Under the Deck

By hugh | Published: October 30, 2009

I posted a similar photo to facebook and it didn’t quite capture the feeling. Meanwhile, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the internet. The very first message sent over the internet was “lo” and then “login.” I joined the internet in 1993 right after my wife left me. I was only one in my family [...]

Change of Scenery

By hugh | Published: October 23, 2009

As I mentioned earlier, I’m looking into an image change. Bear with me as I try on a few different WordPress themes. In the meantime, I’m also learning how to build themes from scratch.

Fall Colors

By hugh | Published: October 15, 2009

I really like this photo. Even though the composition is completely split in half, both halves are satisfying and normally, you’d see the top half with a sunset over it. Hmmm. I got booked to DJ a party at SiP for a bunch of jazz musicians this Saturday night. DJing for musicians is sort of [...]

Huffington Post Censors Itself

By hugh | Published: October 14, 2009

I don’t have the screen shot but for a little while yesterday afternoon, the Huffington Post lead story was “PEACE PRIZE?” and linked to a story at the Washington Post about how Obama already secretly sent 13,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. I went to look for the Huffpo story again and it’s gone. The WaPo [...]

War = Peace, Failure = Success, Taxpayer = Treasury

By hugh | Published: October 13, 2009

The conservatives essentially say that the Nobel Peace Prize was given to a man who has done nothing to deserve it and they’re far less than half-right. The part they were right about was lampooned on SNL a little over a week ago. The Nobel Prize committee says Barack Obama has created “a new climate [...]

Chicken Dudes of Rockefeller Center

By hugh | Published: October 11, 2009

On weekend nights the guys at 53rd and Sixth have a line stretching down the block while the chicken dudes a block or two away have nobody. You can pretty much make your own dish yourself. I’m usually vegetarian and don’t eat this crap but I tell you from days when I sampled the street [...]

Brian Lehrer and WNYC were supposed to keep track of derelict construction projects but I can’t locate any of those resources.

I Got A Rock

By hugh | Published: October 8, 2009

This flagpole should be about 20 feet higher unless it’s really a lightning rod. I was looking at other WordPress themes so watch out! We could have a new look pretty soon although I’m fond of the water. I might just figure out the coding tricks and incorporate it. Contortionists are from Mars: Rockers are [...]

Hanging with the Janitor in a Drum® (or on the Moon)

By hugh | Published: October 7, 2009

I always thought that name for a product to be workist. It’s not exactly world peace in a mason jar. Anyway, note the boom box on the floor and the garbage bucket: janitor in the house. A friend alerted me to NASA bombing the moon early Friday morning which seems like a bad idea. (They’re [...]
