Accident on Flushing
After several years of riding I finally went down. On the motorcycle. It wasn’t too scary because I wasn’t in any danger of actually colliding with any other vehicles and it was on a street in Brooklyn.
That’s not to say that it wasn’t a terrifying experience. Long story short: An 18 wheeler was parked on [...]
Zippers On Pants Suck
Why? Because when they break you’re pretty much screwed. Like today. With my pants.
I am now literally looking into everyone’s eyes to see if they notice. It’s not bad (and believe you me that my junk isn’t going to accidentally flop out. I bet I can go the entire day without anyone saying anything to [...]
Things that make me happy
I’d simply like to point out that while there are many reasons to love NY, a few hit over the past few weeks.
I can see a friends’ movie premier on a Tuesday night followed by a Mogwai show on a Thursday and then late night bowling on Friday with a few too many drinks. I [...]
Photo Inspiration
I stumbled upon a few photography sites that I think are amazing.
First, Excerpts From The Annals of Everyday Life (The Square America Snapshot Archive) which has a brilliant collection of old photos which essentially is what the title suggests: a snapshot of America from a bygone era. I could look all day.
Second, I found Ultraviolett from [...]
Data Mining
The current project at work had me tapping into the YouTube API. What I realized was that it wouldn’t be practical to have each client request a shit ton of thumbnails each time. So the quest to build a little system to cache the thumbs, say, once a day was a fun task. Basically a little [...]
No more MTA
What a joy it’s been riding to work. Even though it’s still slightly chilly in the AM I’m happy to get out there and ride. Today I even took a long route (happy mistake) and rode down Stuyvesant a while and then turned around and came back up Bedford to Myrtle and then to work. [...]
Zen and the art of …
One advantage to the upgrade to WordPress is that I can write while on the train or in this case when I have insomnia. Will this prove to be useful?
Doubtful. But right now it appears to be a good way to waste time until I have to get up.
Watchmen: I was impressed. Quite [...]
Hemingway Stile
After the migration the next step was to decide on a suitable theme. Since I am not a designer and although I am a coder, I despise working with CSS. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s amazing. I’m just no good at it. I leave that to the professionals.
And here we are with a [...]
Hello (again) WordPress
Goodbye Chyrp. Chyrp was really pissing me off what with the steps needed to upgrade to the latest version (of which I was not notified) and the themes not behaving I figured it isn’t worth it anymore. Too much of a hastle.
Chyrp, you were a good friend for a brief time however I have to [...]
