LGA: The Bear And The Snowman
Question: why in the world does that bear look scared? Answer: he found out that the Snowman is the air marshal on his flight. (LaGuardia Airport, Queens) Related Post: On The Way The $80 Question

LGA: On the Way
Taking the subway to the M60 to LaGuardia is cheap, and mostly fast. The M60 part is always the most stressful, though, if you’re like me and you try to cut it as close as possible to flight time. Sometimes the bus moves too slowly, sometimes the …

On The Northeast Corridor Redux
The parts of northern New Jersey that you can see from the Northeast Corridor are mostly sad: dirty, ancient factories and warehouses, tired old working-class homes…all the stuff a town wants to tuck away and hide when the neighbors come over. I…

Take A Part
About half-way (and thirty screws) into upgrading my sister’s iBook from a 30GB/4200 rpm hard drive to a 60GB/5400 rpm model, I regretted starting the project. There were just too many screws to remove and too many delicate parts to break. I didn’…

Unlucky Strike: Under The Bridges
There’s rumblings that today might be the last day of the strike, so maybe that’s why the sun seemed particularly bright on my ride to work this morning. (Brooklyn Bridge from under the FDR, Manhattan) More Transit Strike: My New Commute Unlucky S…

Unlucky Strike: My New Commute
To get to work during the strike, I’ve been biking over the Manhattan Bridge. Flatbush Avenue has been a parking lot yesterday and today, but on my trusty Bike Friday, traffic is not an issue. Cold, however, is. I don’t have fancy all-weather gear…

Unlucky Strike!
The TWU transit strike is illegal, selfish, and stupid. Nobody doubts that our transit workers have hard jobs and are often underappreciated. But the union demands have been outrageous and are an insult to the riders. Most transit riders earn way …

The Things You Own End Up Owning You
The cool and detached side of me wants to ask whether watching something that’s 2.35 letterboxed on a 2.5 inch screen is compelling, but it’s being drowned out by the Oh Shit, It’s Fight Club! side of me at this particular moment. [Gadget lust: Th…
