Summer is supposed to be the time when people relax. We take days off, we go to the beach, we drink lemonade on people’s back porch and talk about nothing. Um, yea. Not quite.

In case you were craving it, here is my five-cent review of the book: First act: awesome. Brilliant action scenes, great setting of the stage in terms of tone, conflict, etc. Love the utter state of chaos that is created. Also love how Hermione apparently became the world’s best wizard seemingly overnight. Ron and Harry [...]

It’s been a long time in anticipation, but tonight the 7th and final Harry Potter book is released at midnight. Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows has stirred up the fandom to a degree I haven’t seen since Epsiode One of Star Wars back in 1999. And Laura and I were out in Union Square [...]

Oot and aboot in Toronto, snapping shots of the commercial hoopla and the architecture of the last century. Not a bad city in which to wander, eh?

Finally, Toronto. So the plan was simple enough. Meet at 5:45 am in New York, leave at 6:00 and get to Canada somewhere around 6:00 pm. And then it all went wrong… After finally departing at 7, due largely to a bus driver that didn’t show up, the passengers all proceeded to fall asleep without [...]

I’ve found it difficult making friends in the City. I blame my lack of a job, my non-peer roommate, and the fact that Rogoff and Bonetti work too damn much, but the fact is, I don’t have much of a social life. But tonight, I find myself double booked, having to leave one event for [...]

Joystiq, a website about video gaming, turned up a great article today about Tetris. You ever see those videos of people playing an insanely fast version of Tetris? You know, the ones where the block drops to the bottom of the screen literally in the time it takes to blink?. Ever wonder what the hell [...]
