Meiji Poporon Strawberry Cookie

This box looked amazing but the contents were way too sweet even for me (and I have a sweet tooth as well).

CNN Fails Again

This screenshot was take about 15 minutes after I first started reading about the latest demonstrations in Iran. By the time I went to take the screenshot of the BBC website the story was already old and demoted to the 2nd tier. However CNN hadn't even picked up the story yet on their website or breaking news Twitter account.

Note: This screenshot was taken at about 4am — 1 hour later by 5am the site still wasn't updated...

NYC Primaries in Williamsburg

This election day was very different than the last time I voted for the Presidential race in 2008. Up for grabs is the local city seat and while voting was light the get out of the vote effort from the candidates was huge (much more intense than the Democratic primaries for President by the way). Seen here is a campaign worker for Diana Reyna who holds the seat, Maritza Davila who is a challenger.

Reyna voted with Republican Mayor Bloomberg to end term limits without a public vote, however because she's one of the few Dominican politicians support is heavy in the district. The photo with Obama is a bit dishonest as she didn't support him in the primaries when it mattered. Maritza Davila was backed by politician Vito Lopez when Reyna turned his back on him. However Maritza is Puerto Rican so she has support from that ethnic base within the community, although the Dominicans are on the rise in the hood as the Puerto Ricans are moving out to the burbs more and more.

Sadly my candidate Jerry Esposito didn't do as well with his get out the vote effort, although he did do a good job with fundraising. To me he was the real candidate of change, however lacking the support from the machine or getting the local ethnic vote (his family is from Argentina) I fear that the odds are against him.

I also had the shock upon entering the voting booth to realize that as a citizen of Brooklyn I was not allowed to vote for the Manhattan DAs race!

Sunset on Marcy

I photographed this earlier this Summer on one of the rare days that I got home before sunset. This is taken from the Marcy train station looking at the Williamsburg bridge in the distance,
