I’m off to a new apartment in less than a week. So long upper west side. I’ll miss the proximity to Columbia, but I’m off to greener pastures (and better pizza) down in the west village. My new WalkScore looks great.
But, of course, going off to a new apartment means I must deal [...]

I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Prefuse 73 lately. It’s amazing how versatile this music is for me. I can listen to in intensely and let myself become engrossed in it… but I can also just hang out with friends and let it chill in the background. It works in [...]

Whoa… Just found out that the last company I worked at, Homestead, is being acquired by Intuit. Homestead gave me a GREAT first job, and they were a really great group of people to work with. Congrats to everyone there; I hope they all made out well in the acquisition. Time [...]

My mother has an active role in Oxfam America, plus I’m interested in new models leveraging digital media [...]

Sorry for all the dead air lately on this blog. It will get better soon. While you wait, why not watch a funny, viral video? Here’s a quick reblog of a great take on the writer’s strike:

Digression: Hey, striking stagehands and fat-cat theater owners! Get back to the bargaining table! [...]

On Friday, I used GOOG-411 to find the address of an Indian restaurant I was going to in the upper west side. GOOG-411 failed me before I eventually stumbled on the restaurant. But, in spite of Google’s failure, I was really curious about the “holding” noise that GOOG-411 makes while it’s performing a [...]

FreeRice is amazing. Improve your vocabulary and help cure world hunger at the same time. I hope the business is sustainable… I wonder what percentages of the ad revenue go to site maintenance vs actually buying rice? Regardless, thanks for the vocab less FreeRice! I wish every game left me feeling [...]
