  • Rockefeller Center and the Christmas Tree for 2013

    My wife and I went to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular yesterday night and while we were in the area we decided to look around Rockefeller Center. There are Christmas lights up already, which is nice, and the tree is already in place, but it is surrounded by scaffolding. Judging by the pile of…

  • Twitter Banner on New York Stock Exchange on IPO Day

    My wife took these photos this morning. She said it was ok for me to try to take credit for them. 😉 I’ve seen a lot of people saying they think Twitter’s stock is overpriced, but didn’t a lot of people say the same thing about Facebook? I was under the impression that turned out…

  • The October “Zombie Apocalypse” Loot Crate

    Getting a monthly box of surprise goodies every month is always a lot of fun. Sometimes, the anticipation is better than what actually comes out of the box, but this month the guys at Loot Crate really outdid themselves. I really love zombie movies and zombie shows, so the theme of this month’s box (“Survive”)…

  • Key Shop Cat

    This fat, happy cat was watching very carefully as I walked past his key shop with my dog. I’ve been in there before to ask a question about deadbolt lubricant and didn’t see him then. He must have just been napping, because he obviously knows where home is.

  • The Brooklyn Botanic Garden (Photo Galleries)

    Brooklyn Botanic Gardens Map Last month on the 29th my wife and I went to the Brooklyn Museum. Since we were there, we decided we should take a look at the Botanic Gardens, which are right next door. It wasn’t really the season for it. The place is supposed to be a lot nicer when…

  • The Brooklyn Museum Photo Gallery

    I never would have guessed there was another big museum out in Brooklyn on the north end of Prospect Park, but some friends of ours asked us if we wanted to meet up out there and take a look around there and the Botanic Gardens. It turned out to be a really good trip. The…

  • The September 2013 Loot Crate

    The monthly loot crate was a welcome distraction from my homework. I can’t say I loved everything in the box this time around, but the Stimpy plushie, Simpsons keychain and Andy Warhol-esque Stormtrooper magnet are pretty cool.

  • Keeping Busy This Semester

    Fall Semester started and, as expected, the amount of free time I have available has dropped to next to nothing. Of course, that’s partly expected, and partly because I’m taking five classes again to get the most bang for my GI Bill buck. This semester I’m taking: Arabic 3 Hebrew 1 Jesus the Jew: a…

  • Chabad Succah in Union Square for Sukkot

    My wife and I were downtown last Thursday to get some supplies from Petco. After shopping, we were cutting across Union Square to get to a subway entrance that’s closer to the L train when we saw a booth set up. My first thought was that it was the beginnings of the Christmas market. I…
