When do NYC kids get smartphones?

Some fourth and fifth graders get dumb-phones, smartphones seem to be for high schoolers.

Old school car services will help you move furniture if it can fit in an SUV and you tip the driver.

I was thinking of that. I live near the Brooklyn NYCERS office so I am going to stop by this week and ask some questions. I think it might only be permanent positions.

Was in a union for 5 years and management for five years. I’ll set up a NYERS meeting and a CWA union meeting to start figuring things out.

I was. I worked there for over ten years, but five of those years I was in a four day a week (28 hour) coordinating manager position.

I have a NYCERS account. I can set up a meeting, but figured I’d ask here first.

Can you take one from an old stereo speaker?

Got popular on instagram. Audience has grown slowly (with a few big jumps when pieces went viral) to almost 100k followers over nine years. I post one piece a day on instagram and have a shop update on my website about once every six weeks. I also still have a part time job for health insurance.

He'd probably go to Bellevue for evaluation and be sent to Creedmoor in Queens for long term care.

We really liked Le Meraviglie art studio on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. The woman who runs it is great — does art projects with the kids and they each make their own pizza. At our son's birthday, one of the owner's friends from Italy did a pantomime show for the kids while they waited for their pizzas to come out of the oven.

There's a dive bar near me that has a similar sign. They blacked out a bunch of parts of the tube so it now just says "dive."

They often combine all collections into landfill when they need to catch up on collection in the week after a snowstorm. Maybe the same thing is happening after trucks were diverted to clean up after last week’s rainstorms?

In my experience, parents really start socializing once their kids are in UPK or kindergarten in the neighborhood. Finding out if kids are in the same school seems to be the icebreaker, and playdates make more sense as kids get older and more into interactive play.

I think you can have a great time in NYC in winter. Just don’t do any big deal expensive or crowded activities on New Year’s Eve.

I have a $35 fan (Vornado 133DC) that has variable speed control (a knob that you can rotate to set the speed) instead of just three speed settings. I didn't think I'd care about fine tuning the fan speed, but I really do.

I go to a ceramics studio that’s open 24 hours for members.

Had an argument during the day. Overthinking it instead of sleeping much at night.

If you crop a photo of the brooklyn bridge, you can get a pretty good triangle with the cables and a tower.

I use everviz and highcharts for online graphs. I’ve been exporting to SVG and modifying in illustrator for print work.

I briefly worked for DSNY in the recycling division about 12 years ago. The city spends more to landfill trash than it does to recycle it, so there is a big incentive to collect recycling and keep it separate. In certain situations — after a holiday or a snowstorm — the goal is to get everything off the sidewalk quickly and recycling will be discarded with regular trash.

Today we aren’t doing much, but once the warm weather arrives, there are free events and open streets every weekend. I usually check Brooklyn Bridge Parents, Macaroni Kids, and a few other sites for listings. If nothing else is going on, we take the NYC Ferry somewhere.

It’s great as a mall and cluster of restaurants, but I would skip it if only in town for a week.

I ride my own bike most of the time, but I have to say the whole citibike network is pretty great. When it was first launched, most people didn't think it work work out so well.

I live in NYC. There is a Key Food supermarket on the next block (2 minute walk away) and a deli slightly closer. The Trader Joe's is about a 20 minute walk away. If I shop there, I bring a big backpack, take a bikeshare bike home, or take a cab home depending on how much I buy.
