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.

What’s in your clipboard right now? Go into the comments and paste away!

Regarding that bizarre beheading incident on the bus in Canada (link here), it’s come to light that the passengers were watching a movie when the violence broke out. Any guesses as to what movie they were watching? To the comments!

Every once in a while I click on some spam I’ve received (just for fun) and I’m taken to some bogus site that automatically forces me to download an .exe file. And as a Mac user I just sit back and laugh as I put that .exe file in the trash and go about my business.

I love spitting in the face of danger. Hubris never tasted so good.

Living in Chinatown has been fun so far. But having to watch the butcher deliver pig carcuses to the Chinese food place across the street? Not so fun.

Ok, it’s time for another survey. Like all the surveys on this site, this one will be lots of fun. And mandatory.

So stop worrying about all the ways I can secretly track you down and punish you for not responding to this survey and take a look at your feet. What color socks are you wearing? I only care about your socks and don’t care to know a thing about your shoes, boots, flip-flops, clogs, moccasins, or anything else. If you’re not wearing socks, just say so. It’s all about the socks baby. What color are your socks?!?! To the comments!
