High Line at Night
I finally went to the completed High Line which I saw way before the renovation thanks to OHNY. It’s probably the most unique/odd renovated space in any urban environment.

Christmas in Zoom
These were taken 20 seconds apart and yet it’s pretty hard to find one person in both shots. I can.

Sunday Blabfest
I have luggage that needs to be sorted and I don’t mean I took a trip. I was disappointed that Bill Moyers is retiring before Oprah. If you want a great talking heads fest with Bill, check out this web exclusive with Glenn Greenwald. Find out why I’m disillusioned with Barack Obama and politics in [...]
