Dangerous jungle gyms

I thought these had all been ripped out and replaced with "safe" toys.

Thoth Still Going Strong

Thoth is still going strong, year after year. Pants though, instead of his usual loincloth. Must be slightly under the weather.

Tony Mendez Show

I imagine this was for a skit on Letterman, rather than a real show. But who knows, I've heard of worse ideas.

Unusual Views

On one of the first nice weekend days in a while, I went out for a walk and wound up walking on the streets around the Lincoln Tunnel entrances. For some reason, I found this view interesting.

Gazala Place

This isnt a secret since it's been written up, but this place makes a pretty good chicken kebab.

Bold Turn

This was a particularly bold turn. Just go across the sidewalk, it's ok. 10 seconds later, a woman walked by and kicked the side of the car :)

There's a parking lot in between

Custom Signed Trucks

This is pretty smart. It's a way to change the sign on the truck quickly. They just unbolt it and roll it up.

This is the line to replace cable boxes on a Saturday afternoon

Time Warner Cable New York City: Samsung HDTV Settop Box Remote Codes for your Tivo


Just a note for someone trying to make their Tivo work with their new Time Warner Cable Samsung HDTV cable box. Instead of Samsung, you should choose the "Pace" remote control settings.

Dessert Truck

I've been several times now and though I love the idea of it, I havent found any of their desserts to be great, except for their S'mores. Which was a special one time.

Effective Curb

This is one way to make sure there's room to walk. On Friday nights, this is a dangerous area to be a pedestrian.

HDTV Tivo and Apple TV

I've been upgrading components this week. Switching from a series 2 Tivo to a series 3 HD Tivo is an overall win. The multi card lets you record two different shows at the same time. Plus it can record HDTV.

The Apple TV goes along with it really well. Anything on itunes can be viewed and played on your TV.

Plus, I was able to pull several components out (like my old tuner) and donate them, freeing up a lot of space.

New Record Shake Shack Line

Wow!

I was just in the neighborhood, I just couldnt believe how long the line was. I hope the Upper West Side one opens up soon.

Spring has Sprung

Spring appears to have sprung. I hope it lasts more than a few days.

Alma

Alma is a sleepy looking bar and restaurant in what I believe is Carrol Gardens in Brooklyn. It's right next to the waterfront.

The roof deck is quite nice with great views of Manhattan. Plus the guacamole is delicious

Art or Chicken

I can't explain what this truck was, but it looked like a performance piece installation and had a sign for "Chicken" on the back bumper. Either way, quite interesting.

Almost Done

This building has been going up for a while, but it's halfway enclosed now.

April 25, 2008

Bad Lie

I can't complain because I did get a few good bounces off of the cart path, by there was no way I could hit this as is. A short foot wedge allowed me to continue.

Red Hook Ballfields in Summer

Very different from Feb 24, 2006.

Catching up: Sorry for the month absence


I'm about to drop a months worth of photos from April 20th through today May 18th, so please keep scanning through. Enjoy

Bar Boulud

A dramatic brasserie, the food was good, but certainly not cheap or even affordable. I'm glad I went, but wont be making a habit of it.

Cigar Maker

Outside the Cuban restaurant, he was rolling cigars by hand. Fascinating.
