One of my favorite times of the day, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is the last 10 minutes of my workout session. This may sound totally retarded, but whatever. I endearingly refer to those 10 minutes as, “nap-time.” After 30-90 minutes of running, then a 60 minute workout, I get to just lay there on … Continue reading The little things→
This morning as I was going through the turnstiles, entering the subway, I noticed the little digital display read “No Tokens.” I must have read this about 1000 times before today. But for some reason, this morning, I decided to think about it for a minute. Why in the world does the MTA feel like … Continue reading Observations→
Earlier this week, I came across this quote by John Adams, in the book I’m currenty reading. It was taken from one of his writings contemplating the post British rule, state of the Colonies. He wrote: We may please ourselves with the prospect of free and popular governments. But there is a great danger that … Continue reading Good day Guv’nah→
I love the recent HSBC ads like the one above. I really like the way that these ads distill down the idea of subjectivity. I tend to get so wrapped up in my opinion, that sometimes I feel like there is no other way to see things. Maybe part of that is NYC rubbing off … Continue reading It’s all about perspective→
I came home last night, and these bulletins were taped to the front door of the building, as well as to the wall next to the mailboxes. The funny part is that Reagan has been asking for a guinea pig for a while. I think that it is partly a joke. Anyway, the she wants … Continue reading Curi gratis, se llama "Fluffy"→

I get annoyed when people decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving (even more annoying before Halloween). But I guess that I … Continue reading Hooray for the weekend→
Since the days when my teacher stopped forcing me to use a pencil (circa 5th grade), pens have been my writing utensil of choice. With the exception of a few times like scantron exams and the bar exam, I have pretty much used pens exclusively. Even when sketching, I tend to use pens. Anyway, I … Continue reading Minor adjustment→
When Sarah and Jessie were here visiting, we were able to get in a little bit o’ nerd talk. Jessie is a legitimate web design dude. We were talking about how great Adobe CS3 is. I used it extensively when I was working on the design of the genealogy websites for my extended family, but … Continue reading Inner nerd→
Halloween time means candy. Where I work, many of the secretaries like to get festive with their work areas, during the holidays. Since Halloween is approaching, one need only take a brief lap of the office, to encounter the various candy-laden bowls that have been placed out for the picking. Yesterday, I swiped a tootsie … Continue reading New twist on an old fav.→
