  • Typical New York City driving

    First, the black Honda sedan pushed me out of my lane and into an on-ramp. Immediately after, an Access A Ride van slowed way down from about 50 to 20 and after I changed lanes to pass, pushed into my lane from the right. I had to cross halfway into the left lane to get…

  • Roy Lichtenstein, “Girl with Ball 1961”

    I was surprised to find out this artist was painting back in the 60s. I just assumed it was modern (2000s) pop art and was a print, not oil on canvas. His art impresses me more now.

  • Japan’s Homeless Population

    I knew Japan had homeless people, but I didn’t think it wasn’t quite this bad. I’ve previously seen shows with people who were suffering from situations of homelessness, but they were taken care of by Japan’s social services system and had been placed in temporary housing. It was a long time ago and I barely…

  • “Verify your payment method” loop on Mac OS

    This is the train I would take if I used the subway to get to work. But I don’t take the train because, despite what the mayor and MTA officials have been saying, it’s not safe to use the subway system in New York City. They know it. We know it. They won’t police the…

  • The surrounding darkness

    As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

    Looking at the majestic sea makes my heart beautiful. Coupy Channel

  • YouTube Rabbit Hole – Honda N Vans to Camper Vans

    So, we started out watching a video about a girl going on a trip in an N-Van to a tourist destination in Japan, then watched the couple in the video above ride an actual Thomas the Tank Engine steam train in Japan followed by a stop at a scenic suspension bridge, and then I wound…
