Spending some time redesigning my blog. It’ll be here soon.

An NYC Taxi Cop Car
Posted by Greg T. on February 11th, 2009 in Nerd Stuff, New York, Videos. 2 Comments »I was walking home from work, crossing 3rd Ave. at St. Marks and saw something strange. An NYC Taxi had pulled someone over. I’ve become numb to sirens, flashing lights, loud noises or other city static but there was something odd about this situation. There were several guys in between the two cars, but none of them appeared to be cops. Had this taxi driver modded his cab to give people who cut him off a scare? I went into a Starbucks to get a closer look. The guys were actually under cover cops…like in the movies. They were dressed in street clothes but had their badges on a chain around their neck (visible in the video). They gave the guy a ticket and that was that. You can see them drive off in the video, note the lack of Taxi ID/Duty light on the roof.
MOMA Mondays
Posted by Greg T. on February 10th, 2009 in New York. No Comments »The MOMA has started something they call MOMA Mondays–they’re open until 8:45, have a cash bar, DJ, and there are no strollers or kids allowed…or at least that’s what I enjoy about it. I’m going to make use of my membership by going to every MOMA Monday.
Here’s a section of photos from Tehching Hsieh’s “Performance 1.”
Being sick in NYC isn’t that bad…
Posted by Greg T. on January 28th, 2009 in New York. 1 Comment »Day 3 of being sick. I haven’t left the apartment in 3 days, I’m praying that I don’t wake up tomorrow feeling like my joints are being electrocuted. But being sick in NYC isn’t so bad. I got way too much delivery from Veselka. Christian was kind enough to pick me up a bunch of naked juices from the bodega. I think I’ve kicked my caffeine addiction on account of not having had anything caffeinated since Sunday’s awesomeness. Ok, hoping tomorrow is less fluey.
It also snowed and since melted while I was under quarantine. When it snows in the city it’s somewhat of a paradox because it’s first really beautiful then it’s chillingly sloppy.
That’s a Whole Chicken
Posted by Greg T. on January 25th, 2009 in Food, New York. No Comments »I like to make a whole roast chicken every few weeks. It makes for ridiculously juicy breast meat and provides a great carcass for making stock. I like to buy my meat in Chinatown because it’s way cheaper than Whole Foods. However, the chicken in Chinatown comes with some extras you don’t normally find. Also, there’s definitely no organic or free range certification and the meat tastes a bit gamier.
Pipilotti Rist: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) at the MOMA
Posted by Greg T. on January 24th, 2009 in New York, Videos. No Comments »I renewed my membership to the MOMA. My mom got me a membership to the Met, which is awesome (thanks mom!) except that the Met is a “suggested donation” of $20 aka $1 per visit. I’m going to go to the Moma at least once a month, perhaps for their Monday cocktail, open til 8:45pm nights.
Here’s Pipilotti Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters):
