Year two wrap-up
I’m off to Bogotá for a couple of weeks, and even though the two-year CM anniversary (cotton!) is a month away, let’s do a recap of the more prominent articles some newer readers may have missed. Chronological:
- Parking at Carnival Center, which has never actually been a problem for me — maybe because I go to the less mainstream productions? But even for the sold-out Cleveland Orchestra show the lot just to the west of the center had spaces.
- Plans for the non-museum part of Museum Park.
- After this, the Carnival Center website got completely re-designed, though some problems linger (I sent them an e-mail a couple of months ago pointing out a few of the lingering problems; maybe a writeup on what they’ve fixed sometime soon).
- South Beach synagogues.
- Yambo.
- Rick Ross album review. I think I’ve listened to that CD maybe once since writing that.
- Tap-tap.
- One of the gallery hop picture series — with a quality passed out guy!
- Ignorance the book review.
- Michael Froomkin’s guest-post: Captain’s Tavern.
- Make Miami-Dade wireless meeting writeup.
- The future of newspapers.
- Big Carnival Center guided tour.
- Driving with Mr. Alesh, my woozy video.
- Who’s afraid of a little fight?: the UM/FIU football brawl.
- Irritating Dogma Grill.
- Los Tres Amigos.
- Algae in Biscayne Bay explained.
- How a marina works.
- Babalu deletes a comment.
- Speaking of which, Babalu vs. SotP.
- Link to all articles tagged “Basel” for those so inclined.
- The New York Times and Castro.
- Miami Vice movie: better on DVD.
- MAM/MAC partnership.
- Busted WLRN website (nothing has changed, btw).
- On flickr: The Houses of Morningside — here is the post.
- Herzog’s talk and implications for the new MAM building.
- Bored? How about a 135 comment thread.
- Cleveland Orchestra at Carnival.
- Art Center SF Super Bowl Super Store.
- Fruit and Spice Park (to which, BTW, Liz Donovan has some clarifications ).
- Consider the trans-fats ban.
- I suggested recycling garbage cans, and people actually objected!
- Miami 21.
- Miami cops beat up photographers fiasco.
- I dropped the ball on the Are newspapers shallow or is it the readers discussion, but it’s worth revisiting.
- The Miami tree master-plan.
Whew! I guess I need to do that more often then once a year. Here is the previous list (and yes, Haardvark is going on 4 years without getting updated). Other then that, don’t worry, there are a few articles pre-written and scheduled for the next two weeks. Otherwise, I’ll see you on April 4th.

Hopefully the blogroll will be back by then???
Sheesh.

Colombia? Cool, bring me back a pack of Piel Rojas, I’ll probably have fallen off the wagon by then.
Looks like some printouts are in order.
Alesh:
You are going on vacation to Bogotá? The one in Colombia, not Jersey? Well, good luck. Don’t get yourself kidnapped or anything. Don’t eat anything either. Or drink anything except alcohol (which you can also use to wash your wounds if you are robbed and assaulted). Forewarned is forearmed. Otherwise, have a grand time; it’s a beautiful country.
funny you should say that, manuael – on monday i totally got mugged for about $2000 worth of camera gear (not the least of which was an SD card with a week´s worth of photos on it), a jacket, and a super dope hat I´d just bought (fwiw, i was being a total dick, photographing on an abandoned side street in downtown)
other then that, bogota is amazing. seriously. second-rate pocket snapshots coming up when I get back next week.
Alesh:
Except for the time, which was pretty precise, my “prediction” was not particularly impressive. No tourist leaves that country without leaving something of himself behind. You were lucky it was just camera equipment and not brain matter on the sidewalk. See America first, as they used to say.
