Not feeling well. Spent the afternoon resting. Apparently, resting for me is doing bug fixes on software I wrote in between naps.

MapI’ve built a new theme into my website that fixes the markup mistakes, except the styling isn’t quite right. Will have to work on it.
Okay, photo posting times out on mobile. Back to drawing board.
A friend of mine told me he is working at a chocolate factory. I’m hoping to run out of Willy Wonka jokes soon.
Testing my current project, which includes a simple note posting interface.
At the first Homebrew Website Club in NYC. Hoping to make it a regular thing. Anyone interested for next time?
This is good news.
This is a shame. I’ve been listening to Piamenta for years. Nickname or not, the man is a great performer.
Found the Super Nintendo. Anyone up for a game of Super Mario World?
In the family basement cleaning. Found records. Should I listen to Sesame Street, Classical, Showtunes, records given out on El Al?
I’ve always been a fan of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. It inspired me to read the book…not so good. With a script written by the great Peter Stone, an ensemble cast that included Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, Doris Roberts, Hector Elizondo, Jerry Stiller and Martin Balsam, this movie is truly a classic…unlike the remake.
The author of this piece suggests it is the greatest Jewish action movie of all time, and I’m not quite sure about that. But it has some great lines.
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Leonard Nimoy at a convention some years ago. There were many questions I would have asked him, had I gotten the chance.
While certainly I became familiar with him, like most people, through Star Trek, I remember his work in Never Forget, his poetry, the controversy over his decision to publish his photography, and many other things…I’ve tried to forget the singing.
While, after declaring he was and was not Spock, he’d come to terms with how much his most iconic character resonated with people, and it was never for the obvious reasons. The last thing Nimoy posted on Twitter, 4 days ago, was, “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP.”
In the end, all I can say is what Dr. McCoy said about Spock when he died(although on film, nothing is ever permanent). “He’s not really dead. As long as we remember him.”
As a alumnus of Bronx Science, it is very disappointing that the top ranked debate coach has been involved in such behavior.
I was not on debate, but I had several pleasant conversations as a student with Richard Sodikow, who founded the Bronx Science debate team. He passed away last year. It makes me rather sad that this is associated with such a respected program.
