August 4th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Last week, I was interviewed by phone and in person by Elizabeth Kim of the Stamford Advocate, as part of a story on Stamford-area bloggers.

Unfortunately, the reporter chose to (accurately) pull a quote from me which I totally regret.

The cars are gross.
The A/C doesnt work.
The [...]

Live post from the train on 3g iphone

July 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This is my first post from a train, taking the 8:08 from Cos Cob into the city for a birthday party.
I am using the new wordpress app for the iPhone, which is great.
It’s definitely harder to type on the iPhone on a moving train than a Blackberry, but it’s do-able.
Anyways, I was just having a [...]

April 6th, 2008 · No Comments

We have updated our Metro-North Schedules to reflect the schedule changes which take effect tomorrow morning.
Make sure you check your schedule carefully before leaving for work (and coming home) - although some lines are less effected than others, you may notice that some trains have been rescheduled - some by as little as a minute.

Metro-North Schedule Changes : Metro-North Schedule Changes This Sunday, April 5th

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Metro-North Schedule changes take effect this Sunday April 6.
We figured since we have a static Metro-North Schedule like the ones on the little station-specific leaflets at GCT, that we would do like MTA and wait until Monday to do the schedule change to avoid confusion.
Check the MTA Schedule form for next’s weeks schedule changes or [...]
