(Sep 11) Some things are touchstones in one’s life. For each of us, these are different things.

pennsylvania station
First stop, arrival and re-departure

bright and blurry
Stepped outside the station and started adjusting my camera

the building that beat donald trump
Saw an old friend

tribeca beckons
Wandered downtown, a reminder of college nights watching the Honeymooners with friends.

knob creek, saw this factory on tv
I’ve never worked at or owned a bar. I’ve imagined it a lot though. Odd.

irony(n): the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect
Nothing screams Amish like an electric sign in midtown Manhattan

r-e-s-p-e-c-t
This is all Walter White really wanted.

that was two lifetimes ago
I’ve had the Gorgeous George (it’s a burger)

To be continued…

(Apr 25) You thought March was over. We lied. But April too. Honest!

walking through the ruins of a grand building
Peeking at the past

it's taking forever
Slowly. Oh so very slowly.

why am i in east setauket at dawn?
Moon at dawn

tommy
April started with reality TV stars in my midst

costco meat (mostly)
What’s $100 of meat look like

romeo romedoze
The warm has arrived

time marches on more quickly than construction has on the wtc site
Does it look like it changed any since the one above?

i'm about to elevate my day
This way up

(Oct 6) preed came to town, his first visit since 2007. I didn’t get to spend enough time with him the last time because Billy had just begun his death spiral. This time Paul probably saw more than enough of me. This is that story. <insert Law & Order sound here />

welcome back to new york
Paul came to town

big. metal. earth.
He stayed in the Columbus Circle area

larouchies
The crazy people were there to greet us

i finally held an event at the atrium
He gave a talk at the Wall St. Atrium

viza identified the deli from the photo of the food
We had lunch at Katz’s. The live entertainment was a family that repeatedly left their baby unattended at the table where it sucked on a mustard bottle.

the future rudolph guiliani bridge
We walked to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge

eventually to be renamed the mario cuomo bridge
Then walked back to Manhattan across the Manhattan Bridge

where many things are for sale
We made landfall in Chinatown.

mugged in ny, high tech style
Someone in the Bronx who works at the Irish bar he ate at cloned his card to buy a $1000 phone.

(Jul 13) Today, I did something different. It wasn’t what I’d call a success story though, but that’s probably in no small part due to my not feeling well.

up
My arrival in the city

stuff
My arrival at HOPE 9

whistleblower
William Binney gave the keynote

sufficiently geeky
Trust not the anonymous QR code

it is difficult to do things in public
I admire the use of public space

. ... -...
A lesser-obtained angle for me

(Dec 31) The end of 2011. I will not miss it. If the year had a theme, it was the treachery of the NYLUG coup, and that I moved again, and that I’ve had a car under my feet instead of the pavement. That last one’s been taking some getting used to still.
