Snow day in Brooklyn


We were spared snow over the weekend, but it's coming down hard today. Protip: use flash to really show the snow in your pictures (thanks, Alicia!).

I woke up this morning with classes being canceled at all New York City public schools, but Citytech classes still being held. Their website even had a mean message, "Public Transportation is still running, we suggest you use it, but leave time for delays." Not having class today, I was lazy and went back to bed.

I was woken up at 10:30 by a call from one of the full time faculty at City tech (it's part of the notification program the math department set up). Classes starting or ending after 12pm would be canceled.

So it's a full snow day here in New York City. I'm sitting next to the window right now staring at very heavy snowfall. Unfortunately, it won't stick around: tomorrow we've got forcasted temperatures in the high 30's. So I'll sit here sipping coffee and enjoy it while it lasts.

Cool Ad



This is a bus stop vestibule filled with coffee cups. I think it's very clever, as posters normally don't capture my attention. Also, when the light shines through from the other side, it's really pretty.

Tylenol has some great ads. I like being told to "Feel better."

(If you're curious, this is on the north side of 34th street, near the corner of 5th avenue. The building along the right side is the Empire State Building.)
