Jesse Reklaw’s Slow Wave comics absolutely rock!. Jesse designed Deadprogrammer.com corner graphic, the one with the programmer and the cat. And now you can buy his new book - The Night of Your life:
John C WrightPre-ordersThu, 04/29/2004 - 07:32 — deadprogrammerIsn’t it nice to be able to pre-order a book being very certain that it’s going to rock? Sight unseen I pre-ordered John C Wright’s The Last Guardian of Everness and Jeff Rowland’s “WIGU Volume Two : The Luckiest Boy In The World”. I recommend that you do the same. The new userpic is by Jeff Rowland by the way. Ok, It's a Quick Meme. And I Can't Sleep.Mon, 10/06/2003 - 03:56 — deadprogrammerThe way this works, you cross out authors not appearing on your bookshelf and add new ones as needed. I Am the Lowest of the LowTue, 01/21/2003 - 01:55 — deadprogrammerI am a fanboy. There are these people on the Internet whose web pages I stalk. I don’t stalk the people themselves, of course. Otherwise I would have been a raging fanboy. And I am not. And never will be. I just read most of the stuff that these people write. And learn things from them.

What's All this Then?
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.
