I just happened to be going through some old photos this morning, and came across a shot of one of his old buildings on the Princeton campus.

Here are a few photos from my first day back to work in NYC after September 11. I chose to walk from Penn Station to the financial district where I worked. NYC was a pretty amazing place in those days. It really brought out the best in people.

Some posters of missing people are stuck to it, as well.Candles and messages all over the ground in Union Square.A few infantry stand by a Hum V not far from the bull statue by Bowling Green park.

As someone who has lived in Kodak-town most of my life, it’s hard to watch what’s happening to US auto manufacturing in slow motion. Some of it certainly is from outside forces, but the outright refusal to compete is going to kill them.

I like buying new, because, I assume, I'm directly supporting the artist. I just picked up a CD player for $40, so I can purchase new CDs and play all my old ones from college. I am curious, though, how the artists’ cut from a CD sale compares to a vinyl sale.

In this case, they're about to show a clip from the 38th minute of the game. So it should be a prime symbol ( ′ ). Seems like someone is overcorrecting changing dumb quotes to real quotation marks.

#typography nerds: Is this supposed to be a prime symbol, or is this a single quote/apostrophe? Should I be enraged by this? #WorldCup
