Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MoreMmmm Touch It
What will you or won’t you touch in the subway? If you ask me, nothing unless I have to. Sometimes, you’re forced into a crowd of people where you have to hold onto a rail or something while the train is moving. Otherwise, this BlackBerry is the only thing my hands will touch for the [...]

People are all over Mayor Bloomberg’s Congestion Pricing plan. The opponents keep calling it a tax, because the word “tax” sounds evil. In reality, it’s a toll. Sure, there’s an argument to be made about tolls really just being taxes, but let’s call it what it is. It’s a toll for driving in the heart [...]

The slogan underneath reads, “Step up to Select.” Also, “Exceptional Taste. Never Filling.”. I agre with the second statement. The first is BS. Anyway, [...]

What’s your jam?
In a completely unrelated spin off to yesterday’s Sudoku post, we began a discussion about iPod content. Turns out, there’s a lot of other geeks out there like SUBWAYblogger that listen to a variety of podcasts instead of music on their iPods. I have a ton of music on my iPod, but I prefer to [...]

Sudoku
I don’t even know if I’m spelling it correctly…sudoku. Do you “soduko” on your way to work? Today it’s what the crossword was 10 years ago. In either case, I can’t think of anything more stressful to do at any time. I just don’t get what satisfaction a person gets from completing one. Just about [...]
