When I walk around Times Square looking for interviewees, I purposefully look for interesting people. People with a spark in their eye, people laughing or talking animatedly, people who look deep in thought, people wearing hats – they are ALWAYS good to talk to – and people with interesting hair. The latter drew me to ...
Nothing depresses me more during the holidays that the consumerism. Not the huge meals I don’t really want to eat, not the scrabbling of family members as they jockey to get what they think they want, not even the crap weather here in NYC: none of that is as bad as the consumerism. And in ...
I recently visited the Museum of American Finance’s brand-new exhibit, “Checks & Balances: Presidents and American Finance,” which focuses on how five past American Presidents handled an assortment of financial crises. If you think our economic situation is the worst of all time, or if you think President Obama’s strategies are tactics of communist/socialist takeover, ...
I can’t be the only person who thought of this, but: The Occupy Wall Street protest in NYC happens to be taking place on the very same ground where many pivotal events in the American Revolutionary War took place.

Recently, I went on vacation to one of my absolute favorite places in the world. One day, I was just doing my thing, driving around on a golf cart with a beer and absolutely no thoughts in my head, when I stumbled upon a strange sign that read, “Floating Plastic Bottle Island.” So I turned ...
One of the great things about living in New York City is that you’re constantly exposed to amazing people. It’s really freaking hard to live in a city where just getting your groceries home can involve almost getting run over, getting in arguments with people, and having your arms go numb from carrying all that ...
I had the pleasure of sitting down for an interview with Mr. Dave Hill recently. He rules. You can check him out here. Special thanks to Lucky 13 for allowing us to drink and shoot in their fine establishment. He’s my favorite person to follow on Twitter, too! Listen to what others have to say ...
There are a lot of charities out there who do lots of amazing, great work. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to know exactly what a charity does or where your money is going. That’s not the case with Charity Water, whose mission it is to get clean drinking water to the one billion people on the ...
