Comparison of iPhone 1 and iPhone 4 Cameras (pic)

Posted on June 26, 2010 by

This Sunday, June 27, is the LGBT Pride Parade, happening in cities around the world.  I will be proudly marching with the Quaker contingent in New York City.

West Coast Swing & Lindy Hop in LeAnn Rimes “Swingin” Music Video

Posted on June 22, 2010 by

I gotta say that I enjoyed this music video "Swingin" by country music singer LeAnn Rimes.  The "dance contest" set-up was very cute, and the mix of west coast swing, east coast and lindy hop dancing was cool to see.  I'm sure for most viewers, it's all just "swing."  Only dance nerds like me are…

Here I am as a vintage nerd as part of the legendary Brooklyn Bombshell Revue. The Bombshells were out in force at the 2010 Mermaid Parade at Coney Island yesterday.  Yes, I know, it’s not very mermaid-y.  But it fit, I think, in the general vintage aesthetic of our team. Much of what made the…
