Adobe Software refocuses - Nerdtastic!
It's a bit hard to understand if you are not familiar with Adobe softwares when watching the first section of this video, but the results are clear. Adobe has created a product that can refocus any image. What is truly amazing is that what once was blurry is now focused. This requires the software to render something that what not originally in the photo. Nerdtastic!

Shweeb - Peddle Powered Mass Transit
Imagine peddling to work, flying over traffic at 50 miles an hour.
The Shweeb, which is said like 40 million times in this youtube video, is an arrow dynamic pod with peddles that glides on a monorail type track. The angle of the track and bullet shape of the pod make it move like lightning.

More than a mess this is the Gowanus
While Brooklyn licked wounds and recanted stories of the epic tornado the Gowanus Canal filled with raw sewage. It's almost impossible to think that even with its' superfund status that the canal still endors going from bacteria green to deadly brown. "Ride the wave".

Tornado Hangover - Brooklyn
Last night I decided it would be a great idea to just run to the grocery store and do some shopping. I even convinced Rob to join me-although it did look like it was going to ran. On our way back from the store we apparently were caught in a freak tornado that caused chaos throughout the city. A video is floating around showing at green sky and what looks to be a wall of clouds moving through Brooklyn; Well that is were Rob and I were, right in that wall of clouds.
We were approaching forth when the rain started coming down. I noticed the green sky instantly, but thought nothing of it, cause it's New York, not Texas. I put up my umbrella and for a moment Rob and I walk under sprinkles of rain. Then the intersection in front of us 'literally' disappeared and we were engulf in buckets of water. Both of us instantly looked like we had jumped in a lake, but not even a lake could made us so wet so quickly. In a lake it takes spit second for cloths for absorb the water, not the same with wind and water at 80 miles an hour. We ran for cover in the Lyceum watching the water and wind that seemed to consume everything.
All in all pretty lucky.
Here's a bit of the neighborhood damage, although city workers have been up all night cleaning because today it is like any other day in New York: Coffee, Subway, Work...

a leg down, a leg up
It's 4:00am Friday, but it could be any day of the week. I am awake even though I am too tired for words. Something has shaken me, stirred me from my dreams. It's not a burglar, nor a call to work, it's my own leg-the remenance of an injury from years ago. My left calf quivers like its be touched by ice or kicked in a fight and my left angle feels like its in a vice. I first try to shake my legs to wish it away, but that only makes the sensation worse; all at once every muscle in my left leg tightens and becomes a massive Charles-horse. I rise up from my bed and hold my leg, then I punch it! I punch it again and again, which makes audible slap sounds in the silent night. The punches cause the muscles to loosen their grip for a moment. During this window of reprieve I get up and start my almost nightly ritual of pacing around the room to undo the tight mass of muscles. I follow the old theory of "walk it off". I start moving back and forth along the wooden floor. My walking first sounds like a pirate on a boat but with every step seems less peg legged and more two legged. With every turn I punch and poke my leg then back to a hobbling. Over and over again I turn and punch, the march. It is a painful and annoying process. Sometimes I bump into things as I pace, but I pay no mind, since I am focused on untangling the mess of tissue inside my leg.
After 30 minutes my leg is back to its regular state-a low hum of pain mixed with a degree of numbness.
In the dark silence I take seat. No one has heard the epic battle that I have just fought. I take deep breath and feel my heart race in my chest. Why am I like this...broken? do people notice that I sometimes walk funny? that I sometimes stubble? That I am not my former self? I never think these thoughts when I am actually walking, because I am thinking to much about walking in itself. I pretend that I am normal by forcing one foot in front of the other, watching and waiting for my left leg to act like a bastard. When I stop at a corner or when reaching a destination if no one seems to have notice the odd pace I have or strange gait, I consider it a victory. Some nights I don't have these victories.
Thinking to much...
The sun creeps in from outside and takes me away from my thoughts. A stream of sunlight runs out from the corners of the window, along the wooden floor, and illuminates my left leg. I can see the scars and dents from my accident clearly. I could stare at these bums and remember the bruises, but the sun keep moving. It goes up my lame leg, up my arm, onto my chest, and stops at my face. The heat of the light warms me, makes me strong, makes me...
I get up from my seat and the light slowly seems to follow me. It's morning now and I could go to sleep. Could dream of times before and just wish it all better. But I am not that way. I can't surrenders to what doctors say or to the parts of me will now always betray. There is a day out there. This morning I will bike and tomorrow I will hike a huge mountain. It'll be a struggle and it will hurt, but I am beyond normal, I always survive, and therefore I am invincible.

Guess it was thought to be impossible that thousands(millions) of gallons of oil, not usually right under the service of the Gulf water, could stay a thick mess and reach land...out of sight, out of mind right?

...Don't really know who this Geraldo Rivera look alike is—some kinda Fox News anchor I guess—but if I ever own a restaurant or any business I will not serve or do business with some racist ass like him or others like him. Racism is not a businesses choice. It should never be referred to as a choice. Having more or less pigment in your skin is irrelevant and saying otherwise is just ignorance.

It's 11am-ish on the border of Park Slope and the Gowanus neighborhoods and you stumble upon an old vintage Fire Truck being lifter by a Fire Tow Truck next to a Fire Ambulance. Guess the old Fire Engine just finally died, but it's still beautiful.
