This weekend most of the Vimeo crew took a 9-hour drive/ferry ride to remote North Haven, Maine. While on the ferry, a crew member gave Casey this ridiculous balloon and love letter addressed to Vimeo. We all assumed it was Blake who told the ferry to give it to us since there’s only like 300 people on the island and he and Casey have a bizarre infatuation with unicorns. Before we got...
Wall Street
My office is a block from the NYSE. Usually this neighborhood is teaming with men and women in suits rushing around yelling into their blackberries. Kind of annoying but it was also part of the charm of the neighborhood. It was almost a caricature of itself. But over the past week or so the crowd has literally been replace. Now it is chalk full of protesters - I saw one with a sign that said,...

“Here’s the long and short of it for John McCain: Barack Obama has as large a lead in the election as he’s held all year. But there is much less time left on the clock than there was during other Obama periods of strength, such as in February, mid-June or immediately following the Democratic convention. This is a very difficult combination of circumstances for him.”...

I feel like I’ve dropped the ball on my tumblr. My life has been crazy. Moving (4 days), Vegas (5 days), Maine (3 days and lots o driving) … all good things but I have to admit I’m exhausted and I have the daunting task of furnishing an apartment ahead of me. I know its rediculous to be overwhelmed by this but I totally am.
I’m making a come back and its going to involve...

Public Plea to National Grid
Dear National Grid,
Pretty pretty please turn on the gas at our new apartment before Thursday. I don’t think I can handle four days of cold showers.

Political Soundtrack
I’ve really enjoyed watching the DNC and RNC. I’m super pumped for the election and the debates leading up to it. This year I think we’re really going to do it. However, the one thing that has been really annoying me is the obnoxiously appropriate music they play at the conventions:
“We’re all just racing McCain” After McCain’s speech
“Isn’t...

TDS has been so over the top this week, it’s awesome.
I literally thought Jon might have a heart attack when he was singing free bird. The conventions are just completely overstimulating for TDS. It’s like TDS on crack. It’s awesome.

I’m so sad summer is over. In one final fit of effort to make my summer full of activities I organized a tour de Millbrook (my home town) for Andrew, Julia and myself. Our grand tour included the only two activities I could think of in the area: First a trip to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome - where they have a huge collection of vintage airplanes and an old school air show where they actually...
