New LIC park is unbelievable
This new waterfront park at LIC's East River coastline is absolutely unbelievable.
There are now 'enough' parks in LIC, though there appear to be a whole bunch more in the works.
Go 11101.

Tech products of the 6am subways
If all you do is get to work around 10am, ride Metro North, and shuffle on Madison Ave, you are missing some people.
On my normal routes, I now see as many Kindles as I saw iPods in 2002-2003. Same for iPhone and Blackberry. I see 3-4 per train car. This means a lot -- I'm getting on when it's full load coming out of Queens. Lots of secretaries and working class adults -- yuppies or postcollege brats. I'm sure those Upper West or Williamsburg lines are nuts.
But on the 7 at 6am, it's 75% young males going solo -- probably to some really blue collar gig like busboy, stockroom clerk, deli hand.
No kindles. No smartphones. They have iPods now -- a few alternate brands, but definitely iPods. One PSP. Not even a lot of newspapers (the free dalies don't start this early).
I also didn't see a single one take out a cell phone at this hour. Maybe it's just early or they aren't exactly playing games on their slider hybrids.
Also, there is a homeless person sleeping on the car.

Pascale's imagination
She's 2.5 years now. A few weeks ago, she started changing her bunny rabbit's diaper.
And today...a Lego birthday cake, complete with song and blowing candles.
