I've been working remotely for about 5 years and have a handy Foursquare list of places that I've found to be good working locations, in NYC and beyond:

Another Foursquare list - this has a bunch of spots in NYC but spans a handful of other US cities as well as a dozen European ones:

We're working on getting this up and running for Pages as well. We've been trying out a few different solutions but haven't found the right approach that also delivers the user experience we are aiming for. Pages and Event Updating are 2 of our main Facebook goals for the first part of 2014 so I hope to have some progress to report soon!

Re: Innovative New Bike Light Turns Off When You Stop Moving: Gothamist

Or you could just get a Dynamo light- uses no electricity and since it gets power from your bike, it will 'turn off' when you stop moving

Dude. Neutrinos go faster than the speed of light now. If we Einstein's laws are out the window, I think we can worry about spelling later.

This is an even better solution that what Nick proposed in his recent post about Rain in NYC over at BecomeANewYorker.com!

Re: Kegs In The City: Getting A Keg In Your Tiny NYC Apartment

Brooklyn Beer and Soda is my go-to spot: $270ish total includes Budweiser keg, $10 tap rental, $10 bucket rental, a dozen bags of ice or so, $30 delivery/pickup fee and $100 refundable deposit. All in all, $170 isnt too shabby for a keg full o' beer

haha, I know, Im the lamest jumper in the shot- but I rolled my ankle a few days prior in Romania, so I was taking it easy. That's right, Im blaming my lame jump on an old Romanian hiking injury.

This was 5 Turkish Lira (~$3 USD), but I ended up giving him a 10 Lira bill because I didn't have any smaller bills and he was pretty awesome. We were in Gaziantep, Turkey (commonly known as Antep).

I am just starting to use Ballpark (awesome tool, by the way) and I love having Highrise integration, but I would love to be able to sync/import my contacts from there to Ballpark. Just throwing that out there since this is the last blog post I could find about Highrise integrations.

I was at Apotheke last weekend for a drink and had two of the best cocktails I've found: Edamame with Suso and the Spicy Tomato Basil.

I've actually been looking for Roosevelt Island blogs for a future post- gracias Nate.

And Glenn, I think having 'Texas' in the name disqualifies your site.

#6 is great- I had no idea that places track reservations over time... makes sense, but not something that you think of right off the bat.

Are there benefits to calling the restaurant directly vs using something like OpenTable?

Obama is largely powerless to stop it though; if he had said he opposed it, many in NYC, especially in Manhattan (the opposition is primarily in the outer boroughs) would have seen it as an unwanted intrusion into local issues.

If you have a Mac, you can try out their beta backup tool: http://staff.tumblr.com/post/286303145/tumblr-bac...

I make a local copy every couple of months and seems to work great.

I use Wordpress when I need a fully featured blog or site but Tumbler is much better for quick posts or linkblogs or for those new to online publishing. Its actually interesting to read about how tumblelogs (read: Tumblr) came about as a way to aggregate cool things you find while 'tumbling' around the internet.

And I definitely disagree that a novice can setup a self-hosted WP site in 10 minutes... maybe if they have a server that provides Fantastico or some other One-click install service, but even then I'd be surprised to see a n00b start a self-hosted site that is 100% ready ane customized in <30 minutes

Where is RSS? Type in your blog name/rss: examplesite.tumblr.com/rss
Incredibly simple, as it should be.

And I, for one, think its brilliantly refreshing to see a service/network/site focus on usability and features rather than scrambling for the next 'viral' hit- I dont need to see 15 share buttons on every site for everything from twitter to Buzz to Mr Wong. I get why sites like TC put them out there as huge buttons- their ad revenue depends on eyeballs; but Tumblr has no motivation to pull artificial traffic. But if you do want to add some, its very easy to go get a snippet of code from ShareThis and copy+paste it into your theme code.
