The good folks at Esquire were wondering why every other person name-checking Boston on Twitter after the Marathon bombing also name-checked Dunkin’ Donuts. Here’s an essay I wrote to answer that question — an exegesis of weak coffee and hometown pride.

And you're on it right now!
Occupy Green Beer
There’s nothing especially wicked traditionally Irish about dying the Chicago River green, or swilling cheap booze from a styrofoam Dunkin’ Donuts coffee cup while a dude in full Imperial Stormtrooper garb high-steps it down Broadway. So why hate on green beer? If the green beer we drink on St. Paddy’s tastes like garbage, the answer isn’t banishing it; it’s finding guys who can make green beer worth drinking. Who’s making good green beer? Click on over to this Esquire post of mine and find out.
The Political Cowardice of Car-Free Developments Full of Cars
An infrequently-updated website is the sign of somebody with plenty of paying work to do. That’s the hope, at least. In lieu of five months of actual content, here’s a cheap excuse, and also a link to my latest Globe op-ed column, which brings logic and also Census stats to bear on the ridiculous fight over a car-free apartment building in Allston. And here it is right here.
Beware the Red Menace Driving the Backhoe
Herald: Sure, we could build bridges and train lines too, if we wanted to RENOUNCE OUR FREEDOM or something.
Clips All Over the Place, Clips All Over Your Face
So this is what’s happening with this here website. All content, from mid-2008 to mid-2012, is dead and gone forever, probably. Hope I didn’t say anything funny and/or useful during that period.
Also! Clip restoration is cruising. CommonWealth print features, Globe columns for all of 2011 and 2012, and old Boston mag stuff are all back online.Older Dig stuff too, but there’s still a bunch of that work remaining to be spun through the Wayback Machine and pdf’d. Can somebody out there figure out a way to redesign websites without breaking every link, ever? Plz and thx.
Also! I’ve tried to push some four-year old content further down the page with some pretty pictures. You’re welcome, America.
And also again, a new, virtually content-less website deserves new design! Say hi to Chunk.
