The entrance to my station is a tunnel about a block long, running underneath the hill that holds up the Cloisters. The tunnel is a bit damp on dry days and more than a bit moist on wet days.

But everything I want to do for entertainment always seems to costs money. $85 for the volleyball league I want to sign up for in July. $20+ (really more like $30) per week on comics (yes, ouch, but that's what happens ( Read more... )

A very funny bit that I found on a Slate article about Apple's most recent ad-campaign. The Slate guy doens't like the Apple ads, and I actually sort of agree (they are funny, but not likely to actually convince the target audience) but he provided this link to a video supposedly made by Microsoft employees where they describe how Microsoft ( Read more... )
