I had a meeting with a client downtown the other day so I walked right past the growing new 1 World Trade Center. Looking good.

Mainstream Media Timeliness
Or lack thereof.
CNN: When did Face become so uncool?
Guys, that happened a long time ago. Get with the program.
The scary thing is they bought the app that is totally cool. So what happens next?

Awesome Rube Goldberg
As an Indiana University alum, I’m programmed to not like Purdue, but it is a good engineering school and this video is hilarious. I love the shouts of “oh please work…” in the background.

You can’t make this stuff up
On Wednesday April 18th the Yankees play the Twins at Yankee Stadium. It’s a promotion night.
Ball Day?
Bat Day?
Cap Day?
No, it’s Tomato Seed Packet Night.
I am not joking…

Racist Timeout
The statistics on how many people get their news from the Daily Show is a tad scary, but honestly, this this humorous part of the Daily Show is a better analysis of the racial elements of the Trayvon Martin killing than anything I’ve seen.

He’s 12
A 12-year-old kid added a new page to the history books of skateboarding earlier this week, pulling off the first 1080, a three-rotation aerial maneuver that has eluded the world’s best for the past half decade.

Puerto Rico
We had been hoping to get a warm weather vacation this winter, but it hadn’t happened yet. Danielle gets two weeks off in March, but we had a lot going on so we weren’t sure what would happen.
At the last minute we booked a quick 5 day trip to San Juan. We had a bit of a budget, but found a decent deal at a nice hotel.
Pre-kids, my wife and I did a Puerto Rico trip where we drove all around the island, finding distant relatives of my wife. This trip was about the pool and the beach.
We meant to get to the El Yunque rain forest, but didn’t make it.
We did get to Old San Juan. And we really enjoyed El Morro. I’d been there a bunch of times in my cruise ship days, but seeing it through the eyes of 9 and 5 year olds was wonderful.
The hotel was very nice. My daughters are both fish, so we basically lived by the pool.
The hot tub had a rule about being only for kids older than 12. Oops.
The beach was good. San Juan is not the best beach place by Caribbean standards, but this hotel had a pretty good beach. And occasionally I get in a picture…
It was hard to leave, but overall a nice and very relaxing vacation.
