Wasder, this is like the first man walking on the moon. I guess you couldn’t be the first person to post on a blog from an airplane? When did the service start — about a month ago? I was on JetBlue a week or two ago but no Internet.
Of course, the conference was ABOUT the Internet.
Wasder, you have wireless on the airplane? How amazing and cool! OMG.
Whereas I was at a conference all day in NYC and COULD NOT get the Internet. HAAAAA!
I went to college with the woman in the Clinton Hill Co-ops reno. Didn’t even know she was in my hood. That article goes to show you what a great value those buildings really are. The windows are huge, the views often stunning, and the layouts very sensible and generous. You buy one of those cheaply, spend your money on renovations and you end up with an apt that would cost hundreds of thousands more if not for the “stigma” of the look of the complex. I bet this will inspire others to do the same as the location is top notch for Clinton Hill. Congrats to the owner.
I am writing this on an airplane heading to SF!
> Really love that Clinton Coops reno!
Agreed. Fabulous job.
Really love that Clinton Coops reno! Much as I love our Victorian pad, I can see that 10-15 years from now I’ll be ready for modern, open plan, views, no stairs.
charter schools are essentially glorified special ed.
*rob*
I agree. That’s probably the least that should happen.
Punishing a child with a learning disability for working more slowly is tantamount to child abuse.
I think I got detention for all of junior high and high school.
