No more writing class. The job search is heating up, and I have way too many interesting tasks on my to do list. After a great first few sessions, the energy level in class dropped off - even the instructor seemed to lose interest in us. Fine, I’ll let him return to his poetry.
I prefer blogging, frankly – prefer an exploration of ideas that doesn’t need to devolve to the relentless self-flagellation of “memoir.” And some day I’d like to write for The Onion, or Shouts and Murmurs, but I don’t believe that’s a style of writing Stanford would deign to teach.
In other good news, I’ve finally got around to starting my behavioral economics blog, and will link to it as soon as I have a respectable number of posts, as well as Google Analytics up and running.
Most of all, I think I like to write for myself. To answer another criticism, yeah, I guess I am happy with “pretty.”

That Stanford would deign to teach? Haha…I don’t think Stanford’s as stuffy as you think.
Hope you’re doing well!
