Will Wilkinson kindly posted our video to his blog and probably drove some substantial traffic our way.
The problem with trying to make short and punchy videos is that, well, you always don’t get to make all the arguments you want and, sometimes, you don’t get to make them very [...]
Dear Dan and Brad,
I have a question for you. I was recently in your restaurant and bar with a friend of mine and I was confused as to why, on a hopping night at 9PM, your dining room would be closed. It was - after all - empty and [...]
I’m pleased to say that a short video made by Austin Bragg and me will receive a “Sammie” award from the Sam Adams Alliance. The best part: The Cubs are hosting the Cardinals earlier the same day!

He believes that the Cato Institute’s Will Wilkinson - for telling the world that he enjoys smoking marijuana - should be shot. He further suggests that Will be executed alongside 14-time Olympic Gold [...]

Kindle 2 represents a large upgrade from the first version, though I suggest that the first should have been called, “Kindle for Early Adopters.” Kindle 2 is clearly the Kindle for everyone else.
Here’s why.
The first Kindle, for reasons that defy explanation, had a charger that was a separate cable [...]
William Baker was on Charlie Rose a few weeks back. I recorded, but missed the program.
