 20040831 LET HIM SING! Petition
So, some major tension has erupted here in my office -- basically, I have been demanded by Ricky Van Veen, my dear friend (or so I thought) and business partner, not to sing during work hours because it is "annoying". While I understand that I may not always be on key, or necessarily know all the words to the songs I sing, I feel that it is important for every man to chirp away as he pleases. What is a man without song? NOTHING!
Now, I am asking for your support, my TRUE friends. Please sign this Petition, encouraging Ricky to change his mind ... because afterall, everyone could use a little more of Britney Spear's Toxic in the morning.  More time-lapse, this time from the top of my building looking down Broadway.  A street corner on Hudson, while walking home last night. RNC Protests
How lucky I was to be in midtown today with a wide-angle lens to witness the RNC protests ... New Pond
 I am watching over Tiffany's turtle Hammish until she returns for a second trip of moving back from NYC to Wake. I upgraded his tupperware home to an aquariam. I couldn't resist...  I hung shelves today. The future is here.

Desperately looking for contemporary/modern/mimalist furniture retailers online. I have already scoured Manhattan, and Manhattan has scoured my wallet.
So, right now I am working between Tema, West Elm, and of course Ikea. And, of course I dreaming about DWR ... Any suggestions?  Sunset, this evening. Native Alaskans Tradition Is Yielding to Modern Customs

The News Sentinel: 'I never knew it was going to be this popular in my grade at high school,' said [Taylor] Klein, who learned about blogs through an older brother. I am the older brother ... FAME! Oh, and Taylor was mentioned in the article too. Phone, get me a tuna-salad sandwich...

Yay! My pal of pals, Chris Bodenner, got a job in New York as an editorial intern at the Columbia Journalism Review. He blogs the details. Right now he is eating granola in Seattle until his brother Ralph sends him packing.

 Two weeks until completion of our new apartment on Broadway. Hey Pittsburgh, I spit in your general direction!
I am incensed, and halfway through my letter of reply!
Pittsburgh City Paper: Obviously, we Pittsburghers can make fun of Fort Wayne to compensate for our own feelings of inferiority. Allow me to demonstrate. I mean a Web site operated by the city's visitors and convention center boasts -- actually boasts -- that Fort Wayne is the birthplace of baking soda! Not to mention "the home of the Daisies, the first professional women's baseball team"! They don't even have an NFL franchise, the poor saps! h6315 Pocket PC Phone to go on sale August 26th?
Engadget says so.

I want this site to be a photolog, maybe like slower.net? I was impressed by the Expressions service, but I want a self-hosted solution that is PHP based. Suggestions are appreciated...

U.S. raises threat level at key financial sites
I was sobered during a morning walk today, to see three different bomb-search checkpoints, unaware of the 'terror threat', and then coming home to see this on the frontpage of CNN. For the first time, this is all in my backyard.

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
