A Dinosaur in Times Square

So I begin work tomorrow. It's been an interesting few days so far. Border officers are not really pleasant people (from my sample size of one). I've been put up in a beautiful corporate apartment basically in Times Square. It's just going to make it worse when I have to find an expensive and worse apartment elsewhere.

Hi Eric,
great to see that you found your way round manhattan and brooklyn.
The metrocard is you friend for getting around sans taxi (which
just had a rate increase for 'standing still' time). As I
mentioned before NYC has geeks galore. nylug.org, nyu free
culture group, copynight.org, and nypc . if you need info on
finding rack mounts, equipment, scsi cables and other such
things jump on nylug-talk ml on nylug.org or the local #nylug on
freenode. nycwireless.org has meetings and listing of open access
points if you dont want to use the ubiquitious starbuck. There
are also plenty of wifi cafe around the lower manhattan. Hope
you are used to the few inches of snow and 30-50 degree with
the high humidity!
Anyway, welcome to NYC :-) Dont eat the hotdogs or pretzels!
