Notes From the Road ... Jamaica

It sucked. Big time. The hardest, most physically demanding, insanely foolhardy and irresponsible venture ever on NO RESERVATIONS. I hated every second of it.

It’s gonna make great television.

How do I get on the No Reservations crew.

“One of the great wonders of the New World Order is how you can find an internet connection, a cell phone signal, just about anywhere. At a tiny bed and breakfast in a far flung 16th century village in Yunnan Province, high speed wireless that beats what I’ve got in my apartment in New York City. At home, my cell phone kicks out every time I cross Central Park. But in the mountains of Szechuan Province - where they still cook over wood - four bars and clear as a bell. Underneath every djellabah, abaya, burka and kente cloth, it seems, lies a cell phone. In a one horse town in the Moroccan desert, dirt floors, fly-blown market, and little else - there’s an internet café.” Anthony Bordain - My Summer Vacation - Social Studies

Netflix Value Proposition

mascarah:

I am interested to know what people’s average cost per movie “rental” is? For example, since January 1, 2008, I have watched 41 movies via Netflix and I have the $13.99 per 2-movies-at-a-time plan. So I’ve paid about $2.10 per movie including tax. I wonder what $$ per movie most people come in around? Any takers?

35 Movies, $16.99/Month, Member for 4 months = $1.94 a movie

I also have the Roku($99) and have seen 40 movies on that. So including that it is at $2.22 a movie but at that rate will go down fast, as the $99 was one time expense.

“Look, Silas. Life is just blah, blah, blah. You hope for blah, and sometimes you find it, but mostly it’s blah, and waiting for blah and hoping you were right about the blahs you made. And then, just when you think you’ve got the whole blah damn thing figured out and you’re surrounded by the people you blah, death shows up. And blah, blah, blah.” Andy’s dissertation on life on this week’s episode of Weeds (via mascarah)

Best burger ever was the First Burger

Great article on the best burger joint, Louis Lunch in New Haven. Although any true new havenite knows that Birch Beer is the best Foxon Park soda.

Waterfalls on Governors Island! It is almost like I am working in the tropics. It is really cool but they did not consider the wind, half the time it looks sideways. Again, iPhone needs a better zoom, or I need a better camera at work.

The Red Arrows did some pretty cool aerials over Staten Island the other day and then did a few sick flybys up and down the Hudson. The iPhone really needs to get a good zoom.

“In 1968 the whole world was exploding. There was Paris, Vietnam, Grosvenor Square, the counter culture. I think that gave me an edge to put into punk, it was a great year to come of age.” Joe Strummer
