The last two weeks have been fun and full of excitement. This is the part of summer that seems to be filled with happy hour mixers. The weekend before last our office had a ballgame outing. We went to the Cyclones game at Coney Island. I didn’t pay much attention to the game, but had [...]
The first time this happened, I wasn’t living there. But I was waiting on pins and needles, dialing into conference calls, surfing the web. I was a journalist and even though we only published biweekly, there was urgency to finding out as soon as it happened, even if it was on the other side of [...]
As I watch the Prop 8 hearing in the 9th Circuit, and after reading about a study finding LGBT youth are likely to receive harsher and stricter punishment from school and legal authorities, I thought I’d share our Fordham OUTLaws “It Gets Better” video for Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project. I shot the footage [...]
Most people probably heard how New York got hit by a big heat wave last week. It seems to be cooling down a bit now, but there were a few days where it was almost unbearable. Usually, our office is colder than is comfortable. Something about servers and computer equipment, but it’s a little odd [...]
The AIDS Walk went well. It really wiped me out, though. Still, a good time was had in the sun, money was raised for a good cause, and I spent a morning pretending I didn’t have to study for Torts. The video is 5 minutes of footage I shot on my fancy new camcorder, but [...]
Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is always upsetting to take stock annually of the number who have died for being in some way gender variant, and the community is reeling from the shocking and gruesome murder of George Steven Lopez Mercado in Puerto Rico. Yet, in 2009, I find reason to celebrate, [...]

Jensen And Rosemary Winters The Salt Lake Tribune Hours after the LDS Church announced its support Tuesday night of proposed Salt Lake City ordinances aimed [...]
What a day! I only got about 2 to 2 1/2 hours sleep before my alarm was going off and I was dashing down into Chelsea to catch the bus. While I was waiting for our 6am departure one of the local news stations interviewed me. I don’t know which one and I can’t find [...]
Well, it’s a Saturday night in Manhattan, I’ve finally got some money in my pocket, I already finished my case reading for the week ahead (and Monday is a holiday anyway), and my roommates are out of town. You know what that means… Yup, bought cheap Halloween wig at CVS and spent the evening singing [...]
I was just about to turn off the computer for the night when I did one last check of Twitter/Google Reader. Now, instead of turning off the computer, I’m shaking with anger that has been building for several days. Apparently, a bisexual sailor may have been brutally murdered because of his sexual orientation. This comes [...]
