Someone Really Hates this LinkNYC Tower.
It gets smashed up like this every 3 or 4 weeks, don’t know if it’s the same person doing it. Maiden Lane and Water Street.

I knew a woman for a number of years. We were uncomfortable together most of the time. Conversation stalled and stilted. Little commonality, as hard as she tried to force it into being. Our common ground was drinking and sex....

A woman at the Yamaha grand yesterday made me smile, not for her talent but for her guilelessness. The out of tune piano did not help matters, either, but she really sounded like a clown, hacking at the piano with all her heart...

Spotted this while tooling around on Streetview, comparing it to CycloMedia. I don’t have kids but if I did I wouldn’t want them riding this strange looking beast.

On rain days like today, when it’s just barely raining, I remove my glasses and stuff them into a pocket, or someplace where they won’t collect the litter-like detritus of the gleeky rain. I am always surprised at...

I went over to the public space at 180 Maiden Lane. As I sat at the piano trying to remember if I actually know how to play anything (my repertoire seems always to evaporate, must always be replenished) I summoned the Wichita...

I discovered my trough of hundreds upon hundreds of documents at GDocs. Strange to be so voluminous with so little to really show. I don’t remember much of it, some is a foggy memory. I am reminded, once again, of a couple of...

I’m a creature of habit. A heature of crabit. So when things seemed off this AM I started to question my habitude, my habitudinousness. I couldn’t understand where the light went. I shower with the lights out in the bathroom,...
Read MoreAs Thousands Fall Behind on Rent, Public Housing Faces ‘Disaster’ – The New York Times
One of the main problems lies in how New York legislators designed the state’s now-depleted pandemic rent relief program. Public housing tenants were given the lowest priority of those eligible for assistance because legislators figured they had access to other safety nets. NYCHA residents still applied for at least $130 million worth of aid — but they received none.

I finally got Dex to work last night. Dex is supposed to be a killer app that turns your phone into a desktop by simply plugging it into a PC or a giant TV. I got the PC function to work but had to order a USB C to HDMI...

There is a Yamaha grand at the public space on 180 Maiden Lane. I just played a Philip Glass piece, and messed around with some Bach, all for about 7 or 8 minutes. No one much was there and I mostly drowned in the din from...
