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 MoreThe MTA is continuing their quest to teach us barbaric New Yorkers some morals. Of course, they are exactly the right team of folks to be in charge of such an endeavor.

This app is freaking awesome. Just another reason I have to get an iPhone. I’ll have to steal my buddies phone and install it on there so I can play with it. According to the website, it doesn’t look like it is out just yet. It seems they are waiting for Apple to approve it. [...]

Subway iPhone Game
Have you played Subway Shuffle for iPhone/iTouch? It’s pretty damn addictive. It’s sort of Rubik’s cube like. Maybe not. It’s sort of hard to describe, but I will try. Basically, you have to move your “train” from one end of the puzzle board to the destination. Along the way, you can only travel on your [...]
