After staying out til 2am the previous couple nights, I ended up sleeping in until noon on Sunday morning. I had kind of planned that – the weather forecast had said that it was going to be cold and rainy on Sunday, so I figured I should get my fun in while I could. I […]

Apologies for the out of order entries here. This actually happened before the last entry, but I wanted to write about the play immediately while it was fresh in my brain. So now we’re back to Friday, where I spent the morning sorting out my back entries and going to the coffeehouse and uploading a […]

I’ve been a fan of Neil LaBute’s work since seeing the movie In the Company of Men, which I saw based on this review by James Berardinelli. I also saw Your Friends and Neighbors, and Nurse Betty, which didn’t impress me as much, and his play, The Shape of Things, which was okay (and later […]

In case there was any question, it is confirmed that I am, in fact, a dumbass. When I got back to the apartment, and opened up the laptop, this time with wireless enabled, there were something like nine networks in sight, four of which were open access. Words don’t describe how dumb I feel. This […]

So I’ve been writing entries on my laptop, but had not yet figured out how to get them uploaded to my site. My host has cable internet, but when I plugged his network cable into my laptop, I couldn’t get a connection, probably because my MAC address doesn’t match or some nonsense. And I couldn’t […]

It was a relatively nice day, so I decided to spend it wandering the streets. In particular, I chose to go investigate the art galleries of Chelsea. First I had lunch at Bongo’s Fry Shack, which was recommended by last week’s TimeOut magazine, but which was disappointingly overpriced and not very good, as this review […]

Today I got off to a slow start. My fourth day in New York, and I’d already worn myself out. So I took the morning off, reading and relaxing. I ventured out for lunch, stopping by a Korean place I’d seen the night before in the East Village. I liked it – I got the […]

My friends at Squid:Labs are doing an installation at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum for an exhibition on “Extreme Textiles”. Their exhibit is called “Rope and Sound”, and it’s essentially a three-dimensional harp with three steel pillars each holding each other up with rope strung between them. The rope is Squid:Labs’ electronic rope, so the ropes […]

Monday morning, I had a brief crisis, when I woke up and found that the screen on my Sidekick had failed. It turns out that a Sidekick without a screen is completely useless. I used my host’s computer to find a nearby T-mobile store, and found out that my options were to (1) get a […]

I took the red-eye flight out of San Francisco. Normally, it’s not too big a deal for me because I can sleep on planes, but for some reason, I had a hard time sleeping this time around. Probably because I gloated to a coworker that I could sleep on planes. I did sleep for most […]
