I'm sitting here in Seattle at Sea-Tac International Airport waiting for my shuttle bus and I thought I'd roll out a random post for you. Well first, normally I'm a fan of San Francisco International Airport. It's nice looking, easy to get to on BART, and all around an ok experience. My problem with them is their lack of Internet, or more specifically, FREE Internet. I don't travel a ton, but SFO is...

The story below is very reminiscent of a story that Michael Lewis tells in The New, New Thing about how entrepreneur Jim Clark learned to fly. Possible lesson: impatience and quick learning may not be traits of all high...

I spent a long weekend at Dartmouth visiting my daughter Deborah. On Saturday night she played in the fall concert of the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra . The concert featured Shostakovich's deeply disturbing Cello Concerto No. 1 and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. It was a terrific concert, conducted with style by Anthony Princiotti. (Princiotti's program notes are accessible in PDF here .) My classmate...

Though not filmed here, The Blind Side premiered at the old Prytania Theatre last week with several local connections. Newman grad Michael Lewis (Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, etc.) wrote the true story a few years ago about an underprivileged kid being [...]

Good morning to you all, I'm here and I suppose I need to be laughed at just a little bit. I was confident all week and I did nothing but talk up my Niners and how they would win. My gut was wrong, which, and not to brag here, doesn't happen a lot. The 49ers came out and played themselves a sorry game fraught with bad decisions and bad play. The team forgot how to tackle, Alex forgot how to throw and...

In what seems like a shocking move these days, I completed a book that i read for pleasure, Why England Lose by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. The book is an attempt to apply some of the principles of the book, Moneyball by Michael Lewis, (a book which made our top 7 books of 2007 with the review that it's 'A fascinating, highly entertaining but flawed business book about baseball. It is dripping...

I knew the material that is the source of The Blind Side since I had quickly consumed the Michael Lewis book when it was released. I was late to the cult of Moneyball and had caught up with his work. The thing about The Blind Side was that it was fascinating on some levels and completely unfocused in others. It kinda wanted to be the football version of Moneyball, thus the subtitle "Evolution...

Wis. - If it seemed like Michael Lewis was running all over the place on defense for the 49ers, it's because he was. The strong safety had a game-high 11 tackles, 10 of them solo. For a player whose career appeared to be in jeopardy when he sustained his...
