Sunday

Super sunny and nice out, 73 F right now. We are going to try to go to the beach today, from Penn Station, should be about an hour away on the train, going to Long Beach.

We went to the Basin Cafe for a burger last night, on the Upper West side, it was the perfect weather to sip on a drink overlooking the dock. Took the subway up, and came back walking. We watched the sunset over the Hudson River while at the cafe, it was beautiful. On the way back, we stopped at Byan Park. Got home around 11 or so, or went to bed early.

TW Powerboost

Ah, I have done some research to find out why the sudden speed increase on my TW broadband connection. It turns out TW just deployed "Powerboost" technology in the NYC market this summer. It's a tech that Comcast pioneered and that gives you 2x to 3x the bandwidth for the first few minutes of your download. I guess that's an improvement, but not as great as sustained of course. Probably a move to compete with Verizon's FIOS.

Google Analytics

Just finished installed Google Analytics on a bunch of my sites, been meaning to do that for a while. It does a great job. Just have to wait for a day or so now and start watching the data, fun.


Fri night

We went to a little pizza place on the East Village for dinner last night, Lil Frankies, very cool and cozy. Didn't stay out late, got home relatively soon. Cloudy today, pleasant temperature. Nadal plays, may try to watch. Ivanovic got eliminated, too bad. We are supposed to meet Hans and Jodi tonight. May go to the beach tomorrow. Trying to have a quiet, relaxing Labor Day weekend.

Wed night

Just got home now after a delayed arrival as well as departure, and the consequent confusion with our car. Anyway, fixin' something to eat now, I am super hungry.
