Incidentally, the fact that it got linked from Arts and Letters Daily reminds me to point out that my former employer is now running a rather smart quarterly magazine called Intelligent Life. It's a sort of lifestyle magazine for the thinking set--less how to comparison shop for Patek Phillipes, and more an attempted operating manual for the well-lived life. It is not, alas, available in the United States in print. But its website is rather brilliant, and features some of my favorite former colleagues, all of them writing under their very own names. Highly recommend you add it to your RSS feed.

If "the well-lived life" is that tedious, I'm quite satisfied with my own, thanks. If you're drinking £600 wine but need to have it explained to you who Roderick Spode was, there's room for improvement in your living.
What's the circulation target for that quarterly?
I intend to publish a companion book, "The Dummies Guide to bein' the Intelligentsia".
I like to think of myself as being "thinking," yet I have no idea what Phillipe Pateks are, and rather than remedy my ignorance, I prefer to flaunt it. Is that a kind of shoe? Can you get it in waterproof camo?
