  • Link Party: 10/24-10/28

    My freelance life has completely consumed the rest of my life lately, which is both a good and bad thing. October was one of the busiest months I’ve ever had, and I’m looking forward to a slower-paced November. Here’s what I read this week: 1. Hillary Clinton and the populist revolt. 2. Bill Clinton and…

  • Link Party: 1/11-1/15

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. On Sunday at 11:30 p.m. I got a New York Times notification that David Bowie had died, which left me feeling empty as I tried to sleep and gutted at the beginning of the week. I remember the very first time and the very first Bowie song I listened…

  • Link Party: 1/4-1/8

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. An abridged history of red lipstick. 2. I did not know that private, off-the-record briefings between Barack Obama and media members were a thing, but now I’m glad I do. 3. The parallels between web design and architecture. 4. The deep space of digital reading. 5. The second-season title…

  • Link Party: 12/21-12/25

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I first heard excerpts of Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold” on This American Life in an episode for Sinatra’s 100th birthday, and the full article is stellar. 2. What the Mast Brothers chocolate scandal tells us about ourselves. 3. I’m not entirely sold on the merits of…

  • Link Party: 12/14-12/18

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Meet the stylist with an insane vintage clothing collection that Kanye West and Rihanna like to borrow. 2. I cosign this Album of the Year nomination for the “Hamilton” soundtrack. 3. I don’t usually read a lot of sports journalism, but this personal essay about childhood abuse from a…

  • 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: 5/4-5/8

    I’m very, very sorry that I’ve been MIA this week. I have to tell you, it’s been a rough quarter in terms of scheduling: I don’t get home most weeknights until 6:30 or 7 p.m., and by then my brain is mush. But I have a lot of ideas for posts next week, and things…

  • Link Party: 3/9-3/13

    A brief bit of unsolicited advice before I get to the link party: I just want to tell all of you that there is absolutely nothing that limits you from teaching yourself whatever you’re interested in and seeking out additional educational avenues. I wasn’t getting the writing experience I wanted from my academic classes or my job, so…

  • Link Party: 12/15-12/19

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. The Académie française says to knock it off with the LOLs. 2. One of my favorite tech writers keeps getting Amazon emails that aren’t for him. 3. The best essay I read about the ramifications of the Sony hack. 4. There’s a real life Newman running around in…

  • 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…
