For nerd-alert-y things from people who have lived on Park Street. Duh.

The quest for radioactive items on eBay.

Some hit antique stalls with their CDV-700s cranked, hoping to spook dealers into a discount. Others surreptitiously palm an RM-60 while listening on earphones for telltale clicks from cheap old candy dishes and sickly pale-green milk pitchers. These mysterious men are a most obscure group of antique collectors, and they seek an invisible prize scorned by all others: radiation.

Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment

My weekend at the Grand Hyatt



I'm quite proud of this picture (from my room on the 31st floor). It's a composite of 2 cell-phone pix. You can see the top of the south facade of Grand Central Terminal, and the little bridge that takes Park Ave through the station. One hotel entrance is right off that ramp.
