Many of us in New York forget to look up throughout the day, taking advantage of the buildings and the city around us. I learned this weekend that it’s also just as important to be able to look down when you can.
ASCAP is arguing that ringtones aren’t downloads, but public performances rather and that royalties should be paid as such. Don’t ask me about this one.
See the LA Times article for more fun.
I had a post in process ranting about Love, Marriage, Divorce and how it’s all kind of crap anyway, but then I realized I sounded like a bitter, single 27 year old.
But in short form. Why do we still care about marriage? It seems like we should have evolved beyond this now.
I blame TLC.
Frank Sinatra - Summer Wind
Sunday Night Sinatra.
Summer has finally shown its face in NYC, but I’ll be leaving it behind next weekend for even warmer weather (and cheaper beer).

One of my favorite shots from last night. What is it about fireworks that turns most of us into little kids again? New York is great, but I definitely miss the trip to the fireworks stand, the smell of Black Cats, lighting our own fireworks in the middle of the street and running away as quickly as possible so nothing blew up in our face.

This Saturday is my niece Alyson’s 1st birthday. She’s already received my gift, which is the Schoenhut toy piano above. My brother said the first time she made a sound her eyes just lit up. Sadly, it has to stay in the box for now because of some damage during shipping. She’ll be working on some Beethoven, though, in no time.
Also - I get to see this cutie pie in 5 days! I can’t believe it’s already been a year.

This is exactly how I feel about my stuff. I’ve gotten some great advice about how to proceed with dealing with all of it, but I have not come up with a game plan yet. I will, though and feel free to hold me to it. (Thanks, Marco)
