When Giants Roamed the Earth…

It’s only been two days since I officially finished for the semester, so I haven’t had much chance to read up on any of my favorite goings-ons, but I was able to do plenty of thinking and picture taking during my daily treks through downtown Brooklyn on my way to Pratt.
So, we’ve got this whole [...]

Llanfairpwl… blah blah blah

Does anyone know what the crap this is?  Oh…  So, can anyone tell me what the crap this sign was doing in Hanover Square and so far from Wales?
Oh, it’s great when the sign for your town needs three posts to hold it up. And I thought being from Valatie (pronounced Va-lay-sha, not Va-lah-tie, [...]

JetBlue Terminal, Cont’d

On my way back through the terminal on my return flight, some guy had one of the raised sections cordoned off and was performing stand-up comedy. Different strokes, I guess.

The JetBlue Terminal Has a Wheelchair Refuge!!

Finally, a seating area where those pesky handicapped can’t bother me…

Properly Improper

I was visiting my friend Kelly the other night, and after walking into her apartment I went to take off my jacket and realized that I’d grabbed the wrong shirt that morning (I’ve got whole host of t-shirts that I use for riding) and the very act of unzipping my jacket might bring Kelly’s opinion [...]

Bagless in New York

The D Train: Ladies Drink for Free

While procrastinating the inevitable completion of the last in a long line of keynote presentations this semester, I happened upon this gem amongst my ‘Rapid Bus’ google results.  From Alan Hoffman, a San Diego transportation consultant.  (Read the whole article here.)
“It’s what I call the ‘AYF Factor.’ Attractive young females are the
canary in the coal [...]

The Night Can’t End Until…

You never know what will happen in Chili’s. So I’m in Reston, VA for the week, attending a training for my job. Cause I could get a shuttle from the airport to my hotel, I was able to go without a rental car for the trip (good for the environment), though because of [...]

You HAD to Ask that Question?

Part of being a ‘blogger,’ aside from the feeling of towering superiority you get over others who don’t blather all over the internet (or at least do it anonymously), is obsessively checking the stats of your site to see if you are actually making a dent in the big beautiful orb we all call 127.0.0.1.
