If you’re using a Mac, that’s lame.

At the new Yankee Stadium.

10:50: Schools are marching in. How many schools does NYU have?  What are we up to, 17? 18? Link: Schools at NYU.

10:57: The band sounds pretty good.  Each school’s delegation is still marching in.

10:58: The NYU torch is being carried in, followed by bagpipe players (at least 14) and drummers, the NYU Pipe & Drums.

11:02: NYU President John Sexton marches in, with the delegation behind the Pipe & Drums.  A moment after, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton marches in also.  John Sexton is wearing a NY Yankees baseball cap.

Death toll from 1976 "swine flu" vaccine: 25
Number paralyzed with "Guillain-Barre syndrome" from vaccine: around 500
Remember this before you get your "swine flu" vaccine next month.


It's incredible the reaction people have to this thing; some people become ultra paranoid, some reject alarmist tones. A few people have a measured response of preparedness and increased awareness.


Some joke about it:

"It was once said that a black man would be president when pigs flew. Well behold 100 days into his presidency, swine flu!"

I could write more and get more nuanced but I don't think it's as important a subject. I just wanted an excuse to reflect on people's viral reaction.

I have to say that I read another blogger’s blog and was so delighted and inspired by reading it that I wanted some of that to rub off onto my blog, so I took the format of one of the entries in that blog and made my own entry in that style.

If you wonder what I have been up to, you may want to check out the following:

Direction takes zero time and effort, to simply put a focus on one thing versus another, and requires no pre-existing motivation or discipline.  Disciplined and motivated behavior results from direction, a choice to consistently focus on one.

David Allen calls this productivity principle number 78.

The building has been half rented by NYU and half vacant for years.  Remember when Nobody Beats the Wiz had a store there?  Years ago, ‘member?  Well, that prime ground-level retail space with lots of Broadway foot traffic (McDonald’s is next door) has been vacant for a long while.  That space will soon be occupied by NYU’s bookstore.

Breaking up isn’t so hard to do when it means freedom from inane critical commentary, political maneuvering, hurt feelings, bad chick lit and even worse chardonnay.

There are two condo boards of this northeast Bronx complex, which contains 12,271 apartments in 171 buildings

(Verizon will start providing FiOS TV and FiOS Internet services to some residents by year-end 2008.  Verizon's agreements with Parkchester are the company's largest to date (oct 2008) in the urban multiple-dwelling-unit market.)

Built in the late 1930s, Parkchester was the first housing community developed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and served as a model for the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village complexes in lower Manhattan, whose residents -- in 11,232 apartments -- can get FiOS services today.

The Parkchester complex is situated on 129 acres of landscaped pathways near the Bronx Park, site of the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo, and within walking distance of many retail stores. The complex has basketball courts, playgrounds, handball courts and a ball field, and Parkchester's recreation department offers workshops and classes to its residents.
