Approximately 3 hours was spent working from El Beit on Bedford today. Making phonecalls, scheduling meetings, research etc.
A steady stream of stylish hipsters on the sidewalk sporting their latest spring fashions, creative energy abound, and warm sun beams on my face...it was all quite enjoyable.
Working as a photo rep and living with a roommate who is a photographer, makes doing my job from home a touch complex at times...as far as privacy and confidentiality.

Rename this blog!
Taking suggestions for a new blog title. It came to my attention that after surviving your first year in New York City, one should no longer be considered "in training"...at least in my case.
This week...
In addition to the CJA Mixer on tonight, my Birthday celebration on Wednesday, Adhesive on Thursday, and the AIPAD Photo show...
My Mpls homeboy Will is coming into town!!
Will is an electrical engineer...likes ramen, booze, his wii, and has impeccable taste in music.

Cherry Tavern
Speaking of living economically...I will be at Cherry Tavern tonight enjoying a Tecate and tequilla shot combo for $5.
E 6th St btwn Ave A and 1st
Loving their profile on NYmag.com...
"The Cherry Tavern allows the unpretentiously thirsty to carry on with excellence the vanishing East Village tradition of shooting pool, getting drunk, getting phone numbers and going home. Poker-playing-dog pictures, '70s porno-mag-style wood paneling and furniture just comfortable and sturdy enough to keep you off the floor make this tiny room so loser-friendly it's hard to believe you're not in Red Hook..."

Pep Talk....
New York life has become a little stressful...winter blues are hard to shake when its still cold, and the economy is pitiful. And as most are aware, a tight cash flow = less drinking, no eating out, no shopping, and staying away from covers and admissions...boooring.
Many nights have been spent at home a) because every time I step outside I spend money, and b) because it's still fricken cold out there! This has lead to a lot of spare time devoted to work, which is fine because I love my job, but it also means not enough time has been spent enjoying this amazing city...and that makes me sad.
That said...this weekend, I'm starting my workout regime, getting a hair cut, going shoe shopping, and perhaps dragging out the camera (which has by now gathered an inch of dust) and starting up a new project.
Life can still be sunshine and roses during a recession in New York, you just have to find the most economical way to make it happen!

Nerd Alert
Recently came across this spot on Glossy.
An IT genius over in London built a computer out of 24 256 MB flash drives, 6 TB in total, which basically makes it the fastest computer like...ever. Over 2000 GB a second! The computer opens 53 programs in 18 seconds, and rips a DVD in 0.8 seconds...0.8!
I'm in awe.

Came across an interesting blog yesterday...rachel-levy.com. Rachel blogs about topics pertinent to social media, job searching, and networking.
Topics include "How to build a following on twitter", "Using social media for a job search" and my favorite "How to network effectively".
Some interesting and informative reads, if I might say so.
