When they make akaratedemia, I’m looking forward to fending off a bunch of eastern Europeans with a thousand paper cuts and my katana of knowledge.
(just so lucky that pommel horse was installed a few years back…)

What am I looking at here?
Hi there and welcome! I am an economic sociologist, working at the intersection of organizations, culture, technology, and markets. This blog is devoted in not-perfectly-equal measures to discussions of finance, art markets, organizational strategy, marketing, and my own personal idiosyncratic tics and outbursts. I'll try to make it interesting, and I completely welcome comments on stuff you know much or little about.
You should subscribe to my RSS feed if you are interested. You should follow me on Twitter if you prefer to take your content in 140 character squirts. Or just look around! It's good of you to be here.

But what will you use for sound effects??
Fists of fury, scissors of erudition!
I’ve never understood why scythe-wielding mobs of peasants stand in an orderly circle, and send in fighters one-by-one. Does Sociology have an answer for me, sensae?
An excellent question, Dr. Lena. I’m very concerned in particular about this guy:
It seems to me that he should at the very least be poking Kurt Thomas with that pointy weapon of his. Instead he just kind of bobs it up and down, waiting for Kurt to finish his floor routine.
This is, pure and simple, a failure of imagination. On the other hand, I suspect that the mood of the crowd was actually equal parts visceral bloodthirsty anger and highbrow entertainment. I mean, they must have been at least a little pleased that the pommel horse they installed was getting some good use.
