911: Pentagon to WTC

It is hard to explain the sense of what NYC is right now. We are in the midst of the worst and the best. I love the fact that New Yorkers are so resilient. I hate the fact that Arabs on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and even some right here in Queens, were cheering in the streets.

The Lost art of conversation

'Borgs are redundant but it is a matter of personal opinion!" In the last four years, I've seen many issues on a diversity of subjects rich in arguments. The cyborg.ipt file (aka borg) has been the pride gem of many because of its uniqueness and its flamboyant manifestations.
