Ok, a little late on this (again). I realize this blog has become neglected, but hope to start posting a bit more again soon, but in the meantime, I need to repeat last year’s tradition. Totally ripped off from Dennis. About my “year in cities,” highlighting every city where I spent at least one night… So, here we go, in order of attendance:. San Carlos, CA (home, so multiple times). Washington, DC (multiple times). Many thousands of feet over the Atlantic ocean (multiple times). San Diego, CA. Who work ...

TVs With Interactive DOS Applications? How Aaron Sorkin Lost The Plot — Or How ‘Studio 60’ Failed. So apparently tonight is the last time Studio 60. Is likely to air. However, as many people have pointed out, the show just wasn’t up to par. Most people wanted to compare it to Sorkin’s more famous The West Wing. But to me, Sorkin peaked early with Sports Night. While I never stopped watching The West Wing. Even after Sorkin left), I always kept wishing it would move more towards Sports Night. The directio...

My New Sit/Stand/Elliptical Desk. Anyway, I am still trying to figure out what to do with this blog, and I actually do have some ideas, which may involve some changes (finally), but in the short term, I did. Want to do a quick blog post about my sit/stand/elliptical desk, because I’d mentioned it on Twitter/Facebook and some folks have asked how it is… and I’d rather post it here than on Google where it might disappear. And then… two key breakthroughs. Breakthrough 1: wondering idly if there was such a t...

http://www.masnick.com/2009/05/06/wanted-a-better-twitter-client
Wanted: A Better Twitter Client. Well over a year ago, I wrote about just how useful. Twitter can be, and over time that’s only increased. I have to admit that until about a month ago, I mostly just used Twitter in the web interface. I did install Digsby as a client, but I basically just used that to notify me when new Twitter messages were showing up. But then I kept hearing about neat things (such as groups) that TweetDeck. Not that anyone actually reads this blog, but I thought I’d try to put to...

The Usefulness Of Twitter. Mamoun’s. Back in high school, Yuval and I used to go visit record stores in the Village and get Mamoun’s for lunch. It was a pretty regular ritual. I do still try to go to Mamoun’s whenever I’m in Manhattan, though it’s increasingly rare that I need to be anywhere near the Village. As well. It’s pretty clear that this never would have happened without Twitter. I Hate The Shuttle. My New Sit/Stand/Elliptical Desk. On Being Thankful and Saying Goodbye.

On Being Thankful and Saying Goodbye. Two and half years ago, I was thrilled that my Grandma Rose (with Grandpa Sid) was able to fly out to California for our wedding. You could see how thrilled (of course) she was to share that experience with us. Later my sister Amy and my cousins Jenny and Jason along with their kids came by and we had a really wonderful time. Two days ago my Grandma Rose passed away. It was her 69th wedding anniversary. Grandma taught us all a lot about love and the importance of fam...

You Can Go Home Again… But They Might Build Yankee Stadium There…. So… I actually wrote most of this post in July of 2008, while I was traveling somewhere on a plane. It sat in a text file for all this time, because I was too lazy/busy to get the images. I figured, however, now that it’s spring training (whoo hoo! Yankee Stadium. While the new Stadium looks beautiful, I don’t think my Dad is all that happy that his old sandlots have been replaced. 8220;Oh, this is awful.”. Either way, it was a great expe...
