The view of downtown Manhattan on 9/11/06, posted by alienswede at newyorkers.

The original post, through which one can access his Flickr page.

And then chaossix6's panorama view. A link to the post. He posts great photographs, the kind of greatness that fools a body into thinking it's easy and you with the urge to pick up a camera (or brush, or pen, etc) and try your hand as well.

Late, I know, but I hope you all voted in your local primaries. Your vote is your voice. Funny enough, I didn't get a chance to vote, even though I worked from 5:30AM to 9:30PM at a polling facility. The place I had to cast my ballot wasn't close enough for me to reach without transportation, and my breaks didn't allow me enough time to make it over there. The candidates I would have voted for won, so that's some small consolation. The book I was reading (and managed to finish while there, btw), The Store, had a nice running commentary on the importance of being politically active in the local arena. I'm pretty sure something seeped into my brain during the course of the (longest) workday (ever).

Anyone interested in seeing Jon Stewart and Co. with me? I have an extra ticket to a taping of The Daily Show on Monday, September 25th. It's more like a possible ticket, as seats aren't guaranteed - you have to line up and wait and hope your reservations are called. As long as you get there two hours before they let people in things are peachy keen. Taping begins at 4:45, so we'd have to meet up sometime before 3:30PM, I think. I'll most likely get to the line by 1:30-2, because I'm quite desperate to see Mssr. Stewart anal like that. E-mail or reply and let me know.
