Hi Fan-Ap’ers!  I’m Adam Felber’s little sister Susie.  I managed to parlay our having roomed at the same womb into a lucrative non-paying blogging gig.  Yay nepotism!
I see from the comments that people want to know who I support in ‘08.  Well, I’m happy to say that I have endorsed a candidate.  He’s for public health, […]

Much is happening in Felberville.  Some highlights:
- My mom, the legendary Edith Layton, released her new novel today.  Well, Avon Books released it.  But Mom had a lot to do with it.   Order/buy/lose/buy another/forget you ordered/buy yet another/receive the one you originally ordered and slap yourself on the head today!

As it turns out, I’ll have time to check in with you all tomorrow.
Meanwhile, consider this your opportunity to talk about whatever comes to mind:  Karl Rove’s departure, Chinese-made toys, or the New York Yankees, who these days are presiding over the only surge that actually seems to be working.
Unlike, for instance, one that seems […]

So… last week I was involved in a sort of video “pilot,” part of which “aired” on Slate.com, and the other half of which can be seen here.
Fun, huh? I like the MediaCurves technology, and I personally think there’s a lot of promise in such a Felber-heavy format. [Also, being a slightly […]

Shuttle commander Scott Kelly was outraged by the report that said astronauts were drunk on the […]

CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) - …Karzai, visiting the United States amid renewed concern about worsening violence in Afghanistan and the threat from militant hideouts across the border in Pakistan, said he was building up his army and police to finish off the Taliban.
