• Very short book reviews. I've been listening to books on tape since 1997. I feel like I have become literate for the first time. Starting August of 2001, I've been trying to write a short review of every book I listen to.
• The Economic Possibilities of Our Grandparents. This essay discusses the relevance of John Maynard Keynes's essay "The Economic Possibilities of Our Grandchildren," for the generation of Keynes's grandchildren.

So we eventually abondoned the project, but not before we came up with some good ones. So here's what I was able to salvage from the scores of emails we wrote on this.
• I know why the Twenty%Tippers Never Made it, 1998 When Ken Sorkin was approached by a publisher to turn the short stories he wrote about his band into a book, he asked everybody he knew to contribute. I thought it was a strange way to turn short-stories into a book, and it eventually got turned down by the publisher, but here's my bit.
