I did a boatload of walking yesterday afternoon, especially in Harlem, but I was content just to wander and take in my surroundings. Photowalking is sometimes an oxymoron: if I’m taking photographs I cover very little ground.
Usually what I try and do is get a feel for the area first on foot and shoot [...]
Apple SoHo
2 Comments Published by Gail September 29th, 2006 in Out + About, USA, Unabashed Geekiness, cameraphoneTwo Apple stores in one day.
I’m attending a New York Photo Bloggers event at the Apple SoHo store. I’m watching the third presenter now, and he’s the funniest of the lot. (Apple has wi-fi here, too.) There were supposed to be eight presenters, but one of them got hit by a taxicab on his bike. [...]
An Apple a Day — or even 24 hours a day
1 Comment Published by Gail September 29th, 2006 in USA, Unabashed Geekiness, cameraphonePosted from my PowerBook inside the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue. There’s free wi-fi, and the store is open 24 hours a day. I’d set up a tent and camp here, if I could. There’s plenty of music and security, too!
At Large in New York City

Wait time: 20 seconds
Questions: 2
I think I’m on a roll. No more Queenston-Lewiston crossings for me!
An unplanned pit stop was made in Pennsylvania, but nothing to get alarmed about. Helma fed me, I picked up some stuff I left behind last week, it’s all good.
I also picked up a toiletry bag [...]
I’ve been away from broadband quite a bit lately, so I’ve not been emailing / ewriting / ecomment-responding as per usual. At the moment I’ve resorted to stealing bandwidth from the 10th floor of an old building in an old neighbourhood — one that I’m sure you’ve heard of but I’m still trying to upload [...]
Thai and Schezuan place, Bloor Street West, in the Annex. Sleemans Honey Brown. Bubble tea in asymmetrical glass. Squares of steamed rice. Green curry sweetened with pineapple. Other dish with heat level labelled as “I’m on fire” — definitely not mine. Dishes of wontons, spring rolls, salad not shown, but most heartily consumed. Appetites fuelled [...]

The Ms Backyard
Maddy organises a tea party, invitations all ’round. Maribeth nearly escapes. Today’s feature: muffins. Mayhem ensues.
(I didn’t edit this one, I just patched three takes together.)
It’s been quite the day. Had lunch on Queen Street and walked by this cat sitting in a filled-in windowsill. After I took this photo, we noticed another young cat playing in the street and soon found out that both were strays after asking around the neighbourhood.
Turns out they’re from a family of at least [...]
Protected: The House of Fielding — Then and Now
Enter your password to view comments Published by Gail September 24th, 2006 in House of Fielding, PWP-3There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I met Angie, Helma and Hermann’s friend, for the first time on Monday after my impromptu boat trip around Lake Winola. Angie’s an ardent member of Hugh’s large fan club, who watched his videoclips and cheered him on. (Hugh will be greatly missed in YouTube, I’m sure.)
When I arrived, Helma and Angie were washing the [...]
