I just ran for Congress, was on reality TV, was once a brand manager, and have worked at various startups. I'm still figuring out what's next...

Now that life has returned to semi-normalcy, I’m going to start what was my vision from the beginning: a post every weekday. I’m going to need you guys to be sending me those interesting articles and links through email and myspace so I have something to write about!
Simply: go see it. It’s good. The book version of The Namesake is an all-time favorite. When I first discovered it years ago, I stayed up all night and read the book cover to cover. I was tired the next day, but energized and moved by what I had just read. The book had this [...]
(Updated with new information from AMD 4/9/07) This post started as I thought about my pathetic AMD stock. I’ve come to learn that everyone in the world right now seems to hate AMD and the stock. Or at least this is true if you believe the stock market reflects public sentiment on the future of [...]
A future post will discuss my newfound hatred for Cincinnati’s Busken bakery. This post is all about the love. The love for Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s keeps me from starving.

Go see it! If you liked Braveheart and Gladiator you’ll certainly appreciate this very simple, stunning movie.
I’m not a huge fan of Bono. And I mean that honestly– I like the guy, and U2, but I’m not one of his gushing fans. But Shakes is, and I read his blog (well, I read it when he’s not writing about a terribly-edited-version-of-me!). He highlights an excellent video of Bono giving a speech [...]
I know the posts on this blog are typically pretty serious. But I thought I would share something dear to my heart. Food. Now, it’s not that I cook. Because I don’t. I think for the last 3 years or so 98% of my meals have been prepared by some combination of Wendy’s, Skyline Chili, [...]
