ghostbustour!

A self-directed walking tour I went on with two friends from ITP somehow ended up turning into this, two years later:

The downloadable guides aren’t finished just yet but I guarantee they will be lovely to look at, a marvel to use and out pretty soon, so sign up for the newsletter at ghostbustour.net. All you’ll need after that are a portable video device, an unlimited single day Metrocard, and a comfortable pair of shoes!

Anil, on how we’ve all failed after five years:

“Today, I’m not 100% satisfied with our normal lives. I want the better life I saw from my friends and neighbors for a few brief moments after the worst day of our lives. I grieve not just for all the lives we lost that day, but for the fact that their loss could have helped us all be better, and that it could have inspired us to keep living the way we do at our best.”

andrew: don’t sell yourself short.
On a more serious note: Rebecca Traister’s piece Unhappily ever after, which tears Michael Noer’s article apart, is fine reading but I think the starred letters to the editor in response to it are even better.
