Fun Things I've Written

My Article From Business School: A paper that I wrote for The Stern Journal with Adam Brandenberger titled How Much Is a TV Star Really Worth?
My Business School Essay: My Friend, That Bastard, Benjamin Franklin
My Magazine Writing:From 1998 to 2003 I had a side job as a magazine writer for The Abercrombie & Fitch Quarterly before the magazine was discontinued to to excessive criticism from conservative groups. Some of my favorite articles are an imaginary history of Christmas, a visit to Geoge Lucas's ILM right before the release of Star Wars: Episode 1, and the world's most entertaining calculus professor.
My New York Times Parody: In college I was the Chairman of the Yale Record, the nation's oldest college humor magazine and the coiner of the term hot dog in 1895. On April 1st 1999 we did a parody of the New York Times website that's a lot of fun to read. We were going to get coverage from the Times; however, as a humorus April fools joke that year, NATO decided to bomb Yugoslavia which pre-empted our coverage.
