Barrett's Blog: Sticks and stones
http://bwslog.blogspot.com/2008/06/sticks-and-stones.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. What an age we live in, huh? Not only can trained medical professionals send a calculated dose of electromagnetic radiation through my body, revealing the bones beneath my flesh, but I can possess a small, omnipresent camera with which to photograph said revealed bones. This morning, when nurses removed the bandages to take out a small drain that had been in place since surgery, was the first time I saw the surgical wound. It was also the first time I have ever been nauseous.

Barrett's Blog: Market Talk
http://bwslog.blogspot.com/2008/11/market-talk.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. I think we're close to the bottom. If you work on the assumption that the growth of the first period was more rational and sustainable over the long run, and the growth of the second period was mere froth, then you'd expect the market to collapse until it was roughly back in line with the long-term growth average consistent with the first period. The market closed in that range several days last week. Does that mean we've hit the bottom? I think the answer is yes, more or less&...

Barrett's Blog: August 2007

Thursday, August 30, 2007. It's no secret that I'm a fan of long titles in art. It's not the length in and of itself that is attractive to me, but the potential for a long title to transcend its being, its telos. And become something more. To become, in short, a story in itself. An upcoming movie with Benicio del Toro and Halle Berry called Things We Lost in the Fire. From what little I know about the film, I have no desire to see it; I've never liked Halle Berry much, and domestic turbulence is so.

Wednesday, September 05, 2007. A new article, this time in Stanford Magazine, about Brian Wansink's research on the psychology of eating. He's a fascinating man and passionate about his subject. Read the article to find out why we eat more M M's when they're sorted by color, or get drunker faster with short, wide glasses. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Songs i'm listening to.

Wednesday, March 12, 2008. I'm thinking of declaring email bankruptcy. Lawrence Lessig did this. A few years back when his unread message pile grew beyond a certain point. He simply hit the "Mark all as read" button and called it a day. I'm up to 376 unread messages. It might be time for drastic action. Friday, March 07, 2008. John Cusack came up, and someone told us that he's a total sleazeball, and a womanizer. I said, "Yeah, and he'll just Say Anything.". Read into it what you will.

Crooked Spectacles: August 2007

Thursday, August 23, 2007. I apologize, fair readers, for my extended absence. [Editor's note: I am well aware that the longevity of my stint on the disabled list has, in all likelihood, depleted my readership to. well, just myself.] I've been putting off posting until I had something (anything! Of intrigue to report. But alas, as my (f)unemployment drags on, I've come to the realization that intrigue may be a while off yet. So let's catch you up to my goings-on, shall we? Yeah, I thought not.).

Le cooking and le lifestyle. View my complete profile. Crust awww, shoooot. Saturday, September 15, 2007. Crust awww, shoooot. So le boy's mom sent me the following directions for tart crust:. Almost a glass full of water. Mix into a ball. after a few tries, you'll figure out how it's supposed to be. I tried it out, and I didn't fail miserably. The resulting tomato tart didn't taste delicious, or even very good, but it's a learning process, I suppose. Friday, September 07, 2007. It's been awhile, nu.

Barrett's Blog: December 2007

Monday, December 10, 2007. I have some new responsibilities at Newsweek, and part of them entail developing web-only content to help build the site. My biggest foray to date just went online. It's a photo gallery about how organized crime both benefits from and is challenged by globalization. Just like traditional businesses. It's tied to a story by Christian Caryl in this week's magazine, on the yakuza's "corporate restructuring.". Sunday, December 09, 2007. In the spirit of Santarchy." And so it was.
