  • Spontaneous Fun With Citibikes

    Last Saturday, my wife and I were in Long Island City. We wanted to head to Central Park to get some exercise, so I opened Google Maps to plan out our route. I noticed that there was a nearby bridge and I thought to myself that walking into Manhattan could be great exercise. I ran…

  • The Saddest Rilakkuma in the World

    This is the world’s largest Rilakkuma. He’s sad and lonely AF, because at $1200.00, no one can afford to take him home. So, he just sits there. He poses for the photos, hoping it’s his chance to find a family, but he is always left behind. From my Instagram.

  • Supporting Veterans on Memorial Day with Hot Dogs

    My wife and I met friends who are visiting from the Philippines at the Metropolitan Museum of Art today. We got there early and we hadn’t had anything to eat for lunch, so we were checking out the food carts along 5th Avenue. Last night we were talking about Nathan’s hot dogs at Coney Island so I…

  • Refuting the Culture of War Amnesia or Denial in Japan

    This historiography on “war denial” or “war amnesia” in post-World War II Japan was recognized as an Outstanding Paper on East Asian History in May 2017 by the City College of New York History Department and received the Barbara Brooks Award. Countries that suffered under the Japanese during World War II, like China and South…

  • Busy little noodle joint – Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles in Chinatown

    Doyer’s Street is kind of a weird looking spot, but it has the best noodle shop I’ve been to in New York City: Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles. The location subtitle on Google Maps, “Busy little noodle joint”, sums the place up pretty well. It’s a hole in the wall establishment. You could easily walk by and not…

  • The Water Taxi Ride from Manhattan Pier 11 Slip A to Red Hook IKEA/Fairways

    On the weekends, there is a free water taxi that travels between Pier 11, Slip A, in Manhattan and piers at Fairways and IKEA in Red Hook, Brooklyn on a regular schedule. It also operates on weekdays but it’s not free. On weekdays, each ticket is $5, but if you keep your ticket receipt and…

  • Just cat pics, because my cats are great

    Above: Dapper, in her “deep dish cuddler” bed. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js They’re all great cats, even Cheesecake, with his constant booger nose. I really need to figure out what’s wrong with him. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

  • Switching to Android: How to fix not receiving text messages from iPhone iOS users

    After quite a few years of reliable use, my iPhone 5S finally broke down on me. There were some odd scratches or particles inside the camera mechanism in the phone that caused large blotches to appear in all of my pictures. It was really annoying because I love using my phone camera while I’m out. I…
