Every year, Sports Illustrated has a party to celebrate the Swimsuit Party. This year, it was co-sponsored with Budweiser at Crobar in New York City.

A bunch of folks went to Ruby Foo’s to celebrate Betsy’s birthday a month or so ago. Happy Birthday Betsy!

Harlan and Kathleen weren’t able to join me at my birthday party, so we went out a couple of weeks later during the day. We ended up going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s a fantastic museum. I end up seeing a different part of the museum for the first time every time I visit. And I’ve been visiting since I was a kid. This time, I saw the Luce Center for the first time.

The Williamsburgh Bank Building is the tallest building in Brooklyn. In the past, it has been home to many dentists, but now it is being converted into condos.

In early January, I had a few folks over to my house to help me celebrate my 32nd birthday (because five bits is not enough). Betsy took quite a few photos; I figured I had better get to posting them.
Yum yum. Cakes from Almondine.
James and Brian enjoy the free-flowing booze.

Shawn Cullen, a lighting assistant for Sports Illustrated, is writing a diary of his work at the Final Four. I’m mentioned on day three, “The magazine also has another five people to take care of all the technology.”

I was browsing through the sites I read on Bloglines and thought I would highlight a couple of food sites that have had recent interesting posts. On Butter Pig, Tom Dowdy punctures the myth of filtering cheap vodka. C’est moi qui l’ai fait! is a cooking blog based in France. I mostly read it to practice my French, but the recipies and posts are interesting as well. Finally, Chocolate & Zucchini has great coverage of the best baguette in Paris.

I’m currently at the airport waiting to fly to Indianapolis. I
m going to work at the Final Four. The technology we use is fairly interesting, and I will provide a full description later. This airport is boring. To make matters worse,my flight is delayed 20 minutes.
[Update: This post was created on my phone. Not all of the formatting worked correctly, it posted twice, and the whitespace was not correct. I’ve fixed it on this post, but I think it is a problem that either Blogger or Sprint should probably address.]

For my birthday in January, my father took my brother and I to Blue Smoke. Blue Smoke is a good BBQ join in the flatiron neighborhood. My favorite part of the meal was the custom peanuts. They open the jar at the table.
Thanks for dinner dad!

All sorts of people come to New York City during the holiday season. Say hello to Tom Tarka.
We shared a few drinks and saw his sister perform at a rock concert.
