Who wants to watch a 20 minute documentary on Ghostbusters filming locations in New York City?
Besides Frank.
Lifting Update!
I haven’t talked about the gym on here in a while! I’ve still been going, though not with the dedication I had been. I took 2 weeks off before I moved, though I’ve gone 3 times since getting in my new place. I’m very much trying to get back into it again.
The lack of seriousness showed up on my lifts. Before I moved, I was pretty comfortable at 170lbs squat, a little...

Is all of that geared toward weight loss? #5 mentions putting on weight. I’m not trying to be a muscular bodybuilder. I’ll be content with just basic healthiness.
I know caffeine is bad, but coffee is my best friend. Can I find a happy medium?
How good or bad is seltzer? One big thing I need to do is cut back on bullshit sweetened beverages, and I think it’ll be easier if I can...
Chris Christie on his ‘confrontational tone’.
I like the cut of his jib.
Rafael: lover, fighter, comedians

Rafael was the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I mean yeah, Leonardo would always pay the pizza guy, Donatello could build pretty good bongs out of the stuff you might find in a sewer, and Michelangelo occasionally did not make you want to punch him in the nuts. But Rafael kicked ass, took names, and he did it with a pair of miniature tridents. He had the temperament of...
4 Nerds Who Don't Get It
Four Nerds and a Cry to Arms Against Facebook
The recent hot trend in the tech community is hate Facebook. See, nerds loved Facebook when they were the scrappy up and comer facing off against the big guys like Microsoft and Google. Now that Facebook owns the social web, the same nerds are now angry and getting in a huff; yelling about privacy on blogs and message boards, threatening to quit...
Outlook of the Poet
Anyone who skipped Outlook of the Poet after Harold Night missed the best improv show I’ve seen in a long, long time. Andrew Yurman-Glaser and I spent the rest of the night trying to comprehend what just happened. I can’t really even explain the plot; it was just so wonderfully absurd but logically constructed from simple agreements. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my...

1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave “hello, world” into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization.
1842 - Ada Lovelace writes the first program. She is hampered in her efforts by the minor inconvenience that she doesn’t have any actual computers...
To Japan
jhnmyr:
I work in the dead of night… En route to Tokyo, armed with a Canon 5D and my super-trusty Leica M9 and lens assortment. Meeting up with 13th Witness. We’re gonna take it higher on the visual end of things… Stay tuned.
Shit guys, John Mayer got high.

Times Square has been evacuated →

It’s Friday. I’m wondering if this was just someone who works near Time Square wanting to get out early.
I’m glad I live in Brooklyn and work mostly in Chelsea.
Given that all this crap started as soon as I moved into the area, I can’t help but feel somewhat responsible. Sorry everyone!
