Southeast Asia: Part 1

I went to Southeast Asia last August, and I just realized I never posted about it. Oops! I only took like 4000 photos…so I should share something.
Part 1 – Getting There
My first flight was from Newark to Hong Kong on Continental. I was in coach but had snared a pretty good seat. This was a [...]

Muppet’s Bohemian Rhapsody

This is kind of amazing…

8 Years Ago

This was written the evening of September 11, 2001. Reading it today still makes me cry.

I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I’d go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into work at 8:45, the same [...]

Observations on my way to work

Canadian Hockey Fans

If you ever wondered what the difference between American and Canadian hockey fans was…well here’s a visual example. Hey there Iginla.

Exploding Easter Bunny

There is a house a few blocks from mine that has had Easter decorations up for awhile. These are not just any Easter decorations either, it pretty much looks like the Easter bunny exploded with a full load of eggs.
I finally remembered to take a photo last weekend. I think people have been taking eggs [...]

Sound of Music flash mob?

My friend Liz had this on her blog and I had to share…

Seems like a flash mob from Sound of Music. Rather amusing but can you imagine how annoyed you’d be if you were late for your train and that was going on in the middle of the station?
