I spent the weekend visiting my parents. Normally, I drive but I dropped off my car to get serviced at their local dealer. This meant taking the train home and you’re looking at the stub given to me by the conductor to show I paid and where I should be getting off.
I read about GlimmerBlocker a while back but never installed it until now. At the time, I figured that installing a system wide http proxy would slow down my browsing more so than Adblock for Firefox or Safari ever did. But after installing and using it for an hour or so, I can’t imagine why [...]

Sun, moon and stars show up with their daily rise and set. The beauty of our celestial phenomena is increased by the accelerated time lapse technique showing the apparent motion of the sky due to earth’s rotation.

My wife’s family has always celebrated Little Christmas. Today’s celebration, like all the others, were at our place and here is what our living/dining room looked like before the festivities began.
This picture reminds me of a Pottery Barn catalog for some reason.

My wife and I are enjoying the last few days of my "staycation" in New York City. Yesterday, we went to the MTA’s Transit Museum where I saw all the old cars used on the Subway and elevated lines going back to 1904!! I was only able to spend about an hour there – not long enough for a history buff like me – but had such a great time I’d want to come back anyway.
This picture is of the straps that used to be used by the passengers to keep steady in a crowded train in 1917. Its where New Yorkers get the term straphangers even though straps were phased out with cars introduced in the 50′s & 60s.
If you have the opportunity to visit the NYC MTA Transit Museum, I highly recommend it – for those staycationers who live here like me or those vacationers who come to The Big Apple for fun – you won’t regret it.
