  What’s it like to have four jackhammers outside going at it at once?

  

  Like this, plus the brain-rattling noise. Earplugs are futile against this beast.

  
  

• AT&T iPhone Campout – WTF?

  Jul 10, 2008 tagged as campout, iphone, NYC, waiting

  Hi.  See those two over there by the door of AT&T? With their cute his and hers umbrellas?

  

  Yeah.  They’re camping out for the iPhone.  I saw them show up around 9:00 this morning.  To wait.  Untill tomorrow at 8:00.

  …AT AT&T(!)

  What happened to “people [being] much more chill [this year]“?

  
  

• Long-Term Payoff

  A cab for change, the Prius hits New York. And considering the gas prices we’re seeing, I bet this $25k investment pays off in three months.

  
  

• “To Which the Wise and the Honest Can Repair.”*

  Jun 28, 2008 tagged as arch, construction, history, NYC, Washington Square Park

  The arch was finished for, what, a total of three days before they broke ground on the construction monstrosity at Washington Square?

  

  Here’s some literally broken ground.

  

  I’m late to the party, but Washington Square Blog gave a tour of the park today at 12:00. (I’ll let you know sooner if it’s offered again.)

  

  *Washington’s words, the inscription on the arch:

  Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God.
