Long form essays that really aren't afraid to engage with an idea. Also, you should check out the personals section, as they are a lesson in wit.

And obviously http://www.nybooks.com/ , too.

Disclaimer: This is my site. It's about as underground as it gets, considering only myself and a few of my friends use it. I stick things here that I find interesting, so you'll enjoy it if you have the same tastes as I do ;) Feel free to post anything you like as well, if you care to.

Yeah -- not really sure why we had the outage, and we may go down again tomorrow to figure out what went wrong -- we are running in debug mode right now, so it might be slower than it should be.

Now that it is back up I am impressed! I was able to see it a while back- when it was hosted on your local box- but now, all I can say is great work. I hope you fixed the code injection bug I had informed you of back then ;).

Thanks! I think we fixed it, but if we haven't -- privately message me? :P

"I don't know how he does it" I think you've answered your own question there: "Charlie Rose is a great interviewer, and actually lets people express their full opinion on a subject without cutting them off." Everyone loves being really listened to.

Because we're self-centered pricks by nature.
