Four days after an earthquake struck DC and the great east coast, a damn hurricane showed up. The hurricane made landfall on DC at the same time that our fantasy football draft was taking place.

I know I’m probably alone when I ask if anyone else who reads this blog has played Portal and Portal 2. The sequel is one of the best games to be made this year, and director Dan Trachtenberg has gone the extra mile and made a faux movie based on the game. This is a […]

Once the Summer of Klosterman ended, I had a chance to catch up on one of the few fiction writers I read regularly. I’ve written about Richard North Patterson books before (trust me, you can find the reviews on the blog). I had gotten it originally as an audiobook to listen to on the drive […]
