twitter, Hotmail, Bing, YouTube, Blogger, Tumblr, Livejournal, Flickr, Live.com and the Huffington Post.
