I was scouting a nice event space recently when I saw something unusual on the mantle…
Plants growing out of books – what a great idea! Looks like they used an Exacto-knife to carve out the pages, then potted some plants that don’t require a lot of water. Here’s another…
Why don’t I ever come up with these things? Anyway, just a little arts and crafts project for a cold winter day. 🙂

Early on in Annie Hall, there’s a great shot set on a Manhattan side street in which Alvy and Rob start walking toward us from far, far down the block… We hear their conversation the whole time as they slowly get closer… Once they reach the camera, we track with them… …until they disappear out…
So how is the abandoned pit bull that everyone helped to rescue doing in her new home? Er, resting comfortably! I just got an email from her new owners, and I’m happy to report that everything is going great! “Penelope” is now a resident of Washington, D.C. When she arrived at her new home, she…
I was driving with my fiancee to visit Stony Kill Falls, a gorgeous waterfall a couple hours north of the city. As we turned off the highway and made our way down some backwoods roads, we passed by this old abandoned house. Nothing particularly special, other than looking like the sort of place to fuel…
Over the past week, I’ve been taking I-87 North to scout in Rockland County… …which means I’ve spent about an hour each day stuck in this: As anyone who travels it regularly knows, I-87 can be a hellhole of traffic due to the unholy convergence of multiple interstates and local bridges in the most inopportune…
The joint Scouting New York and Proton Charging contest, in which we challenged eagle-eyed readers to find a particular shooting location from Ghostbusters II, comes to an end on Sunday at midnight! If you’ve e-mailed your answer and not heard back, don’t worry, your entry has been counted (that is, if you got it right!)….

These were big in the late ’70s – early ’80s, when it was the thing to talk to your plants, too. I couldn’t stand the thought of destroying a book, no matter what it was.
I’m not much on the idea of cutting up books, though there are a number of books I can think of which contain enough… let’s just call it… manure to be ideal for fertilizing plants.
Sometimes books just can’t be saved, so why not recycle in a nifty way, love it!
Hmmm. As a librarian, I admit this gives me a twinge. But if the books were damaged beyond use anyway, I guess this is better than trashing them completely!
