I couple of days ago I spotted this place on NYPD blue. A perp was unloading a stolen guitar in this pawn shop.
Some quick nerdy news
Ethernet card for my TIVO is on it’s way. I wish it was available when my TIVO’s modem got killed by a surge from a lightning storm (I had to ship it to a guy who fixed it for $50). I’ll probably install TivoWeb because Yahoo! seems to be pretty slow in rolling out online TIVO programming that was promised.
Powershot G3 is available for preorder. I can’t believe they used the same moronic silver color for it. Again. Didn’t they get enough angry letters from photographers (so many that the actually made a black color version of G2).
By the way, it’s interesting to watch the progress of design of G1, G2 and G3. One thing that I noticed is that the grip handle gets progressively bigger and more comfortable.
Talking Heads
I work in the Newscorp building. Fox News studios are located on the first floor and have windows. It’s kind of eerie seeing “talking heads” live on the way home.
That’s Shepard Smith, I think. I tried taking pictures from two different windows. The windows are tinted.
Ooooh, horsies
Interesting fact about NYPD horses from http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/transportation/horses.html :
“Most horses are now named after deceased members of the NYPD, although some have names that commemorate their donors.”
