New York's golden age

New York's golden age 01/02/2005 06:28 PM

The NY Times recently asked a few New Yorkers which era they would nominate as New York's golden age. Like Greg, I thought Bill T. Jones' answer was the most penetrating:

Right after 9/11.

New York had a true reappraisal of itself at a tragic and introspective moment. New York had the attention of the whole world; it was a frightening moment. But the world was ready to follow, to assist.

It lasted a few months. We were vulnerable and open to the rest of the world, and we were ready for a change. There was a chance to ask questions, and it was a time when we were forced to do so.

But it didn't happen. There wasn't a true conversation about what America means to the rest of the world or about why New York was chosen. It was an opportunity. And then the politicians took it.

That last sentence is a doozy, isn't it? It saddens me to think that in times when we need to have open and honest communication to heal wounds and investigate opportunities, we instead let ourselves get caught up with the marketing of powerful men.

New York's Finest Sweep Up Streets

New York's Finest Sweep Up Streets 09/02/2004 01:52 PM
Protests at RNC test appropriate response
An eyewitness account by I Can't Believe Its A Democracy - "I just have to pause here for a moment to make an observation. How many times have I seen an interview with an arrested protester who claimed he or she had done nothing to provoke the police. Almost always my reaction has been, "Yeah, sure." Only now I was seeing this very situation unfold in front of my eyes. These protesters, while certainly noisy, had obeyed police instructions down the entire length of the street. Now they were being treated as if they had gotten wildly out of control, but they hadn't. I know, because I was there."

Another account from Captain Normal (also an eyewitness and even got arrested and held for 24 hours without being charged or being able to contact a lawyer) discusses a family of French tourists caught up in the sweep as well as some of the other residents of "Gitmo on the Hudson".

Text Link Brokers

Text Link Brokers 06/16/2004 11:56 AM

Buy and Sell Text Links ads: These guys buy and sell text links from one site to another, with the specific intent to increase PageRank.

We specialize in brokering text link Advertisements. Text Link Ads on popular, highly ranked web sites help increase the traffic to a site from the search engines along with contributing direct traffic. In contrast Banner Ads or PPC Advertisements will only climb in price with each click, while contributing nothing to search engine ranks.

Links from pages with current PageRank of 4 go for $5 - 50 per month while links from pages with a PageRank of 9 go for $500 - $2,500 per month. I'd be interested to know who the 9's are.

I just checked and the PageRank of the Gadgetopia home page is just 5, so I'm not sitting on a gold mine or anything. For the sake of comparison, CNN's home page is a 9, while Boing Boing and scripting.com — arguably the two most popular blogs around — are both 7. I'm shooting for a 6 one of these days.
