Happy Cinco de Mayo! Last night I met up with Mike at Grand Central. They really have modernized and revived the place immensely. So we went out to eat near Union Square and went into Barnes and Noble to look up some books we were recommending to each other. It was good to catch up with each other. He's been living in CT for less than a year, since he had to leave Brooklyn after running out of cash while on his own job search. He is thinking about selling his computer programming services on eBay, and he's been writing up various kinds of price schedules and deliverables structures. Sounds like he's angling towards something very entrepeneurial. If the advertisement works on eBay, it could actually be a way to get work. We are both on a business networking site called Ryze. It is a bit complicated using a business network to try to get work, since you are talking to both potential allies and potential competitors. The motivation to be on eBay may turn things enough to get a more earnest response.
[ Later ] I just got back from lunch, a Sethu and I did a quick spin around Rockafeller Center. I showed him Atlas, Prometheus, and a few places that nice artwork and good architecture.
[ Later ] I had a little allergy incident, so crashed a little early.
