Chris Lee at Ars Technica has some harsh things to say about Elsevier's bundling policy and the quality of their journals: If the quality of a journal falls, or is filled with pseudoscientific garbage, subscriptions will be cancelled. In this case, libraries will need to start analyzing usage patterns more carefully. Has anyone downloaded a paper from Chaos, Fractals, and Solitons since it turned into...

Diner’s Journal, seeking to preserve Florence Fabricant’s big scoop, announced today that Gilt chef Chris Lee is leaving to take over Aureole at the end of year. Our only question is why it took so long. Lee is one of the few chefs in town who truly excels at the kind of luxe food served [...]

Perhaps Ovation is responding to the concern that the word "designer" has become too generic, too all-meaning, too, well, popular. Reframing our profession tonight then, get your television fill of Yves Behar and Chris Lee on Ovation's "Designer People." This may be helpful to the industry actually: "Who designs designer watches, or designer handbags, or designer sunglasses?" Well, designer people,...

Chris Lee and his political cronies have plunged a knife into the heart of our democracy by engaging in voter suppression and denying Western New Yorkers their right to vote for...
