He had plenty...

Whatever you do, do not track down "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp" to rewatch - let it remain a fond childhood memory.

When I was a high school student at a boarding school on the range in Colorado, I wore my shorts year-round. I once was skateboarding down to the dining hall for breakfast, with snow on the ground,...

What do you mean by “globalization”?

I like the approach laid out by Ray Anderson of Interface:

Well, the good news is that they announced today out-of-the-blue that the Washington National Guard will be arriving in the islands next week with about 2000 doses, and teams of people to administer...

There's a fellow who understands marginal utility!

Reservoirs here in the San Juans are full and then some, and monitored well levels around the county look super good. The only problem really is that the ground is so saturated with water that...

I saw my Dad gamble once. We were driving through Nevada, and he put a quarter into a machine at a gas station/rest stop, and a whole pile of money poured out. "I think I'll stop while I'm ahead",...
