This site is going to go away in favor of the this new site. I'll migrate the blog at some point, but just wanted y'all to have updated links.

Update: Nearly 5 months later and I've finally migrated my old blog.

Just a heads up. I'm re-imagining what this website should be and what I should use this domain name for. Until then, things here will be a bit quiet. Instead, I'm over on Tumblr. (This RSS address will be best for the future.)

As has been the case often lately, I'll be in New York for the day. But this time, I have lots of downtime to hang out and maybe even do something fun. So if you're around and want to grab coffee, drop me an e-mail. Alternatively, if you know of an interesting coffee joint where I can work for a few hours (preferably downtown-ish), definitely drop me an e-mail!
