We seem to be loaded with 10th anniversary of 9/11/01 items this week. I think I agree with this post by Linda Holmes, over at NPR’s Monkey See blog, regarding how much we can digest of the tributes and so forth as they appear on television. I’m not sure how much I want to be [...]

… and Probably Should Get the t-shirt to express the survival. Thankfully not so bad; we fared okay. New Yorkers insist on grumbling, of course. Look, I’m not going to second-guess the order to evacuate the coastal areas of the city or whether MTA didn’t need to shut down service. Hurricane Irene could have been [...]

At least the hype (hopefully hype) is exciting. I even got kicked out of the office early, but I work in Zone A, which got ordered a mandatory evacuation and the building’s landlord was turning off the electricity at 5pm. The following embedded video was from a friend of mine, MW. I share it as [...]

Last post on Lawrence Block was here, referring to Ken Tucker posting at Entertainment Weekly about Block’s appearance on the Craig Ferguson show. Thursday night – went to Partners & Crime for Lawrence Block’s book reading/signing.  I had a great time!  The reading and the Q&A were terrific; and I admired how Block was pretty [...]

Last Friday: saw Kung Fu Panda 2. Great movie – entertaining; great art. I thought it was missing a scene (plot-wise), but otherwise fun. However, I do wonder if 3D is going to be everything… Emil Guillermo posts on the AALDEF blog about the retirement of Shaquille O’Neal (recalling the anti-Asian problems of Shaq) and [...]

Over at wnyc radio: on why NYS has no South Asian elected officials – maybe it is a matter of time. Listen also below, the embed of the audio: NY1.com has its APA Heritage coverage – for a week… – still, interesting things: A profile of Corky Lee, the photographer of the NYC APA community. [...]

On cable: I watched a rerun of “Law and Order” – and found that I still mildly enjoyed the episode.  It was the episode where Lara Flynn Boyle as Irritating Reporter and Linus Roach as ADA Cutter used each other (and Cutter was hot while Detective Lupo was sweet, and gosh do I miss Detective [...]

It’s that time again: previews for the 2011-2011 tv season.  Check out James Poniewozik’s post at Time.com about NBC previews, which, after checking them on-line at nbc.com, strangely intrigue me.  But, that’s the trouble of previews – they’re just previews. Poniewozik’s analysis of NBC’s previews also hits on some of my concerns (besides the whole [...]

From NAPABA: call to urge the Senate to confirm Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit. From AABANY: an article by current AABANY President Linda Lin in the NY Law Journal on the APA experience. Some items from NY1 about the growth of APA’s in the five boros: diverse APA groups in Queens and Chinese in [...]

A charming interview on NPR’s Morning Edition with Dick Van Dyke. A hat tip from a friend of mine on Facebook (NS) lead this link to CNN about lawyers who meditate, to balance the work-life stress.  The article, by Amanda Enayati, states that US Supreme Court Justice Breyer told Oprah that he wasn’t really a [...]
