I Voted Today

February 5th, 2008 · Comments

I voted today! It’s such a refreshing feeling.
I was very disappointed, however, that they didn’t have any stickers saying “I Voted Today,” so I went over to Aviary (launching tonight at the NY Tech Meetup) and made myself a badge for my blog.
You can get the code for this badge (and search for your polling [...]

Where do I vote?

February 5th, 2008 · Comments

When it comes down to it, knowing where to vote is one of the biggest hurdles to voting. As soon as you find out that your voting location is right across the street, you have no excuse. 15 minutes (and an affidavid, if you’re not registered) later, you’ve just voted.

Leadership Flavors: Obama & Edwards vs. Clinton

January 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Fred Wilsons post called “Executives vs Leaders” got me thinking about my senior honors thesis called “Signs of Leadership.”

January 2nd, 2008 · Comments

This is just too funny. Assuming he doesn’t get the nomination (which could happen, folks) I think Joe Biden is the best VP choice.

Video Wheaties: Warren Buffet Shakes Things Up

October 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment

This NBC story is about one of my favorite people in the world: the smart, savvy, and sensible billionaire, Warren Buffet.
Here, Tom Brokaw goes out to Omaha to hear about “the Oracle’s” latest crusade: trying to get congress to raise his tax rate relative to his (poorer) employees’ tax rates (he couldn’t find one person [...]
