Jeremy Blachman's Brand New Weblog

I had a weblog before. This is my new one. I went to law school. But now I've written a novel. It's based on this other blog I've been writing (click here). This blog is to talk about that process, and whatever else I feel like writing about. I'll try to make it worth your while. I'm sometimes funny. Sometimes. Thanks for stopping by.

Any designers out there?

Posted on January 30, 2009
A friend of mine is offering a $150 cash prize for someone to design the cover for her new book about how to conduct empirical social science research, called "Research Confidential." So if you like to play with graphics... more...

Gladwell

Posted on January 29, 2009
Great piece from The New Republic explaining why Malcolm Gladwell's latest book, Outliers, is pretty weak. Gladwell tells great stories, but it's the leap from story to rule that bothers me. You can find lots of stories, but they don't...

Pudding

Posted on January 28, 2009
More interesting post soon, I promise, but:Growing up, my mom often made pudding, using My-T-Fine powdered mix -- add milk, boil on the stove, eat some of it when it's nice and hot, refrigerate the rest for later. Better than...

Fire In The Toaster

Posted on January 23, 2009
Tonight's the first time that's ever happened to me! I put half an eggplant parmesan hero (the other half was a delicious lunch) into the toaster to reheat it, and a few minutes later when I went to check on...

The Best They Can Do?

Posted on January 20, 2009
OK, The New York Times has an op-ed by Roger Cohen rewriting Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire for the current generation and Obama's election. Honestly, I think it's pretty crappy. A lot of the rhymes don't rhyme (American...

Silly Headline

Posted on January 20, 2009
"Obama Renovates WhiteHouse.gov"Really? He did that? So this morning, before the inauguration, Barack Obama was busy coding html? Something tells me that's not quite how it happened. I mean, if it is, then maybe Barack Obama is actually the reason...

Cake Tasting

Posted on January 19, 2009
Been meaning to blog about this for the past couple of weeks. My fiancee and I did some wedding cake tasting when I was back in New York over the holidays. The caterer we're using can make the wedding cake...

Neat!

Posted on January 15, 2009
I was just following a link to the list of the cast members on this season's Survivor, and turns out I worked with one of them at Trilogy, the software company I worked at before law school. Neat. I didn't...

A Quick Theory About Paying For Stuff On The Internet, Part 2

Posted on January 11, 2009
Imagine the following two scenarios.A: "My Terrible Dentist" is an award-winning web series streaming online at TerribleDentist.com. I just watched it, it's really funny. It's fifteen six-minute episodes. It costs $2.50 to watch. You should check it out...

A Quick Theory About Paying For Stuff On The Internet, Part 1

Posted on January 11, 2009
A friend and I were talking the other day about a series of web videos he's thinking about putting together, and whether it seems reasonable that anyone might pay to watch them, and whether a video is even the right...

Friday Night Lights

Posted on January 08, 2009
I don't know how many people are watching this season on DirectTV. Not many, if I go by the number of comments at Television Without Pity. But, gosh, everyone should watch when the season premieres next week on NBC, because...

Million Dollar Password

Posted on January 05, 2009
If you haven't caught this on CBS, go to CBS.com and check it out. It's seriously entertaining. Mostly because whoever books the celebrities realizes that the show is more fun when the celebrities are terrible at the game, so they...

Happy New Year

Posted on December 31, 2008
Happy 2009. I just helped my mom clean out our coat closet, where we found an envelope of photos of people none of us recognize and are not sure if we actually know; nine pairs of gloves no one has...

Movies 2008

Posted on December 22, 2008
Last year, I wrote: Being in LA has caused me to see a lot more movies and a lot less theater. That has remained true, although at least I've scaled the movie number back to where it was before coming...

Responding to the comments on the books post

Posted on December 21, 2008
"Why the scarcity of fiction? Is there a particular reason? Care to post about that?"I don't know why the scarcity of fiction, except that I just find I'm not drawn to most fiction, and when I force myself to pick...

Books 2008

Posted on December 16, 2008
As of today, I've read 102 books in 2008. I've sorted the books into pretty much the same categories as last year. The mix is about the same -- less fiction than last year (2, down from 6), fewer politics,...

Forks

Posted on December 10, 2008
My fiancee and I spent two hours in Bed, Bath, and Beyond yesterday, contemplating the differences between seventy-five different sets of silverware for our registry, as if our satisfaction with every meal for the rest of our lives depends entirely...

Blagojevich

Posted on December 09, 2008
Is today the day Blagojevich becomes a household name? I imagine news anchors are spending the morning learning how to say it.Also in the news: wow, Jay Leno at 10:00. That is not so good for people hoping more new...

Sleep Wins

Posted on December 03, 2008
As a proponent of naps, and sleep in all forms, I recommend this article from today's NY Times.Seriously. My high school commute, from Brooklyn to Manhattan, was almost 2 hours each way, and I had to get up at 5:30...

Colbert Christmas Special

Posted on November 26, 2008
Really funny. Just watched it. Really funny. Fun parody Christmas songs, neat musical guests, really really well done. Stephen Colbert can pretty much do anything. Seriously, they should just give him a network and let him parody every kind of...

Thanksgiving / And something amazing I am thankful for

Posted on November 26, 2008
First, a brief Thanksgiving tale. My mom and stepdad are making Thanksgiving dinner for themselves and my grandma. They were planning to make a green bean casserole of some sort, using a can of mushroom soup. They were also going...

ABA Journal Holiday e-Card

Posted on November 26, 2008
Check out the ABA Journal holiday e-card. I think I'm allowed to say I wrote the disclaimer for them, even though it's not credited on there. In any case, if you think it's funny, I wrote the disclaimer. If you...

Top Chef: New York

Posted on November 19, 2008
Someone just left a comment asking if I had any thoughts on this season of Top Chef so far. Well, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode... thought last week's was solid, although I'd read an advance review that called it...

Slumdog Millionaire

Posted on November 18, 2008
Sometimes movies can surprise me.I had the script for Slumdog Millionaire, but among a big pile of scripts I'm reading only for my own benefit, and without any outside guidance as to what's most worthwhile, any script that opens with...

Bar Exam

Posted on November 13, 2008
I hear the New York bar exam results come out this week. Good luck to anyone who that's relevant to.Last month, when I was back in New York for a few weeks, I (finally) had my character and fitness interview...

Follow The Roar

Ahead of the Curve

Posted on November 10, 2008
Just read "Ahead of the Curve" by Philip Delves Broughton, an account of his two years at Harvard Business School. Good book, highly recommended. He was a journalist before deciding to go to business school, and ended up with mixed...

Posted on November 10, 2008
