Treating Food Like Wine

I don’t like pineapple, melons, or kiwi. I don’t like cottage cheese, either. But I’ve tried all of them in 24 hours. Here’s why. You remember the face you used to make when you had wine as a kid? The grimace, and the way adults around you chuckled? And do you remember how you learned [...]

Media Hacks #3

Mitch, Hugh, Chris, and I got together last week at the Carnegie Deli in New York to record a Media Hacks episode during O’Reilly’s TOC Conference.

Here we go again: Finishing 52 books in 2009

They say most people read a book a year. I read a book a week; or at least, I try to. Every year, I fail, and every January, I start again. While long-time readers will know that I’ve been attempting this feat every year, you may not know that I shift the rules every time. [...]
