    Bed bugs are taking over New York City. It’s true. And the NYT released an article today answering pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about the small horrible creatures. I’m really curious as to why they emit a sweet smell; one we can’t smell with our noses but still, a sweet smell is…

    We were on the 6 train headed down to Union Square when two women got on at 57th street. They were both hammered, one more so than the other. The really drunk woman missed the seat and sat on Toby Joe’s lap instead. Unable to focus on his eyes or face for that matter, she…

    I had a hell of a morning. I left the house at 8:30 leaving myself plenty of time to get to Midtown and take a Post picture. I got on the L Train almost immediately. I was in the second to the last car. About five feet out of the Graham Avenue stop station, someone…

    Robert, Tobyjoe, and Ashley, all supernerds who work for the Barbarian Group, finished up a huge display for Saturn yesterday. It’s a part of Wired’s NextFest taking place in New York City this week. You can check out some photos of the booth here. It’s really beautiful. I can’t wait to see it big and…

    We had a conversation on the back deck overlooking a great big lake surrounded by southern firs and humidity. The sun, as if shy from what it had done the night before, was just starting to show itself again. It was Thursday, the 5th day of our vacation. I was up before 7 AM, a…

    One year after September 11th, 2001, Salon published a rather controversial article called Forbidden Thoughts and Forbidden Letters where people anonymously wrote in and shared their thoughts no matter how bad they seemed. Some thoughts seemed so very harsh, others were disturbingly callous, and still others were bizarrely comical. That publication has stuck with me…

    I do believe that this photograph might very well be the most distressing photo Tobyjoe has ever taken. I was there at the time and for some reason it’s even worse on film. Also, there are several more shots up at The New York Post Project. Swing by, kittens.

    By now everyone has heard what Mr. Nagin said to 60 Minutes reporter, Byron Pitts. If you haven’t, I’ll repeat it. Byron Pitts confronted him about how he’s taking too long to clean up after Hurricane Katrina. To which Nagin replied, “You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed and…

    Every other day is my first day on the Internet. Time and time again, Tobyjoe has asked me, “What is this? Your first day?” because I’m upset by something I have read, taken part in, seen, or instigated on the Internet. I got dissed today on Flickr. Actually, I wasn’t really dissed but I am…
