I've been having a great time down here in DC, staying with Tony and my other Harvard friends. I got to have dinner with Ezra twice at a nice Thai restaurant, and we consumed both fiery food and fire together. (Actually, I'm the only one who ate fire, but if he ever wants to learn, I'll be happy to teach. The left's advantage on health care policy is mighty, but other skills will be needed to bring us victory.) Matters of great moment were discussed between us, at which those outside the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy can only guess.
I'll be in Philly until the 18th, when I'll be going to Ann Arbor to hang out with the philosophy crew at the U of Michigan. Then it'll be to Cambridge MA on the 26th to go to Harvard's science fiction convention, and then back to Austin before February.

My other blogs
I've blogged in many different places. Here are some of them:
I'm very proud of War or Car, where I posted a new thing you could buy for the price of the Iraq War everyday, for 121 days. This was during the 2008 elections, and I was glad that the antiwar candidate won. The site got its name because you could buy every American household a Toyota Prius for the $3 trillion price of the war. Or you could buy the Irish their annual beer intake, in Guinness, for a millennium. Or you could buy all the world's pandas their own personal stealth bombers!
Probably my greatest era of internet awesomeness was guestblogging for Ezra Klein long before he achieved his current superstardom at Vox. My posts there are pretty scattered, so they'll be hard to find. My work for Ezra catapulted me into other opportunities like filling in for Kevin Drum at the Washington Monthly. After that from 2008 to 2015, my friend Nick Beaudrot and I wrote a blog called Donkeylicious. As the name suggests, it was largely about Democratic politics.
During the 2012 elections, I created a little blog called VoteSeeing that tabulated election predictions and graded predictors on how well they did. The folks at Daily Kos Elections won the prediction contest, with Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight a close second. Shortly afterward, a group of philosophers at a blog called NewAPPS got me to put up a few posts for them.
This post at the Philosophers' Cocoon has more about my job at the National University of Singapore, where I'm a philosophy professor.
