Gothamist: Federal Honors for Tenement Museum

On October 25, 2008 By TJ

I have been to the Tenement Museum twice, and recomended it to several friends. It’s a fantastic place to see and hear how immigrants lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I highly recomend taking a tour, especially if your family came to America through New York.

Earlier this month, the Lower East [...]

Mac Switcher Tip: Why does DNS matter?

On October 25, 2008 By TJ

I’m coming up on 3 months with my new MacBook Pro and I’ve been extremely happy with the simplicity and consistency of the experience. I still use a ThinkPad running XP at work, and have an XP desktop at home, but the MacBook is my machine of choice. I have, however, struggled with some Internet [...]

Visiting Cooper-Hewitt

On October 19, 2008 By TJ

Last weekend, I visited the Frick and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. There were a couple portraits that I immediately connected with at the Frick, but it took me a little longer to appreciate the exhibits at Cooper-Hewitt.

The current exhibition on the first floor is called House Proud. It includes magnificently [...]

Vertigo on Wall Street

On October 12, 2008 By TJ

I saw The 39 Steps on Broadway last Thursday, and had a few good laughs. It’s a clever comedy where four actors portray over 100 characters wrapped up in espionage with an homage to Hitchcock. Even though the play wasn’t related to finance, my mind drifted to the massive losses hitting [...]

Visiting the Frick Collection

On October 11, 2008 By TJ

The Frick has been on my list of New York City sites for quite some time, and today I made the trip. I suggest using the audio guide when you go to get a colorful commentary from the curators. The diversity of the collection is striking. While I enjoyed the paintings, sculpture, furniture, rugs, [...]

Car Free Living

On October 11, 2008 By TJ

In August, I went through the top reasons to get rid of my car. It took a little while, but I finally pulled the trigger and sold the car.

Over the past year, several people have asked me if I wanted to sell the car. At the time my answer was yes, but [...]

Palin Scares Me, Again

On October 1, 2008 By TJ

For some reason, I thought I would stay away from writing about the 2008 election. I wanted to believe the major campaigns would play fair. I expected the presidential race to tell the truth, and avoid smears. I have been let down.

If you don’t read a paper, that’s your choice. If you want to lead [...]

Why can’t we have more transparency? Thanks for the preview, WordPress–I love seeing how the sausage is made.

Top Distractions From Blogging

On September 16, 2008 By TJ

My last post was over two weeks ago. I think I should have something worth blogging about several times a week…what gives? Looking back in my life, there were several times when I started offline journals. I’ve written several serial bulk emails, reports and newsletters, but being a blogger is new for me.

Distraction 1: 2008 [...]

New MFA in Interaction Design Offered at SVA

On August 28, 2008 By TJ

While looking for a way to build my design skills as they relate to online product development and the user experience, I came across a very interesting new program. The School of Visual Arts, in New York, is starting a new masters program in interaction design. It’s not specifically related web interactions, but it looks [...]
