T-Minus 2.5 Hours

Jul 08. 2010

An hour-long TV special devoted to where a basketball player will play this coming season seems rather silly, doesn't it? But you can bet that I, and millions more, will be watching. Almost all sources point to LeBron having chosen Miami. There are even rumors that he's booked six cabanas that the W Hotel South Beach this weekend to celebrate his decision. However, I still have hope that he'll choose New York. That he'll man up, take up the challenge and help bring the glory days of basketball back to the Big Apple. Mike Lupica of The Daily News agrees:

So here is this moment, after nine lost years, all the losing nights and the bad basketball and the nights when the only...

Jul 06. 2010

Today is a typical day after a holiday weekend in that there were TONS of goodies to be read and discovered on my Google Reader. Instead of creating a separate post for each one of them, I've decided to do a monster round-up post of my favorite reads of the day.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!   How the Nursing Home for Superheroes Would Look LikeA funny but indefinitely sad sculpture of the lives of aged superheroes.   25 Blockbuster Movies Posters Recreated Using LegoA must-see for any Lego fans!

Chock-full of interesting charts, graphs, maps, and illustrations, the blog is right up my alley. Currently, it is running a series of NYC maps that display the most common type of restaurants by zip code based on The Village Voice Restaurant Guide. As much as I love Manhattan, it is clearly evident that the outer boroughs have much more diversity, with the restaurants to prove it! Via Laughing Squid.

Is the recession still bad in your area?

Jun 19. 2010

J is very fortunate to be working for a company that seems to be bucking the dismal state of the economy. In fact, he is currently looking for a full-time employee to work directly under him, in addition to an intern to help with smaller tasks. The media tells us that the recession is getting better, and that recovery is well underway. However, J still receives hundreds of applications — every day — for these open positions, a great portion of them from those who have more education, more experience, and are even more qualified than him for his own position! image source Yesterday, I read that the NYC unemployment rate for May was 9.6% — down from April's 9.8%.
