My name is Michael Krakovskiy, and this is my blog.
Here's what you might find interesting:
100 Views of the Empire State Building project: I try to take 100 interesting photos of Manhattan's (sadly) tallest building.
My Gastronomic Adventures: I eat weird food - from 13 year old New Coke to Durian and parasitic fungi.
My attempts to grow exotic plants: pineapples, coconuts, etc.
My photos, mostly of New York City.
My musings about architecture mostly illustrated with my own photos. Would you like to learn about a mental patient who died at 103 who served as a model for some very famous sculptures? How about Brooklyn's ugliest building? How about a wooden skyscraper?
I find myself frequently writing about logos. The most popular article I ever wrote is about the redesigns of the Starbucks logo.
I wrote a series of "Best Sci-Fi You Haven't Read" posts:
Psywarrior
Yes, Virginia There Is Synergy
Call Time Police - We've Got a Time Traveler
Other topics that interest me include NYPD, New York City subway system, Japan, and things made out of titanium. On top of all of that, I seem to be interested in pigeions and Rupert Murdoch.
Dear reader, please browse around. You are sure to find something interesting. I could really use some help in bringing in readership: subscribe to the rss feed, digg the stories (there's a convenient button at the bottom of every article), link to my blog from yours, write some comments. I put in a lot of effort into writing, and I really appreciate your attention.
If you don't want all this pseudo-intellectual and want some lolcats? Please don't go away. Here, I have that stuff too. Here, here's another. And another. And another. I lied about not posting cat pictures.

CBS Sunday Morning: Taming Color's Chaos
"The signature shade was chosen by the company’s founder, back in 1853, because it was the favorite of Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III."
Interesting piece about Pantone and how they pioneered copyrighting colors.
Retailers like that usually operate strictly under the COD form of payment. (Cash On The Dash)...
What, a classy operation like that not taking Switch Card and Diner's Club? You surely must be kidding.
It reminds me of a summer in college. I was working as a security guard here in Toronto. I was patrolling the mall parking lot when a couple called me over to a van just like that one and told me they could give me a "great deal" on any of the stereo equipment they had inside. The thing was full of it.
That's pretty cool. They should have chosen Gretag McBeth though - they have been around since Louis Comfort's time, and Charles Lewis almost missed them.
