Keep it going!
I was dying, when I saw this picture on Gothamist. It appears that someone is voicing their displeasure with NY politics, by spoofing on the “Keep it Going NYC,” Campaign. Who ever you are, nice work! Hahahaha.

Bringing it back
On my very first blog, I had this thing that I did called Jake Knows Everything. It was kind of fun, and useful in keeping my creative juices flowing. The page pictured above is actually the 3rd generation. Here is the 2nd. For some reason, I can’t find the original. Anyway, I haven’t really kept … Continue reading Bringing it back
Dry Winter Weather Dilemma
I’m sure that I’m not the only one who suffers from extra dry skin in the winter. It seriously makes me crazy. Especially on days like today, when it is so cold and windy. It seems to sap my skin of all moisture. This condition, left unchecked, will leave my knuckles all dried out and … Continue reading Dry Winter Weather Dilemma
Dreaming about warm weather
-I was in the subway last night, and I saw a homeless guy wearing a backpack that said “Zions National Park” on it. I would bet money that the guy has absolutely no concept of the significance of Zions National Park. I, however, do. With the temperature dipping down the way it did last night, … Continue reading Dreaming about warm weather
Switching things up
I had some time on my hands last night, so I decided to modify Jakesnewblog a little bit. I widened it out to 950px and dropped in another mini-sidebar on the left. I also extended the width of the slide show banner by 150px. Since I had the pictures all cropped to a specific size … Continue reading Switching things up
Piper’s Valentines Day
Piper had a very photoriffic (I just made that up) Valentines Day weekend. Reagan had a great visit with her on Friday, then our friends the McNeils came to visit her on Saturday. We were also able to spend several hours with her on Sunday evening. All in all, there were many many pictures taken, … Continue reading Piper’s Valentines Day
Winding up for the Weekend
-Getting my photo credits on, again. Woo hoo -Reagan just told me that there is a D train derailed up town. Not a good day, in NY for commuting. There was the plane upstate. There was the LIRR v. Car in Syosset. Looks like it is going to be a long commute tonight, since the … Continue reading Winding up for the Weekend
Taking the bad with the good.
The bad: I just finished doing our taxes, and because Reagan doesn’t have withholdings, we have a massive IRS payment to make by April 15th. Yuck. The good: I received an email from Coke today, telling me that the “10 code per day” limit, at mycokerewards.com will no longer be in effect after Feb. 16. … Continue reading Taking the bad with the good.
M1 and Paul’s Boutique
Yamaha released the specs of the 2009 YZR-M1 (Valentino Rossi’s bike) this week. It is all of the usual crap: >200 hp, >320 kmph, Ohlins, Marchesini, Brembo, etc., etc.. But the part worth noting, was not in the spec sheet. Rossi gave a Q and A, which was also released this week. Rossi spoke briefly … Continue reading M1 and Paul’s Boutique
Not a good day to be sharing a building with WSJ
Yeah, the Wall Street Journal’s business offices are located in a couple of the lower floors of our building. Apparently there were some suspicious letters from Tennessee containing white powder that were delivered here today. It appears that some of the packages were also opened. While it is probably nothing, the 9th-12th floors have been … Continue reading Not a good day to be sharing a building with WSJ
