NYC, Politics, and Tech
Maybe I can finally buy a new car?:
The Schumer-Israel approach would provide vouchers worth up to $4,000 to drivers who turn in an older car that gets 18 miles per gallon or worse and buys a new or used car that exceeds the corporate average fuel economy for vehicles in its class by 25 percent. Taken together, these two requirements guarantee considerable oil savings and significant reductions in carbon dioxide.

Will and I on a hike (aug 2008)
We went to a Madam X Thu night for a birthday party. Cool place. It ooze’s sex. It’s all black, red, and velvet.
And we had a fun time at Zari’s birthday:

I’ve been using google and picasso for posting photos. It’s pretty nice to add photos to the blog entries. I wish MarsEdit handled photo resizing a little better.
Anyway, I added a new thanksgiving album:
Thanksgiving 2007
It was a great Thanksgiving but I’m afraid I’m suffering from a turkey induced daze today. I really just want to go take a nap. Every year, I’m reminded how silly it is for most businesses (non-retail) to be open on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It’s probably the most unproductive day of the year.
Seriously, I need to organize my vacation time better. Switching jobs left me with two vacation days for the rest of the year. On balance, it’s pretty cool that I’m getting vacation time. I’m using those two days for pre-New Years: Fri (12/28) and Monday (12/31) so I can’t take today off.
Just some photos of the end of winter last year on the beginning of winter this year. We had the first hint of snow today.
This was us along the North Shore of Long Island on one of the first in March, 2007.
We had a great time at a friends Russian style wedding. Lots of great seafood and, yes, vodka.
Also, let’s see how uploading images works.
