Into The Red

This couldn't possibly be the same guy, but in my mind I like to think that it was -- and that he wears a different color each day. And, as before, I was envious.

I was doing a video shoot on Roosevelt Island this Saturday and it was cold, hence the sleeping bag of a jacket I'm wearing. The fruit don't seem to mind.

I love airport people watching, especially the welcomes and farewells at the head of the pier. They're the small moments that reveal so much.

Answer: he found out that the Snowman is the air marshal on his flight.

Taking the subway to the M60 to LaGuardia is cheap, and mostly fast. The M60 part is always the most stressful, though, if you're like me and you try to cut it as close as possible to flight time. Sometimes the bus moves too slowly, sometimes the bus goes so fast you think it's going to go up on two wheels and tip over.

On The Northeast Corridor Redux

On The Northeast Corridor

The parts of northern New Jersey that you can see from the Northeast Corridor are mostly sad: dirty, ancient factories and warehouses, tired old working-class homes...all the stuff a town wants to tuck away and hide when the neighbors come over. I always wanna get out and take more photos, close up.

Take A Part

Take A Part

About half-way (and thirty screws) into upgrading my sister's iBook from a 30GB/4200 rpm hard drive to a 60GB/5400 rpm model, I regretted starting the project. There were just too many screws to remove and too many delicate parts to break. I didn't think I'd be able to put the thing back together correctly and I started cursing myself for not paying Tekserve a hundred bucks to do it.

But two hours later, the machine booted up perfectly. My sister now had a lot more room for her music and pictures. Best of all, the iBook seemed faster. It was around then that I started imagining upgrading my PowerBook's 80GB drive to a 120GB, and giving the 80GB to my sister and...

I read somewhere that the joy of seeing their newborn baby makes mothers forget their declarations of "never again!" during labor. I think I just experienced something similar.
