Back at the beginning of the semester, I promised that by mid-October I would have “cracked this nut” with regard to economics, with the help of a course called Behavioral Economics and Strategy that I finished up this past week. Well, I’m not sure I can quite make that claim after all. But I don’tRead More

Fascinating experiment in crowdsourcing
Via PhilanTopic, the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC is running a series this month called “30 Issues in 30 Days,” looking at how Obama and McCain stack up on various questions of the day. Every Friday, one of the issues is given its own Wiki page so that show listeners (or, really, anyone) can collaborateRead More
Did you miss us?
After a hiatus of more than a year and a half, Capital M returns to the Knitting Factory Tap Bar for an all-improv show on Thursday, October 30 at 8pm. The site of Capital M’s CD release party in September 2005 as well as our second show ever, the Tap Bar is soon to beRead More
Fractured Atlas and NYC Performing Arts Spaces to Merge
Two of the coolest arts organizations I know of are about to become a single entity. Fractured Atlas, a 10-year-old national service organization providing healthcare, fiscal sponsorship, and other goodies to its members, is merging with NYC Performing Arts Spaces, a collection of online, searchable databases for rehearsal and performance venues in music, dance, andRead More
Some thoughts while wishing the election was tomorrow
It’s great to see your friends doing well. This week, the New York Times came out with a lengthy profile of Caleb Burhans, who I know from my time in New York pre-business school. Caleb’s a fantastic musician who’s pretty much at the epicenter of a vast movement of young conservatory graduates who have beenRead More
On awards for established artists
The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust has come under some criticism recently for its decision to give the first $200,000 Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award–aka the “Mimi”–to “Angels in America” creator Tony Kushner, already the recipient of a Pulitzer, an Emmy, and two Tonys. The Times story indicates that publicity is an explicit goal behindRead More
Awesome.
WASHINGTON—The National Endowment for the Arts announced Monday that it has begun construction on a $1.3 billion, 14-line lyric poem—its largest investment in the nation’s aesthetic- industrial complex since the $850 million interpretive-dance budget of 1985. “America’s metaphors have become strained beyond recognition, our nation’s verses are severely overwrought, and if one merely examines theRead More
Around the horn: Market volatility edition
This week has been an interesting one at business school. The suits and industry types have been in a somber mood, sometimes punctuated with gallows humor. There are people in our class whose full-time job offers are now officially kaput, and numerous others who have to wait longer than anticipated to learn their fate. ARead More
Thoughts on “Thoughts on Effective Philanthropy”: Lessons from my Summer Internship
As the twenty or so regular readers of this blog will note, I debuted Createquity last October with a rather brash six-episode litany of “Thoughts on Effective Philanthropy” in the realm of the arts. I say brash because, at the time, I had no experience running a philanthropic program; all I had were my outsiderRead More
Back in action
The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind as I traveled back to the East Coast and almost immediately started my second year of business school. This time around, my diet of classes consists entirely of electives, so I’ve been able to tailor my course schedule more closely to my oft-idiosyncraticRead More
