In Other Words . . .
Whew, tough weekend. The Yanks delighted Bostonians by losing three straight in Fenway and in ridiculous fashion. They just lost to Tampa last night because the team's pitching is simply awful. ARod has silenced all doubters in the meantime, slamming another two homers at Tropicana Field. Anyway, a little excitement this weekend as I ran out to pick up the new copy of WIRED. Don't forget I'll be doing double duty this Thursday and Friday while Jen and Jake are in San Francisco accepting accolades. Let's get on with the links:
Early Morning Contest to Light the Empire
Two contractors get up early or stay up late shining test colors and patterns on the upper floors of the ESB.
Extra, Extra - 4/20/07
Firfighters finally get to try out some cool new gear when window washers are trapped outside a highrise, daffodils are the new city flower, and all sorts of other stuff.
Stung By Closure, A Chef Seems Paralyzed to Re-Open
An older french chef's mental mise en place is messed with by the Health Dept. and now he's not sure if he can ever re-open his famous restaurant.
Rose Bends the Mayor's Ear
101-year-old mugging victim Rose Morat gives those two whippersnappers Mayor Bloomberg and police commissioner Ray Kelly a piece of her mind and everyone loves it.
Beware of Roommates Installing "Air Cleaners"
A woman sues her roommate, who installed a hidden camera in her bedroom with obvious consequences.
Daniel Radcliffe to 'Apparate' on Broadway Stage
Young girls love Harry Potter and horses, but Danielle Radcliffe plays a character who abacinates a stable of horses and then swings his junk on stage, so leave the kids at home when his play comes to NYC next spring.
Creeping US Out
When are middle-aged men going to realize that it's a horrible idea to cruise the Internet offering young girls cash for sex lessons? That's what the food court at the mall is for. Sheesh!
Bloomberg to City Drivers: Pay Up, You Can Afford It
Mayor Mike can't even wait 'til Sunday's Earth Day address to drop the coy act in regards to the congestion tax that will charge Manhattan drivers $8 to sit in traffic.
McGreevey Divorce Gets Contentious––and More Public
The details of the divorce between the former NJ Governor and current "gay American" Jim McGreevey and his spurned wife, gets dirty and interesting. All in the interest of their young daughter, of course.
Ratner Free to Proceed With Demolition
More legal wrangling over the future of the Atlantic Yards Development project in Brooklyn with the advantage going to developer Bruce Ratner. When I suggested a graphic to Jen, she came back with exactly what I wanted times ten. I love it.
Extra, Extra - 4/21/07
Sharp ears means that Gothamist's the first large online NYC media source to link to a story about an idiot Met fan who tried to blind Atlanta Braves players with a high-powered flashlight. I had to go to Atlanta for a link.
When Co-op Boards Say "No", They May Have to Say Why
Good tips for what not do when showing up for your co-op interview: don't dress like a hooker or with a security detail that suggests you will be an assasination target in the near future.
Boys Town
Downtown Manhattan is like a big frathouse except with huge bonuses and probably hookers instead of date rape.
Tree-mendous Plan for Cityscape
Mayor Bloomberg wants a million trees planted around the city over the next decade. Just pay no attention to the one's we're buzzsawing on 5th Ave. this week.
Day One of a 1000
A look at the boyfriend-girlfriend team that plan on sailing 1000 days straight without landing or stopping for re-supply. The first blog post reveals that the girlfriend has never actually gone sailing on an ocean before.
Adventurer Returns Home
That Indiana Jones-looking guy from the History Channel is actually an Upper East Side native and city kid.
Construction Barriers Are Your Friends
Man leaves OTB in the middle of the day, proceeds to fall into giant hole dug by ConEd crew. Family swears he never drank, but the consensus is that he was doing all his drinking at the OTB.
Extra, Extra - 4/22/07
Hint to prospective bloggers: always finish a daily wrap-up entry with something that engenders fury and indignation. It keeps people warm at night.
Kick Map Finds Its Way to the MTA
For some reason I thought this was going to be a bit of a non-starter, but was actually hugely popular. It's about a guy trying to develop a new subway map.
DOT Plan For Grand Army Plaza

If you hate your job, consider this: after Ricki Lake filmed herself giving birth in the bathtub in her West Village apartment, she told her assistant to clean the tub. Also, Gov. Corzine intends to run NJ by remote control from his bed.
That's all for now! Check back soon for original Lexiphane.com content and more links to my day job.

GET WIRED
I recommend everyone pick up the latest (May) issue of WIRED Magazine that hit newsstands this weekend. In its 2007 Rave Awards (p.129), the magazine selected 22 individuals who were changing the world. Some of them: The Allen Brain Atlas (team that genetically mapped the entire brain of mice), Alfonso Cuaron (director: Pan's Labrynth, Children of Men), California's Gov. Scharzenegger, J.K. Rowling (author: Harry Potter books), and Jen Chung (Gothamist.com co-founder). The last mention, of course, is my employer; although she certainly doesn't seem like a boss when I'm working with her, perhaps because we've emailed off and on for so many years on a friendly basis. I won't overpraise, lest I be accused of brownnosing. I will say that I enjoy my time at work a great deal and am not at all surprised that Jen, Jake and Gothamist.com are being recognized for their work thus far.
Jen and Jake are heading to San Francisco this week for some Rave Award recognition events. I promised I wouldn't throw any parties while they were away or burn the site down, so expect increased posting from me Thursday and Friday, as well as the now-usual weekend festivities.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Highlight of the week: being the first local blog to catch on to Sludgie the Whale in the Gowanus Canal. Lowlight: VTech shooting and Sludgie dying suddenly. Increasing use of the photoshop skills in this week's entries. Let's take a look:
A Little Competition Never Hertz
Hertz stats an hourly rental service in NYC to go head-to-head with Zipcar. I guess that it will probably come down to customer service, like car availability, and the commentors agree with woeful tales.
Extra, Extra - 4/17/07
Staten Island Ferry passengers are tossed by story seas and slamming into the pier, a kid is shot in the neck and no one's talking, and a Chinatown apartment is trashed by hipsters.
Blackberry Jam
RIM's network gets dunked overnight and Blackberry users may have to consider alternate modes of communication, like speaking.
C-eau-ney Island
Downtown perfumer designs a scent inspired by Coney Island, but you can't smell the hot dogs or fried clams.
Clear for Takeoff on the East River
Mayor Bloomberg wants to turn NYC's waterways into runways using and I reminisce about Howard Hughes' 'Spruce Goose'. Some commentors are almost fooled by my photoshopping.
Extra, Extra - 4/18/07
Gondola between Brooklyn and Manhattan via Governors Island is still in the works, the search for the Hamilton Heights rapist-torturer draws closer, and a to-do over naming streets in the City Council.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Wow, that was a quick week, amazing how time flies when one is busy. It seems like everyone survived the great Nor'easter 2007 in okay shape. Houseboats floated, flights were cancelled, a few basements got leaky, but they still ran the Boston Marathon and the Yanks were at McAfee Stadium in Oakland, high and dry so to speak. Shall we get to the links? Yes, lets:
Extra, Extra - 4/17/07
It's a good thing Sharpton got those death threats from deranged Imus fans because he's upped his personal security and has police protection. No offense to Liev Schreiber or Eric Bogosian, but people who love and hate shock jocks don't kill people. Rappers, however, some of those guys'll kill you for real!
Grass To Be Cut In City Parks
Jen threw me this one after I dug up an amusing graphic of Grass perfume by Demeter. I do the math and wonder what the city is thinking replacing grass in city parks with artificial turf when the investment won't break even for 100 years minimum, but probably closer to 150 years.
Reasons To Stay, Reasons To Move
I actually made this graphic myself using PS Elements and used it as the basis for a perennial story about comparing the cost of living: what it takes to live like a Manhattanite earning $100K in different cities. Living like a bum is still pretty much the same everywhere.
Extra, Extra - 4/15/07
A great photo tops a list of stories, including a car flying off the West Side Highway and Trump's son not reacting well to "You're fired!"
It's Not Like Water Falls Out of the Sky, It Costs
NYC's got water problems as taxpayers are gonna have to fork over another $200mn to get their billion-dollar filtration plant built. And Bloomberg is pissed because the city council figured out how to fix the water scofflaw problem is to just raise rates on the people that do pay.
Hunts Point Residents Are Anti-Jail
Who does want to go to jail, anyway? But this is about the Bronx neighbors who don't want a house of D built in the lot they reserve for illegal dumping. The arguments of planners in these cases always strike me as vaguely racist or downright condescending as they explain "We're practically doing you people a service, as you won't have to travel all the way to Rykers to visit your father/brother/sister/cousin."
Arabic-Themed School Generates Controversy
What do you get when a woman wants to open a non-religious magnet school to promote bi-lingualism, cultural understanding, and name it after a Middle Eastern Christian man who grew up in the U.S.? You get called an Islamist nut. Critics say it'll churn out grads with a pro-Arab, anti-American frame of reference. If a NYC public school can churn out graduates who can even locate the Middle East on a map, I say go for it! Hearts and minds is a college-level course anyway.
Woman Rund Down By, Trapped Under SUV
That walk signal is meaningless. Like your mother always told you: look both ways before crossing the street.
Dummkopf
Mostly a lesson in Bronx appreciation after a German Army instructor tries to motivate a recruit holding a machine guy to pretend he's being yomamma'd by a bunch of black guys in the Bronx. Seriously.
Nor'easter Of The 21st Century
Everyone was eyes-open awake the morning I tried to post this and a server switch sent the whole apparatus hobbling on stilts. Fun look back at how differently--or not at all--the city approached impending weather disasters 15 years ago.
Extra, Extra - 4/14/07
I pick on a former pitcher for beating a cat to death and slamming his girlfriends around; consensus: hot guys can do that. The mysterious red pickup and its driver, who started the whole Corzine-crash phenomena is found.
Panama Murder Mystery
A Staten Island woman is found dead, dismembered, and set on fire in a Panamanian soccer field. Local cops correctly figure the butler (female employee) did it.
Keeping Starrett City Affordable
I wonder if Sheldon Silver was thinking "get the hell off my podium!" when U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer hogged the spotlight at an announcement over State Assembly legislation. Hey Chuck, if you want to be a state senator go for it, but they don't get the capital letters.
Sharpton's Death Threats
Sharpton is triumphant in getting Imus booted from the airwaves and now some of the latter's deranged fans want to get all Biggie-Tupac about it.
He-A Culpa
A pun so bad, I emailed the publisher to make sure it was usable, half hoping he'd talk me out of it. Nope.
Metallic Nature in City Park
Just a photo-post of a piece of artist Roxy Paine's installation in Madison Square.
Mill Hil Robbery
You know it's the weekend when not a single commentor writes in to excoriate you for spelling millenium with two n's. Otherwise, it's a crazy story about some tourists from Georgia getting Shanghai'd in a pretty nice hotel downtown.
Stormy Weather Set For Sunday
Basically a PSP (public service post) directing people to online resources for disaster preparedness as the city starts to psych itself up for the nor'easter.
Pols Pay Taxes Too
The Post paws through the tax returns of Gov. Spitzer and SAG Cuomo and we figure, what the hell, count us in.
Hollaback Girls And Then Some
I'm actually very proud of the graphic I created for this post, but the first commentor complains that it's "weak." The only time man-on-woman violence is ever really funny is when it's accompanied by regular use of the phrase "attack of the killer lesbians."
Extra, Extra - 4/13/07
Lucked out with a great black cat photo for Friday 13th. Then late-breaking news that NJ Gov. John Corzine was in a car accident and is seriously messed up. Also, I thought a funny bit about cops and bar owners.
Westward Expansion
Bidding opens for the Hudson Rail Yard, the largest undeveloped bloc of land left in Manhattan. It is real estate bloodsport in the making.
Face-Off!
This was initially much longer, but Jen told me to hack a good portion of it off, which probably made it better.
I'll try to post some more original stuff here this week. Frankly, I'm feeling a little bummed tonight about the VTech shooting. I have no connection to the school or any of the people there; but damn, 32 victims is a lot of dead kids.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Sitting here scoring the Yanks game and Moose just left the mound under injurious circumstances, so let's just go to the links from the past two days:
City Dogs Unleashed
A change in the leash laws brings frothing mad commentors out of the shrubbery, on both sides of the issue.
Extra, Extra - 4/10/07
Alright, I only picked the crazy neon monkey photo for this one and let Jen do the rest. She's nice like that.
Reversal of Fortune? Rent vs. Buy Revisited
Up is down; black is white; The New York Times crunches the numbers and finds renters made out better than home buyers over the last two years. This is real estate apostasy in NYC.
Supermarket Sweep: Electoral Edition
Rudy gets stumped by the old "How much does a can of corn cost?" question while campaigning in Alabama. If Rudy told the truth about NYC grocery prices, his campaign would be over as the rest of the country found out how crazy NYers are.
Extra, Extra - 4/11/07
Dogs, Imus, subway accidents: it's all there.
No Extra, Extra from me tomorrow so I'll try to see if I can squeeze something in during the morning.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Happy Easter! I managed to sneak away from work long enough to hit church and celebrate a young man's early birthday. A-Rod's first at bat, first pitch in fact, after yesterday's walk-off grandslam was a 2-run homer. I haven't caught the rest of the game. It's Easter and it was snowing in NYC today, but let's get to the links:
She's Getting Too Old For This
The 85-year-old woman who was beaten in a highly publicized push-in robbery last month is moving out of her neighborhood 'cause she's too afraid to live there anymore.
Something to Chew On Over Sunday Brunch
The Times looks at the origins of Eggs Benedict and its story is chock full of satisfying tidbits.
Alt-Coffee-Delete
The Times should just inaugurate a once-a-week gentrification section, because here's a story about an Alphabet City coffee shop remaking itself as a more family-friendly environment, e.g., taking the "No ODs Allowed" sign out of the bathroom.
Not Just Happy To See Cops
Transit cops are finding a number of guns and knives on people they search after car hopping on the subway.
The Evictees of 2nd Ave.
It's starting to sink in that the MTA actually intends to knock down UES buildings to start its 2nd Ave. Subway Anti-Project.
"You boo puppets! You hiss villains in silent movies!"
Hecklers ascendant: the rise of the self-appointed critic willing to give you his two cents no matter the time or place.
Sisters Act
Three Brooklyn sisters charged with having a hand in the death of the youngest's infant upon birth.
One Man, One Vote
My favorite of the day: The NYPost finds a doorman who voted for the Clintons before, but now wants to vote for Obama, and puts him on the front page.
Extra, Extra - 4/8/07
Easter ice on the Gowanus, extraditions in the Park and Shoot killing, and a great holiday pic.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
When one works the weekend shift, Friday-Sunday become pretty hectic. Did anyone else get a chance to watch or listen to that Yankees game today? A-Rod is starting to earn some Bronx love with a 3 for 4 performance and a walk. That included two home runs and a double. The capper, of course, was the two-out two-strike walk off grand slam that won the Yanks the whole game. Now to the links:
Old School Is New At The Met
The Metropolitan Museum has expanded with 30,000 sqf of new space devoted to Greek and Roman antiquities.
Release The Hounds
Geese Police in Central Park!
Extra, Extra - 4/6/07
Don Imus is apparently broadcasting under the influence again and a friend shows the opposite of gratitude for his lift to the airport.
Indian Point of Concern
Another unscheduled shutdown at Indian Point is enough to give me and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cause for concern.
Egg-Hunt Rundown
Easter activities at NYC parks!
Leaving Town In A Hurry
When a friend gives you a ride to the airport, you're not supposed to shoot and kill him outside the terminal.
Clarifying Taxi Charges
New graphics are supposed to simplify taxi fare structure. I just go ahead and confuse things more.
Former Fugitive Bucky Talks
One of those weird outlaw-hero stories, except it's set in Western NY and just last year.
Lesser Charge For Playground Killer
13-year-old who killed a kid his own age on the playground is showered with love and sympathy.
New Galleries Open at Brooklyn Museum of Art
Sackler Center for Feminist Art opens at the Brooklyn Museum.
More Trouble For Bell-Shooting Cop
Det. Marc Cooper is now getting sued by a guy he arrested the month before the Sean Bell shooting.
Extra, Extra - 4/7/07
Just tons of fun stuff.

IN OTHER WORDS . . .
I've decided to provide the links to stuff I've done over at Gothamist in a daily post called IN OTHER WORDS . . .. At least I hope it will be daily. If I ever miss a day, I'll lump in the previous day's links with the latest entry. And here are today's links:
Extra, Extra - 4/4/07
Where it's best to change your mind about jumping in front of an incoming train before you leave the platform.
The House of D
New and old residents of a Brooklyn neighborhood have differing ideas of when exactly the good old days were and the Times quotes a guy who's only lived there for four days.
Streets Paved With Gold
I take a look at The Real Deal's examination of the best neighborhoods in each of the five boroughs.
Enjoy!

PARDON THE INTERRUPTION
Some of you may have noticed a disappearing story yesterday regarding NYC's plans to protect itself from nuclear attack. That's not coming back, but it's not for national security reasons and you can still read it elsewhere. The new job as Weekend Editor at Gothamist is going very well, I think. I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I'll also be doing some things for the site during the week as well, like the end-of-day wrap-up post titled Extra, Extra. This will feature stories that the staff didn't get around to during the day or stories I think warrant inclusion at a one-line level. I'll also be contributing full posts during the week if the Gothamist finds itself short ten fingers, or if I, again, see something that seems particularly interesting for the site. I'll still be posting regularly at Lexiphane.com, and also the least I can do is post links to my other work. Come on over and see what's happening. Without further ado, the links:
Extra Extra - 4/3/07
Starbucks in Hot Water With Labor Advocates
I almost got in trouble with this one for relying on the NYTimes to correctly identify a union.
Extra, Extra - 4/2/07
We Need More Cowbell AND Frying Pan
I take a look at an article on some of the finer Mets and Yankees superfans. If you don't understand what the title means, you must watch this.
Keeping NYC Nuke Free
Designed the graphic myself.
Extra, Extra - 4/1/07
"What A Dangerous Man"
A look at the Daily News' labor intensive dirt digging article on "31-Shot Cop" Michael Oliver.
No Cabinet Post For Mrs. Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani backtracks on saying his wife will be too involved with his administration and some more on the former Mayor's Kerik problems.
Brooklyn's Black Gold
Why is oil coming out of the ground at a Williamsburg construction site?

He's not just the mayor, he's the richest New Yorker!
Boardwalk Bulletin
A quick rundown of opening-day activities at Coney Island's boardwalk and perhaps its last.
Church To Hotel: Stick With Chocolate Bunnies
Some people don't like the idea of a naked Jesus rendered in chocolate hung in a hotel gallery, and a lot people hate those people. Lotta love in the Comments section in my debut.

WEEKEND GIG
This entry notwithstanding, posting could be pretty light here on the weekends. I've sold out, been called up, am headed to the show. Call it what you will, but I've taken a paying gig. Even casual readers of Lexiphane.com will know that I'm a big fan of Jen, Jake, et al. over at Gothamist. Fortunately, the feelings are reciprocal and they were nice enough to extend an invitation to become that site's Weekend Editor. Come on over and visit me there every Saturday and Sunday. We're having some good times.
