This is an amazing set of pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/w00kie/sets/180637/ They aren’t Photoshoped images. It’s a picture of the background as the Desktop picture giving an illusion of transparency. The most impressive one to me is this one.
This past weekend I went down to Philadelphia to meet up with Robert, Brian, and Chris at Brian’s place near Philadelphia. As a part of the plan, we decided that we had to try an actual Philly Cheesesteak and set our sights on Geno’s, which is supposed to be the “best”. (Yeah, my dietitian was […]
I had posted this earlier, but due to some user error I accidently deleted it from my blog. Oops. So I’m going to try and recreate it as best I can.So I went to the doctor a while back for a routine checkup and he told me much of the same things my doctor in […]
Last night I was fiddling around on ebay and started looking for tickets to events I wanted to go to in the NYC area that are kinda hard to get tickets to right now. First I was looking at “700 Sundays” which is Billy Crystal’s one man show. The tickets there were a bit expensive. […]
One of the movies I loved growing up was “Big” with Tom Hanks. The most memorable scene being Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia playing “Chopsticks” on a giant piano at FAO Schwartz in New York City. When my brother and his family were in town recently, we went to FAO Schwartz (since they reopened in November […]
One of the really cool things I like about New York is how many theaters show movies that haven’t been in the theaters in years. I know I’ve blogged before about going to “Moulin Rouge!” which was really cool. Then I found something even cooler. The Lowe’s on 34 St. (along with some other theaters […]
Well, it’s a little bit late, but I thought I would mention my new phone. It’s a Motorola v551 from Cingular. Maggie and I “upgraded” our AT&T accounts to actual Cingular ones so we could get the rollover and the new phones. The thing I really like about this phone is that it can play […]
I’ve been a hockey fan since I saw my first game on ESPN back in like 1989. I thought to myself, “What an amazing sport, they have to do all their work on ice of all surfaces!”. I became a New Jersey Devils fan for no reason other than they happen to be the team […]
Well, I hope to never see something like this happen: http://www.aclu.org/pizza/images/screen.swf I find it amazing the amount of privacy people are willing to give up for the sense of security. I think Benjamin Franklin said it best: They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.
Robert just IMed me this link: http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/rainbowtvepisode.html I just can’t believe that comes from a kids show. I’m almost choked while drinking some water while watching it. Enjoy! (You might want some headphones if you are near sensitive ears)
When Andy was up in October, he was in the middle of reading the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. I really, really, liked the movies and I asked him how the books where. And his response was “They kick the sh*t out of the movies”. Needless to say, I was intrigued. I was in the […]
I was walking to the train the other morning after our 16 inches of snow and stumbled across this outside a bar called the LightHorse a couple blocks away from the apartment: To give you some scale, Mr. Frosty’s heart is at about 6 ft. These are gigantic! And amazing. Definitely a great deal of […]
I know I’m a little behind the news here, but I started using Ta-Da List the day it came out and I loved it from the start. One of the coolest things is I can share the list with anyone…so for one, I’ve made a list for my wife to use for “Honey Do” items. […]
These guys have to be just a little bit crazy since they are doing some amazing jumps from building to building : http://www.boreme.com/bm/DEC04/a/city-jumping/fr.htm The gang here at work figures this next one is either from a Fraternaty or (my vote) some bored Armed Service personnel: http://www.boreme.com/bm/NOV04/a/tablefootball-skills/fr.htm This last one is a bit of a morbid […]
Ok, so Maggie and I have made it through the first blizzard and we seem to have made it out ok. I wanted to post some before and after pictures to give you an idea of how much snow we got. I don’t have stats for Jersey City, but I saw where Central Park got […]
Ok, here’s something we don’t get in Texas, from the National Weather Service: …BERGEN NJ-EASTERN PASSAIC NJ-ESSEX NJ-HUDSON NJ-UNION NJ- 600 AM EST SAT JAN 22 2005 CORRECTED EXPIRATION TIME … BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING… SNOW WILL MOVE IN THIS AFTERNOON… AND WILL BECOME VERY HEAVY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

I’ve been asked which hacks I was using for comment preview and for the comment image. For “live” preview I am using the code from here: http://www.chrisjdavis.org/2004/03/15/live-preview-for-comments/ And for the image I am using: http://www.gudlyf.com/index.php?p=376 Both are pretty easy to install. If you have problems with them, leave comments on the different blogs and the […]
And better than ever…well, maybe. So I’ve added two hacks to WordPress for comments. The first is a new comment preview that does it “live” below the comment box. The second one is to try and stop spam. In order to post comments, you’ll have to enter the code displayed. If you fail to enter […]
Check out this picture (click for full size): I need to find some balloons like that and see what sorts of looks I can get. 🙂 I’m guessing the police wouldn’t take it so kindly.
This is the start of a series of entries about books I’ve recently read. I hope to add links to these books to the right and also a section detailing what I am currently reading (at least one person I know was intersted in that tidbit of info). I picked up “Angels & Demons” because […]
