    As someone pointed out on Gothamist, the flyer I wrote about below was NOT created by Wal-Mart and instead created by a group called Wal-Mart Watch. Had I read the entire flyer and visited the Web site prior having written both Jake at Gothamist and the post below, I’d have realized that they seem to…

    (Edited to add: I have written a public apology for the post below.) I exited the 4/5/6 today. The usual groups of people were standing outside Grand Central handing out menus, free rags, and the latest giveaways, whatever they cold pile on a passerby. They’re like attack fish, these people. I usually ignore them. Today,…

    I have gone into technological remission. For weeks now, I have lost my desire to surf the Internet, email people I should ultimately be calling, watch TV, read blogs, check RSS feeds, and send text messages. I’m not sure why this has happened or when, really. Suddenly, I had just realized that the loop I…

    Tobyjoe and I checked out the New York City Tattoo Convention today. It was pretty outstanding. A New York City favorite, Adorned had a booth who is the most likely candidate to complete my tattoo. Fly Rite and Mike Rubendall were there as well. There were tattoo artists from all over the world, actually. I…

    I woke up at 3:30 AM to the distant sound of cats fighting. We have three cats. And although one might immediately assume that the sound was coming from inside the apartment, I can assure you, the sound was not. Earlier that day, we had ordered a bottle of wine while sitting outdoors at a…

    Yesterday, I walked down to the waterfront to take some pictures and check things out. When I got there, I found I was more intrigued with the people than I was with what actually took place earlier in the day. (Captions are above each picture. Click the thumbnail to enlarge each image.) A guy from…

    Tobyjoe and I attended the peace march that took place in New York City this Saturday. It was pretty amazing, to be honest. For some reason, I always get choked up around large groups of people who come together for a similar reason. I am not sure why. Anyway, I have some images I’d like…

    The other day I was flipping through our weekly New Yorker when I discovered that they had a weekly caption contest. I mentally recorded the comic, and within a few seconds, I had decided on a caption. This is the comic: My caption: You don’t emit squiggly lines, do you? After running it by Tobyjoe,…

    Yay Chicago! Foie gras is produced by force-feeding grain to ducks and geese several times a day through a pipe inserted into their throats, causing their livers to expand. Someone I work with said, “Yeah, but is that really painful?” Hopefully, New York will follow. I’d love to see veal outlawed as well. Read more…
