If you’ve been following either CNBC or “The Daily Show” — or basically if you’ve turned on your TV at all this week — then you know that Jim Cramer is in a sort of televised brawl with Jon Stewart. It all began with this “Daily Show” clip. Cramer, in contrast to his sometimes tough [...]

Last night, my brother and I went to see my high school friend Michael’s band, Stepanian, play at the Bitter End in Manhattan.

I just need to publicly announce my adoration for my older brother, Nathan. Not only did we have a really wonderful time on Friday night playing Trivial Pursuit, drinking wine, eating cheese (try goat brie RIGHT NOW if you haven’t already) and installing Leopard on my computer, but today, when I discovered my VPN client [...]
