  • I Believe I Have Your Stapler

    When I saw this red Swingline stapler on Amazon I just couldn’t resist ordering it. I absolutely loved the movie Office Space and this stapler is one of the memorable items from the film. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s a comedy and it’s hilarious!

  • Washington Square Park

    My mother’s side of the family has lived in New York City since my great-grandmother immigrated here from Spain (via Puerto Rico) in 1930.  Ever since I was a kid, I came here to visit family every summer and then, about every 2 to 3 years.  My family has always lived in the East Village…

  • Ramadan Workshop at NYU’s Spiritual Life Center

    Wednesday evening, I had the opportunity to visit New York University’s Spiritual Life Center at Washington Square in Lower Manhattan.  NYU has organized a series of workshops that will take place every Wednesday night from last week until Ramadan begins, with each session focusing on a different aspect of Ramadan.  I attended the workshop with…

  • Sweating It Out On The Track

    I should be at home finishing my homework but I really couldn’t miss my Sunday evening run. I have to burn off those extra helpings of curry.

  • The Original Angry Birds? – AMNH Exhibit

    A few weeks ago my wife and I went to the American Museum of Natural History here in New York City.  I’ll post more about that later, but I just wanted to share this image first.  When I saw it, the first thing I thought of was the Angry Birds games.  I think Rovio (the…

  • Burning Out Stress on the Running Track

    When I was living in Singapore, my wife and I would go jogging 3 times a week or more.  Even though it was hot over there all the time, even at night, it was exhilarating.  Besides being in good shape, every time we would run and hit our target, it gave us a sense of…

  • Weekend Outing to Times Square

    This past weekend was the only weekend in my one and a half week break between the end of Spring Semester and the beginning of Summer classes.  I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.  My wife was encouraging me to relax and have a good time.  I was thinking about doing some heavy reading…

  • Migrating From Blogger to WordPress [Under Construction / Expect Errors]

    Hi.  You’re probably looking for something and found this generic web page instead.  I’m in the process of transferring my Blogger blog to a self-hosted WordPress solution with Dreamhost.  Check back in a few hours and, hopefully, I’ll have this thing up and running. The hard part is over, I think.  I had a hell…

  • Moving To WordPress

    I’ve finally found the time and the motivation to get this blog moved to WordPress, so if you notice some funkiness over the next few days, that’s why.  Also, if you don’t see any posts from me for a couple of weeks, then you may need to update your RSS feed, though I’ll try to…

  • Deir Yassin and the Flight of the Palestinians

    This is a paper I wrote for an undergraduate history course called Modern Middle East.  I was taking a very involved course on the Arab-Israeli Conflict at the same time, so my papers for the Modern Middle East class focused on Palestine and Israel as well.  The paper was given 15/15 points.  I’d like to…
