New York Politics
It looks like the Democrats might recapture the state. All democratic candidates running for office are all in major leads against their republican opponents.

At Long Last
A blog post with meaning! My lack of blogging energy has been due to most of my energy being dedicated to moving. Or rather, finding a place to move to! Apartment rentals in the big apple are few and far between, it seems, so it has been a rather time consuming ordeal. I haven’t found…

Techno Joy
“Man, after all the fun I’ve made (and many others have made) of idiotic PR-speak, there’s still one rep out there who has the cluenessness to send around this buzzwordy email pitch: ‘Please consider a potential review of [Product Name Here], an out-of-the-box Internet streaming solution that combines video with multimedia and web content.’ Dude, I got…
