I spent most of the weekend walking around Seattle, getting a feel for the city itself and scouting locations to set up a life. Over at the Fremont Sunday Market, I ran into a woman selling well designed umbrellas under the name Pare Umbrellas. They looked fantastic in person. They’re designed in [...]
In the process of shedding items before the move, I ended up with many books that I needed to find a new home for. They ultimately ended up in the hands of a Harlem charity, but I considered selling them for a while to The Strand, a very popular New York bookstore. In [...]
Today, I leave Spanish Harlem for the Left Coast, cat in tow. Officially, I’m moving for work reasons, but unofficially it’s so I can vote in a swing state.
I’m about to turn the corner while walking around today. I hear an approaching car horn being pushed permanently. A second later, the source of the sound comes into full view:
a yellow cab flying down the street at an incredible speed followed immediately by a second car, the driver clearly angry, one hand [...]
I purchased a cheap duffel bag the other day to help with the move, and it contained a single piece of cardboard with the following print on it.

I can’t quite say why, but I love the design of the box for Late July Crackers. I thought enough of the design that I actually took the empty box over to a friend’s apartment to show him, and he looked at me like I was crazy. For the record, I’m not crazy. [...]
I’m the gift that keeps on moving.
For the third time in my life, I will soon be a resident of Seattle. I’ve moved quite a bit over the years, in my formative years due to my mothers vocation and in my adult years for both work and the adventure of it. The current [...]
The first in a series of Adventures in Blog Commerce (yes, I am wearing a cape while I type this.) I’m selling a barely used and well-cared for Epiphone Texan Guitar. It was purchased new in the late 90s and has spent most of it’s time in a hardshell case. In short, [...]
Things have been a bit slow here over the past week with both a trip to Seattle (to see friends and family) and a persistent cough. My flight back to New York City last night left me with a temperature of 103.7F, a fever that resulted in an escorted and delirious trip to the [...]
It looks like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and his attached owner Robert Smigel got kicked out of the Republican National Convention. No details yet, but I’m betting we’ll get to see a hilarious bit on Late Night with Conan O’Brian this Friday.
Dvorak has some pictures of the event.
If you are not aware of [...]
