So, Red Sonja, the temporary name for my new-to-me Honda VFR (see ‘She Arrives Tomorrow‘) showed up yesterday. (temporary until I get the rhino liner sprayed on). I pick up the plates today. And the weather for the next seven days? Thunderstorms! It has been heavenly of late in the dear old Hudson Valley. Truly ...

Walking up Park Ave today I experienced a surreal phenomenon: Mariachi everywhere. Not performing, mind you. But undoubtedly going from one shitty job to another in full corona-sponsored regalia! I would like to believe that these artists are able to raise a family while preserving their cultural heritage in music. It is, however, more likely ...

Some good sessions. Some not so good. Kathy Sierra was much more insightful than I expected, and hugely more useful (albeit less trendy) than last year’s keynote (wasnt it craig of the list and jimmy of the wiki?) I found it to be the most useful session I’ve ever had here, and think ill try ...

I grew loving LEGO. And as a geek, i never had a need for a pitching machine. There’s a part of me which really wishes I had played ball as a kid so I could hit balls in a batting cage, since I can no longer bring myself to go to the driving range (now ...

Check out what these little kids got up to when they found a bucket of paint. Kids are amazing. They managed to get paint on all the most expensive things in the room. But not on their toys. Are these Otto’s kids? Share this:
