The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

656 miles.468 stations. All in 24 hours. At the cost of $2. Two self-proclaimed infrastructure nerds are currently riding the subway rails this morning, in an attempt to break the world record for hitting every stop. Hear the interview here. Ohh, and as you would expect, they set up a Myspace site.

Ahh yes, it is that time of year again. I am refering to “back to school” time. In this case, I don’t mean lunch boxes and yellow buses. Instead I mean booze and frat parties. It is officially the time that the city’s college students return to campus. Right now, it is just the early [...]
