Being in the Moment

I’m alive! As some of you may notice, there’s been quite an extended radio silence on my blog. No I didn’t fall off the cliff somewhere.  No I didn’t get sick.  Okay, one day I did.  I can’t even pull an excuse out of nowhere…

Street Art Spotted: Bogotá, Colombia – Part 2

The Crack is Wack Playground in Harlem

In a city like New York where public transportation is readily available 24/7, there are some things one stumbles upon only while driving or as a passenger in a yellow cab. It’s never fun sitting behind the wheel stuck in traffic when I can easily…

I decided to start a new series called “Links & Things” on my blog.  It’s pretty self-explanatory: I have severe Bright Shiny Object Syndrome so when I’m not being productive online, I can sometimes spend hours reading and clicking through from one site or blog…
