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.

Wow, I can’t wait to see the pictures!
Deadprogrammer, come home!
I’m baaaaaaaak!
I’ll try to organize and edit the pictures soon.
You deleted your livejournal? I thought I was going insane for a moment before I realized your rss feed was still working.
Yep, I am getting rid of it.
that’s a glory, not a rainbow. but close.
You are technically correct, and that’s the best kind of correct. :)
I’ve seen the explanation that this is simply a rainbow from above, but now, digging deeper I found out about glorys and cloudbows and other stuff. Thanks!
:) surprised to see you read the comments so long after the original post.
anyway the only reason i know about this phenomenon is from reading the weatherunderground.com blogs, which are great.
Sometimes I forget to answer a comment, and then get around to it. I try to answer most comments.
