Taped over windows, through our back window. Technically, they’re in the evacuation zone & we aren’t. Something tells me Irene doesn’t know the difference…

Ha! Perfect.

On the Waterfront.
Exciting things are happening! Last weekend Ariel and I moved into our place in the Columbia Street Waterfront District. It’s a strange, wonderful little neighborhood with a disputed name — the woman we’re subletting it from calls it Cobble Hill, Michael insists it’s really just part of Red Hook, and we’ve been affectionally calling it “CoWaDis”.

Another big thing happened to me before the weekend; I accepted a part-time position as a front-end designer/developer at PopTech’s DUMBO office. The more I dig into what this organization does, the more exciting I am about it; while at first glance they may appear to be just another TED, much of PopTech’s emphasis is now on actually making things happen. I’ll be helping update the website to better tell this part of the story.

And finally, with a new place to live and a new workplace comes a new commute —  which is one of things I’m most excited about. It’s actually significantly easier and faster for me to get to work via bike than it is via public transportation. That’s because my commute is almost completely through the brand new Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway (which I mentioned earlier). This means I have just about zero excuse not to bike to work every day. 

We made it!
