NYC can be so pretty when it’s bone-chilling cold

Starting the new near off right with Cuban food and salsa dancing!

Strangely, I really love new York when it’s raining

This is why I don’t eat Sbarro’s

Stuck under an awning on 31st st in a downpour

Alternate side parking is the worst thing ever. But at least the scenery was nice today!

So everyone keeps asking me what I’m doing now that I’ve finished my master’s degree. Here’s a real general recap of what I’ve got going on:

• Working on a new social networking project / business
• Working on a charity project (a geeky one)
• Continuing to work with a buddy on his finance blog
• Working on my old site: PrintingChoice.com
• Writing for Mashable and Gizmodo
• And maybe writing a book!

Sounds like a lot of stuff, and it is. Trying to divvy my time up is tough, but most of these things are just a few hours a week. The big one is the first one. Wish me luck!

Lots of crazy stuff happening lately.

Kristen graduated last week, which was awesome! Her hair model walked the catwalk with her enormous hair, of which Kristen hand sewed extensions. Pretty rad!

I got a story on the front page of FastCompany.com (now at http://www.fastcompany.com/1619551/four-square-party-dennis-crowley-new-york) all weekend. Apparently I just missed bumping into Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore at the party the story is about by 15 minutes. Bogus!

Only 4 more weeks til school is out. This week I’m working on 2 infographics and 2 stories for Mashable, launching ad campaigns for my newley redesigned http://www.printingchoice.com, and doing some work on http://iswearing.com with my buddy, Bob.

So that’s the lightning recap for the week! Good stuff.
