A gift of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson takes some of the more monolithic architecture of NYC and transforms it into a series of waterfalls along the East River.

In the eyes of this distant traveller a wonderful glimmmer of light and water brings something special to our city.

The exhibit is free to anyone who can get around the East River and amazing. Joine on this tour and get up close with this video:

George Carlin spent the last years of his life lambasting the rulers, the banks and the secret societies that rule Americans. Trying his hardest to use humor to open the eyes of his audiences.

May 14th to 19th the Koreannovation Korea Trade Show comes to New York City.

Korea provided many new and innovative gadgets. Everything from Pet Humidifier, a Mega Quake Prime that shakes your butt to lose calories and every kind of new gadget you could think of.

Here is a brilliant presentation of Nadia Russ prints interspersed with a fabulous collection of automobiles and a brilliant sound track.

Both John McCain and Barack Obama rejected an offer Sunday made by Mayor Bloomberg and ABC over their insistence of a monopoly primetime broadcast. Both candidates did not want it limited to one network. While I am sure the Disney Corporation is overjoyed that Bloomberg tried to cork the bottle on this historic event with their ABC Corporation, the loser here is New York City.
