My Cord-Cutting Strategy for the 2025 MLB Playoffs
Itâs been 15 years since I have had a cable TV subscription, and except for one month a year, I do not miss it! The one month a year is around October because of the baseball playoffs. The games are available only on cable networks: ESPN for the wild card round Fox Sports 1 for the ALDS and ALCS rounds TBS for the NLDS and NLCS rounds The World Series is broadcast on the Fox network so you canâŠ
Queens College Botches MFA Launch
Earlier this week, Queens College activated multifactor authenticator (MFA) sign-in for all users to use our apps through CUNY Login. This includes the learning management system, D2L Brightspace, that we use for all of our courses. I generally appreciate the extra security measures because, yeah, itâs important to have common sense, widely accepted practices to maintain computing security. ButâŠ

Infernal Affairs, Twenty Years Late
The New York Film Festival begins on Friday, September 30. I didnât buy any tickets, although itâs not because there arenât any good films playing. There are some great films scheduled, as there always is. But the late Annette Michelson gave me a pro tip: these films will all come out sooner or later in wide release, and if wait a few weeks, and you can see them at a discount. In 2002, I hadâŠ

CUNY Dropped Some of My Students for Unpaid Bills
If you donât pay, you donât get to play. In college, if you have an unpaid balance on your account, the bursar and registrar offices collaborate to block from you from registering for the next semester, you get dropped from your classes, or you wonât be awarded your degree. This past year has been very difficult for a lot of people because of the pandemic, including some of my students. SomeâŠ

Shades of 2000
With age comes a lot of things, most of which are deemed negative by our culture. There comes slower metabolism, a changing hairline, and diminished opportunities to accomplish any meaningful goals. But with age also comes a few gifts, specifically wisdom and perspective.
I wonât pretend that I have acquired much wisdom at this age, but I do think that I tend to make fewer impulsive decisions ofâŠ

Pour One Out for the TV Listings in the New York Times
This is the final TV listings ever printed in the New York Times.
Over the summer, I swapped my subscription to The New York Times from a digital-only to an old-fashioned home-delivery print subscription. One day, my neighbor picked up a copy and was amazed that the TV listings were still printed every day.
In yesterdayâs print edition, the Times announced that it would stop printing TVâŠ

Itâs 2020, and I Again Started Getting the Newspaper Delivered to My Home
Earlier this month, I did something rather unusual for 2020: I switched subscription to the New York Times from a digital subscription to an old-fashioned home-delivery print edition.
I have had subscription to the New York Times, in some one form or another, for as long as I can remember, even before I moved to city in 2001. While still living in Santa Barbara in the late 1990s and at theâŠ

How I Spent My SummerâŠ
How I spent my summer narrating slide decks and talking to my computer in my bedroom.
I made a makeshift recording studio in my bedroom, including a cylinder box of rolled oats as a microphone stand.
Pardon the dust around here⊠itâs been a very busy time for me as the COVID-19 pandemic put a whole lot of extra work on me in terms of class preparation. It robbed me of any desire to sit in front of a computer to post to this site.
Iâm sorry. I hope youâll take me back,

The Three COVID-19âEra Phrases I Want to Trademark
It looks like my attempt to get the phrase âIn the Age of the Virusâ to catch on isnât working. It looks like the Internet prefers âIn the Time of Coronaâ because it sounds more like the title of Gabriel GarcĂa MĂĄrquezâs book In the Time of Cholera. Itâs okay. I got over the term âInternautâ not catching on⊠Iâll get over this.

Months ago, back when we could go out of our homes and be among other humans, I was spent the better part of a whole Friday toiling at Evil Twinâs taproom in Ridgewood.
You might wonder how I could be productive sitting almost an entire day at a brewery. Yes, Evil Twin is a brewery but their taproom opened early to offer a

Remote Online Teaching in The Age of the Virus
With the spread of COVID-19 into a global pandemic (thanks Trump!), all of my jobs are transitioning to remote instruction. CUNY Queens College remote classes go live on Thursday, March 19, and my classes at Pratt Institute are due to restart online on March 30. At NYU, where I am an hourly, contractor, weâve been told to work from home until further notice.
As a knowledge worker, I am lucky thatâŠ

Greetings from the Age of the Virus!
First, donât believe the crazy crackpot theories that the novel coronavirus was manufactured in a Chinese lab. Itâs nonsense. But by the way Trump mentions âfrom Chinaâ when talking about the virus, itâs clear heâs one of those crackpots. Fuck that guy!

The Internet âBrokeâ into the Movies Twenty-Five Years Ago
Screen Slate's film series "1995: The Year the Internet Broke" made me realize that, holy hell, I've been on the Internet for 25 years!

Their Apizza is So Good, They Donât Even Need Correct Spelling
Within eight hours of landing at JFK Airport after spending a month in Southern California, I was in a car heading up to New Haven, Connecticut for a day trip. The last time I was in New Haven was a bit over five years ago on a bike ride from Greenpoint to New Haven. My experience of New Haven was a bit rushed. I had ridden with a group from the New York Cycle Club, and we had split up into twoâŠ

Day Trip: Four Breweries in New Yorkâs Hudson Valley
A little over a week ago, a few of my beer-loving friends planned a trip to the Hudson Valley to visit some of the many breweries in the area. Our initial list was really impossibly long. We quickly figured out that we would have to make the list shorterâsomething like four breweriesâto make the trip feasible.
I should point out a few notes:
