(April 20) As has been my way since moving back to Long Island, I walked to IBM from Penn Station round-trip. I don’t feel I’m getting $4.50 worth of transportation to go only twenty three blocks north and four or five blocks east and back again. (In May I did Penn Station to 84th and back for a total of one hundred blocks north-south and one east-west)

I’ve been trying to vary my route to take in new sights,
but the classics cannot be denied.

the clear skies are spotty
I wish my camera were as spotless as the view

bye bye ibm?
I need to do better than this. June might be my last time here.

there's a graph for everything!

(September 3) The parts of my life that generally go off without a hitch are those whose dates and times are well established long in advance. Primarily these are Python workshops and Dorkbot meetings. This month they were on consecutive days.

canal street: the remake
After Dorkbot, I finally got a replacement shot for an image I’d put into masthead image rotation. I liked the original shot, but I’d taken it from the wrong angle, and it had a fuzziness that I grew not to care for.

Cue the Burt Bacharach, hurricane season is in full swing.

Speaking of rain…

Unexpectedly, I was able to get away and into the city early.

All such trips start with the train.

I would have thought caffeine would drag the whole thing out.
