On The Street Where You Live

Monday, January 31st, 2005

Hours of fun here people. Amazon has a feature in their yellow pages section where you can see a photo of the place you want to visit and then scroll up and down the street in either direction. It’s pretty damn cool. I’ve wasted a fair amount of time on it already. Here’s a street [...]

Yearly Warning About Turbo Tax And Quicken

Monday, January 31st, 2005

Every year I try and remind people to avoid using the products of Intuit, who make Turbo Tax and Quicken. This company fills their software with spyware (including a spyware app called C-Dilla which disables your CD burning capabilities and monitors everything you put in your CD drive). As we all know, it is very [...]

Happy Ending *or* The Roll Over

Friday, January 28th, 2005

Scene: Lunch with a couple other male coworkers, hosted by a vendor at the ESPN Zone in Times Square. We’re eating hotwings and burgers and watching a cute asian pool player do trick shots on the table-side TV. Vendor: Hey this reminds me, it’s Friday night. I need to go for a massage.

A Note On TV commercials

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

We all hate em, right? And in the age of Tivo, nobody really watches them anymore right? I don’t have a Tivo, but I generally don’t watch network TV so I wasn’t aware of the dramatic increase in commercials that you see these days. Last night I was hanging out with a friend who is [...]

Cold Cold Cold

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

Well, it’s an exciting day here in New York. Ok, no, not really. It’s just really damn cold again. It was ten degrees this morning when I left the apartment and the forecast is for the thermometer to dip down to 4 degrees or less tonight after dark. Add some wind on top of that [...]

Daydreaming

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

I’ve found myself daydreaming a lot lately. It was frequently a problem in school, and for a while I had it licked, but now it seems to be back, especially at work. People talk to me and I lose track of the conversation, nodding and smiling, but not paying attention at all. The problem with [...]

Career Prospects: Zero

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

Example One Man on the street just now, talking excitedly on a cell phone: “Yeah, I’m really excited. I am shooting a pilot for MTV. Yeah, no the real MTV, isn’t that fucking awesome? Yeah, a pilot … No, I’m in it too … a pilot … yeah, exactly…yeah, see, I have to dance the [...]
