Well, Not Quite Always.

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Mark Thoma agrees with Brad DeLong that it is always a mistake to surf over to NRO, sighting a really bad piece about the Phillips Curve as reason. Largely, I have to agree with him, but I have to make a small exception for friend and former colleague Bret Jacobson as well as Commentator […]

Dear Inactivist(s),

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Hey, I know you’ve been going through some troubling server stress recently, and that Inactivist.org has been down for several days at least, maybe longer.

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I am currently upgrading to Wordpress because, although I bought MT a year and a half ago, I don’t really like it. Archive will be available after I import it all. Carry On.

Memo:

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

From: OHE
Subject: National Review MT
Buzz,

Unsolicited Advice

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

I’ve been in my current position at the bank for a little bit less than a year now. I started Nov 15, 2004. Generally it’s great, I love the folks I work with, and I get to look at/play with fairly interesting numbers all day. My boss has said he’s impressed with […]

Beutler Is A Name Dropper

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

William Beutler: So, I just got off the phone with Glenn Reynolds.
Me: Yeah?
Bill: Talked to him for about a half an hour.
Me: He pretty personable?
Bill: Oh yeah. Very friendly guy. Had to change phones at the start, because it would be easier to talk without Jimmy Neutron in the background.
So there you have it, […]
