Every morning I get in, I have to sit here for 5-10 mins for it to boot up, during which time I stare out my office window into Union Square and drink coffee. Sadly, it’s one of the only times when I take the time to notice the city.</p>http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/220943483http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/220943483Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:17:00 -0400union squaremanhattannew york cityofficeiphone video<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krxoh9koF31qzrn7do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/220268659http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/220268659Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:48:44 -0400<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krkk27SbN91qzrn7do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.tanveerbadal.com/2009/10/no-age-photography-le-poisson-rou/">No Age at Le Poisson Rouge</a></p>http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/213945856http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/213945856Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:44:00 -0400no ageconcertpunkrock<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr24bs8Uqs1qzrn7do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Every last one of them.</p>http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/205265997http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/205265997Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:47:52 -0400cayuga lakeupstatenew yorklakeswimming<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr00wkf7SI1qzrn7do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/204294673http://scifilullabies.tumblr.com/post/204294673Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:38:43 -0400kellyhigh linenyc<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqdphmnxEk1qz8pi8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://evrt.tumblr.com/post/194294376">evrt</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><b>Architecture 101: Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban</b> by Louis I Kahn</p> <p><i>Better known as the National Assembly building of Bangladesh, or just simply Dhaka. Designed by Louis I Kahn in 1961, and probably his most famous work.</i></p> <p><i> This is without a doubt in my mind, one of the most incredible structures ever built (and might be my favorite). With its massive scale and basic geometry it almost appears to be an ancient wonder of the world, rather than a building for parliament. Actually <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article827338.ece">‘The Globe And Mail’</a> named it 1 of 7 Architectural Wonders of the world.<br/></i></p> <p><i>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatiyo_Sangshad_Bhaban">source</a>)</i></p> </blockquote> <p>I bought some peanuts outside this building when I was in Dhaka a couple of years ago. I would never have imagined seeing it again in Tumblr of all places.
