Admittedly, I am someone who may have watched too much tv – but, in the grand scheme of things, I really don’t watch that much, since I’m still fairly fussy about what I watch. I don’t watch “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette.” I don’t have cable, so I missed the entire run of “Sex and [...]

I liked this NY Times article that critiques the architectural design of the Port Authority’s new PATH station at the World Trade Center site. It’s beautifully written and it makes a lot of sense. For a temporary site (well, temporary to the extent that it’ll be the station for the next four or five years), [...]

I am now husband and wife according to the laws of Malaysia. It’s pretty neato to be married by an uncle of mine . It’s hot here boys and girls! We had a torrential downpour yesterday and it is still awfully hot and humid. Ipoh is hotter than Kuala Lumpur. Hanging out here in an [...]

Flying out of JFK in two weeks, being something of a travel freak, and having a nice evening with no obligations on my hands, I wanted to figure out the JFK AirTrain to see if it was practical and figure out any problems with logistics. The major question that I had was whether it was [...]

Yesterday, I finished reading the medieval England book that I had mentioned previously in the blog. I enjoyed it, and had read the other book in the series back in January. Both books were good subway reading: “The Queen’s Man” and “Cruel as the Grave,” by Sharon Kay Penman (the books’ Amazon links refer to [...]

‘American Idol’ Reject Idolized by Web (AP) William Hung, a Real American Idol OK, so he’s not that good of a singer, but he’s got moxie, and if he can show up Simon, more power to him!

Some articles or news of note: ABA E-Journal’s latest humorous anecdotes about the legal profession. While the post-mortem on the Dean campaign has been going on, writer Paul Gastris in his NY Times op-ed illustrates an obituary for the Wesley Clark campaign. I thought Clark had brought a certain edge to the 2004 campaign (“ooh, [...]
