Crowdsourcing - Interview with Michael Sikorsky →
Here’s the draft transcript of the interview with Michael Sikorsky, founder of Cambrian House, that I bellyached about in a previous post.
Crowdsourcing Interview - Signal Through the Noise
Michael Sikorsky was exciting - articulate and inspiring. It was great fun talking with him, so the interview went very well. Would you believe that in this great capitol of ours the reception for AT&T/Cingular is crap? Right in the city and only about 60% of the signal came through. Transcribing this will be an experience like the intelligence “ops” that used to sit in long...
Long Trip from Home
I’m a 62 year old man who just rode a naked Honda 750 up I-95 for 507 miles into Washington, D.C.

Out of brain experience
Woke up completely disoriented this morning. It took several minutes before I could even remember what day it was. I don’t recall that ever happening to me before. Very odd.

How about a few from Jenifer, my eldest & wisest daughter?
Can’t resist. Let’s post some more recent photos.
And to finish the Ariel series off for this morning, my favorite detail for her recent mural commission.
Ariel's NY Photos
