Hiatus
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008The Things You Carry (aka PaulDailing.com) will be going on a brief hiatus due to a family emergency. I will resume posting next week.
R.I.P. Jethro
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008My favorite dog in the world has died. His name was Jethro and he was the sweetest, cutest, coolest little pup ever. He belonged to my friend Laurie and had a weird knack for playing when you wanted to play and resting when you wanted to rest. He was obliging, which ...
Hee hee. Spitzer.
Thursday, March 20th, 2008It's Wednesday now and, on Monday, PBS' Frontline re-ran the truly excellent profile of the credit card industry. Granted, the interview with then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is a lot funnier now, but the episode was a truly horrifying and in-depth look at a really shady industry that bankrupts a ...
What’s that on the right?
Monday, March 17th, 2008If you look in the upper right, you'll see a link to something called Blog 2.0. That's a project for my grad class in which I outline how this site could better serve you. Actually, though, I would prefer you click on School Work to get to the Blog 2.0. The ...

Basically, the tenet is that companies should listen to the consumers and be open to ideas and innovations from the outside. Sounds interesting. Reminds me a ...

Luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
Friday, March 14th, 2008I couldn't find a public domain picture of the place, so here's a link to the Old Town School of Folk Music. It's a wonderful, community-based school and social center and I'm going there tonight. I'm not going there because it's a wonderful 501(c)3 non-profit educational program with long-standing ties to the ...
Screw bonds, buy crap!
Thursday, March 13th, 2008A man named Fratto is telling you to buy a bunch of crap you wouldn't have otherwise (i.e. don't need). There. That's my anticonsumerist news for the day. Read it and get pissed. Oh, yeah. Fratto is the deputy press secretary and he's speaking on behalf of the US government. Move to Canada. We ...
