Cities & Ambition

I’ve been thinking lately about the idea of ambition and how it relates to the places people decide to live. I’m almost finished reading Triumph of the City, a 2008 book by urban economist Ed Glaeser. In a nutshell, the book attempts to explain some of the basic tenets of urban economics like agglomeration, critical […]

Travels – Rome, Istanbul, Cairo

In October, I took a big trip with my girlfriend Catt and my friends Nick and Doug.

August + September Review

I haven’t done this in a very long time, but here are some photos from the end of August and beginning of September. Not sure if I’m going to start making blog posts frequently again like I used to, but I liked these ones a lot and felt like they deserved an honorable mention at […]
