Justice For Pedestrians In New York City

In New York City traffic laws are kind of a joke. Speed limits don’t exist, the first 3 seconds of a red light are just an extension of a yellow light, and there’s an overabundance of the absolute worst drivers–cab drivers. It all makes for one hell of a dangerous mix.
One of the reasons people [...]

Vinyl Wine In The News

Vinyl Wine
There’s really not much point to this post other than to repost a relevant link that can help boost the VinylWineShop.com search ranking. If you didn’t see it on Facebook already, Not For Tourists, the guide designed to help city goers venture off the beaten path, wrote a little bit about us. Craig Nelson [...]

2 Amazing Things I Witnessed In The Past 2 Days

There are days when I bear witness to little, otherwise forgettable things that make me love life more than any raise, ski trip, or World Cup game is capable of doing.
Item 1
Yesterday, my friend Joe took me with him to go pick up some video game I’d never hear of at the chain GameStop. While [...]

NYC Doormen Threaten Strike

Since I’ve never actually seen a female Doorperson (insane) in NYC, I’m going to go ahead and use the standard Doormen/man nomenclature.

Checking In And More Re-wilding

Ahoy.

Is anyone interested in doing some guest blogging on MediumHappiness? (Corey? Gideon? [...]

My Brethren: Unerpaid Sewage Workers

Now judging by the title of this post, and supposing you know me, you might be asking yourself, what the hell does he [the royal I] have to do with sewage workers?
Thanks to a municipal staffing foul-up I spent the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of colleg working for the Chemung County sewer plant in [...]

2 Things In The News, One Bad, One Good

Two things I read today made me feel either strongly encouraged or discouraged. The discouraging part was that the Supreme Court overturned whatever progress was being made in the slushy battle against campaign financing. Basically, the floodgates are back open. So big business get out your pocket protectors because politicians are jumping back in.
The other [...]

Happy Holidays

This may be low brow, but I think it’s damn funny. People rock.
And, as a challenge to all MedHapp readers, what song should this car be blaring whilst driving around town with this fine work of art in the back?  Maybe…this one?

Back From Spain, Frawwnce, and Some Other Places

Hey all. The lack of posting the past 20 or so days can be blamed on an amazing trip from which I just returned. The journey involved Wedding Partying*, Spanish beaches, copious amounts of wine, cheese, and cured meats, sun, mountains, French beaches, bicycles, thrilling car riding on the edge of mountain precipices, The Adirondacks, [...]
