La Musica Coolica #38 (Nirvana)
As with probably half, or even more than half of my generation, one of my all-time favorite rock bands is Nirvana. There is nothing that I can write about them that hasn’t already been written 1000 times over. The song that I’m sharing from them, is not actually a Nirvana, song. It was actually written…

NYC Half-Marathon
I was up bright and early this morning, to get to Central Park in time to get some shots of the NYC Half-Marathon, which started at 7 AM. It is a good thing that it started so early, too, since it was such an extremely warm day. After shooting the start, I booked it down…

Camping Upstate
Well, this weekend I was finally able to justify the masses of camping and climbing gear that I dragged with me when I moved to New York from the Rockies. It is a good thing, too, because Reagan has threatened, on a few occasions to toss it all out. Friday night we went camping with…

The most ridiculously cool Street Art I have seen in a while
Once again this comes by way of Wooster, from Traseone. Mini shadow skater stencils. Sick.

La Musica Coolica #37 (DP)
I had kind of forgotten about these guys, until one of my old homies from HS brought them up on FB. So, thanks, Mike! I first heard of Digable Planets on a compilation album that I picked up for free at this record shop I used to work out. The compilation is called “Jazzafunkapyschadelic.” It’s…

Piper Update
Piper was an energetic maniac today. We had so much fun with her. She was in the mood to do some major standing today. She wasn’t even wearing her good shoes for standing . She was standing on the floor hanging on to the bottom of her crib bars for support. Then she started chewing…

Bike Rides and Helicopter Crashes
The plan was to get up super early and go on this epic ride today, for Summer Streets. I had mentioned the plan to our friend Col, the night before. So embarrassingly enough, Reagan and I were still in bed, trying to decide whether or not to go, when Col called and was like “where…

Impractical, but cool
I came across this fancy little product from Contexture Design, via Fresness. I’m not really sure why a person would want to take a smaller version of a device (conceptually made smaller to be more convenient) and bulk it back up with such a large case. But I do like the aesthetic. Maybe they can…

Shaping up
Reagan and I are going camping with some friends, weekend after next. We are totally excited about it. We are going to this place near Bear Mountain, which also happens to have some climbing nearby. Ok, it doesn’t just happen to. My friend Col and I looked for about 2 hours on-line, one afternoon, to…

Headphones a la Gilligan
From a purely aestheic perspective, these things are a 9 and 1/2 out of 10. The fact that they are also functional is an added bonus. Make Blog re-posted them from Iwan Roberts‘ blog Dau Gi Bauch, where he writes about having constructed them for his friend’s 21st birthday. Roberts, can we get and instructables…
