We’ve Taken Sides in the Johnny Weir v. Evan Lysacek War

May 3, 2010 By Joshua Kennon 1 Comment

Around the office, we discuss weighty issues - recent Supreme Court cases, appropriate regulation of derivatives, pricing of complex options trades, etc. For the past week, however, the water cooler talk has been the somewhat quasi-feud between Johnny Weir and Evan Lysacek. Unfortunately, I've gotten sucked in because as I'm reading Fortune and The Wall Street Journal, a lot of people I know and care about are (I'm sad to say) reading People, US, and the other tabloid magazines.

Gold Rimmed Coffee Cup and Saucer with Montblanc Fountain Pen

A few days ago, Aaron got a message from one of our friends, Jimmy, at about 4 in the morning.

Reducing My Technological Footprint

Though the home renovations have gotten the most headlines due to their nature (constant onslaught of choices and tasks that need to be completed), one of the most important items on the agenda of the six-month project has been to drastically reduce my digital footprint. By the end of the program, I will have one personal presence [...]

Lunch Scholars – How Much Do High School Students Know?

This makes me sick. This high school is ranked in top 5% of high schools in the United States. The worst part of the video for me was the part where the kid says, “I was never taught that knowledge”. It’s not somebody else’s job to teach you, it is your job to seek out [...]
