At St Pat’s in NYC

I always try to stop by St Pat’s when I’m in NYC. Catholicism runs strong thorugh many different threads in my life. And when I’m in a Catholic church, I look for St Anthony (my middle name and apparently patron saint).

Well, it wasn’t too heartening to bump into St Jude (Patron of lost causes). It’s been a bit of an interesting time for me lately. :-/ With exam season over, I suppose St Jude might have some free time, or he’s out on a vacation, recuperating.

A blog-driven trip in NYC

A light-hearted romp through the Big Apple, armed with a Blackberry and a 6682 and a faith in the collective wisdom in blogs.

Great read.

Incidentally, I am in New York today, meeting with some folks and recharging my batteries (I was born in Da Queens).

In my hand, I held two keys to all the information I could ever need, and they were each slightly smaller than a packet of cigarettes: the internet-enabled BlackBerry 7100t and Nokia’s 6682. My fate, for two days, would be decided in the ether. How it would all turn out, I had no idea. Would the blogosphere become my passport through the city’s arteries, or a wildly unpredictable rogue intent on leading me up a succession of blind alleys?
