Today I spotted what looks to be another Banksy painting in SoHo, on Broadway and Howard (it’s facing the green patch on this map). Click on the thumbnail to view it larger.

I wonder what he’s trying to say?

I’m curious to hear about the different types of calendars everyone uses. How are people keeping appointments these days? To the comments!

In case anyone’s interested, you can now see what I’ve been posting to Twitter on the top-right of every page on this site. Prepare to be disappointed!

If you’re a professional geek like me, making an important home decorating decision is impossible without firing up the ol Photoshop. A great example of this is the rigmarole I recently went through to make sure a new rug would be a worthwhile purchase. Whether or not you’ll like the rug is debatable, but my Photoshop skills are totally slammin.

This a cool observation, but isn’t it a little embarrassing that nobody discovered this sooner?

As the guy who designed the original NYC Condom, my heart sank this afternoon when I saw about a hundred new NYC Condoms strewn across the street by Broadway and Broome. Let’s show a little more respect for our rubbers, New York.

Here’s another sophisticated poll. Feel free to explain your decision-making process in the comments.

A highly-entertaining activity is feeding random and/or strange snippets of conversation into Google and seeing what you get. Below are some good ones. Feel free to submit more in the comments.

"Looks like we got ourselves a"

"After the bleeding finally stopped"

"That was some fucked up shit"

"was nothing compared to"

"so gross that"

"why the fuck are we"

"and that’s when I had enough"

"that he couldn’t even walk"

"days of shitting"

"his shit tasted"

"got all over the place"

"never in all my life"

"I’m talking everywhere"

"than I’ve ever seen in my life"

Wanna see something gross? You never realize just how dirty your earplugs are until you place them next to a brand new pair. Make sure you’re not eating anything, then click here.

Buttplugs will be covered in a separate entry. Pun intended.

I was going through some old files today and unearthed what looks to be the first web page I ever made, from way back in 1998. It’s for my long-defunct high school blues band, Midnite Blue.

I know this web page looks like a joke (especially because of the reference to Windows 95), but I shit you not, this is 100% all genuine. When I think back to all the domain names I should have been buying back then, it boggles the mind. MY mind!

Anyway, click here to view the page.

Another exciting poll to thrill and titillate you!

I’m always curious to know where people are looking at this site. So I made a cheesy off-the-shelf poll. Isn’t it beautiful? Please participate if you can.

I spotted this on Broome Street today. For whatever reason, these pieces of wood were covering an open doorway in the sidewalk outside a Chinese welding company. It’s quite possibly the funniest thing ever.

Volatile Subject Alert: I’m not taking a side here, just voicing a thought I had today. I think that regardless of your political persuasions, this post poses an interesting question.

If the current administration is so power-hungry and has done even half of the truly deplorable, conspiracy-laden, dishonest things it’s thought to have done by many Americans (like the 9/11 conspiracies, anthrax attacks, election rigging… that type of stuff), then do you really think they’ll be complacent in letting a Democrat like Barack Obama get elected into office?

Either The Powers That Be are planning some really spectacular terrorist attack(s) to scare us into voting Republican before the November elections, or they’re not as bad as the conspiracy theorists say they are.
