    Sorry for the late post this week. In addition to embarking on a reread of William Faulkner’s “Absalom, Absalom!” (more on that later) here’s what I read: 1. Let’s talk about eliminating tipping at restaurants. 2. This guy is the most prolific editor on Wikipedia, and has made more than 1.5 million edits across the website. 3.…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Podcasts I’m Currently Listening To

    On Monday, I started a new contract gig for a media company that’s based in Santa Monica. Because of traffic, it takes me about 2 1/2 hours to get there and about the same time to get home. I have a solid iTunes library, and I put my iPhone on shuffle in the morning to help…

    Oh man, what a week. That’s all I can say. Here’s what I read: 1. This writer played a word game based on Moby Dick when he had insomnia. His observations are fascinating. 2. A highly scientific, real-life exploration into how anyone could possibly like the rapper J. Cole. (Disclosure: I liked his latest album when…

    I used my laptop a grand total of two times this week, and I gotta say, a digital detox beyond my phone felt really great. Granted, I still read articles and surfed Facebook / Twitter on my phone. But baby steps, right? Back to your regularly scheduled programming next week. And now to the party:…

  • Link Party: 6/1-6/5

    Man oh man, this was an emotional week — and next week will be even worse. But here’s what I read: 1. The calligraphy stars on Instagram are some of my favorite accounts to follow. 2. Colson Whitehead brings up an incredible hyper-contemporary facet to “pics or it didn’t happen.” 3. This is a fascinating…

  • Link Party: 5/18-5/22

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. My favorite Mad Men series finale review. 2. Instagram is turning us all into sociopaths. 3. An inside look at Thought Catalog, which is a lot more terrible than I originally had thought or anticipated. 4. I gotta say, this article about online journalism is #duh. 5. I fully…

  • Link Party: 4/6-4/10

    I was actually really productive this week — must be the Week 2 recharge. Anyway, here’s what I read: 1. A four-in-one about how the restaurant business is reinventing food waste. My personal favorite is the photo essay about the aprons. 2. I also would like to attend the Audubon Society’s school for sick burns.…

  • Link Party: 3/16-3/20

    For it being finals week, I’ve had an incredibly productive week — I could get used to that. Here’s what I read this week: 1. A really interesting look at the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Pioneer Girl. 2. A good argument for bringing texting back. 3. A story about two data designers who…

  • Link Party: 1/5-1/9

      Here’s what I read this week: 1. Ezra Koenig is definitely going to own 2015. 2. A very interesting longform piece about the guys who founded Rap Genius. 3. People are referring to sandwiches as “homemade Subway,” which makes me really sad. 4. T.S. Eliot invented the hipster. and 5. An interesting perspective on…

  • Link Party: 12/8-12/12

    Remember last week when I said I’d be back to regularly scheduled programming? I unintentionally lied. Now that finals are over (and most of my academic commitments will be relieved by Sunday), things will be relatively back to normal on Monday. I mostly promise. Here’s what I read this week: 1. The front page of New York’s first…
