Winter Solstice is approaching this Dec 21st-early Dec. 22. the shortest day of the year. As usual there's the pressure of too much to do during the holiday season and too little time to do it.

A New Yorker's Opinion: Higgs Boson Glimpsed in ManhattanDecember 13 2011 12:42 PM
The Higgs boson news caused cheers from me, too. Because I have been searching high and low for the Higgs right here in New York.

A New Yorker's Opinion: Romney Bets, America Keeps Trickling DownDecember 11 2011 4:23 PM
Just a token bet for Romney. He probably couldn't conceive of betting less. Doesn't that say it all? Do you make friendly bets of 10 grand with your friends? I was not amused. I don't have $10,000 to squander like that. That's about what I pay for health insurance every year.

New York Web: Loosecubes’ Founder Campbell McKellar Wants You to Work Anywhere You Want, Any Day, Any TimeDecember 09 2011 7:03 AM
The only rule at Loosecubes' office in DUMBO is you have to play nice with others. Words to that effect have been etched in Old English on a wooden placard that hangs near the doorway.

A New Yorker's Opinion: Albany Tax Plan's Debt to Occupy Wall StreetDecember 07 2011 7:38 AM
The long shadow of Occupy Wall Street fell across the New York Legislature Tuesday, when its leaders and Gov. Andrew Cuomo agreed to changes to New York State's income tax, which will cut rates for many in the middle class, while adding a new bracket for those making over $2 million a year.
