    Growing up in Salt Lake valley, I am no stranger to the winter inversions that occurred there. Even though the air over the valley would get dangerously loaded up with particulate matter between storms, it sure made for some dramatic sunsets. In NYC, we don’t have the inversions, but we can rely on our good…

    I had to take a picture of this, because it made me laugh so hard. Part of the reason that I found it so amusing, is because it reminds me of the kind of crap that I used to write, when I was in grade school. When I first started learning about philosophy and stuff.…

    During my stint in midtown this week, Although working my fingers to the bone, I was able to get a couple of kind of cool pictures. During one of our all nighters, I snapped the pic above, at sunrise. The one directly below was also taken at sunrise, facing East, down 42nd St. If you…

    I am working remotely today from another firm’s office in the Conde Naste building. It is pretty quiet on this floor, and we have a great view. So it is a little bit of consolation.

In addition to finding new digs, we are looking for someone cool to take our spot. Our current building manager is really cool,…

    When I got on the train this morning, the sun was out, and it looked like it was going to be a beautiful day. When I came above ground, in the financial district, it was snowing sideways. Go figure.

    Yesterday was my first day back to work, after all of my time off. I can already say that I wish I was back on vacation, hahahaha. I guess that it doesn’t help, that I came back to a headache of a deal, with a bunch of super stressed out (rightly so) people. I would…

    This is the only picture that I took on New Year’s eve. It is a shot of our block, as I was heading downtown for the evening’s festivities. It was bloody cold and nasty weather pretty much all day, and night. We had a great time though. Thankfully, we didn’t spend much time, at all,…

    What better way to say out with the old, than to go out to your car, right as the parking cop is placing a ticket on your windshield. Yeah, I was 6 minutes late, to move it. On a Wednesday too! It is because I picked up Reagan from work last night, and we just…

    In New York City, for several obvious reasons, although many of the older apartments in contain fireplaces, no fires are allowed. This is kind of a bummer, for those who enjoy lighting the yule log around this time of year. In this modern age, however, there exists a digital solution for this conundrum. The NY…
