"The Grand Opening," middle section of a Nathaniel Currier lithograph (later Currier and Ives) celebrating Jenny Lind 's first U.S. appearance at New York's Castle Garden on September 11, 1850. Her last U.S. Concert was also at Castle Garden on May 24, 1852. She left for Europe on May 29, 1852.

... who came after, one assumes). Residents of Hell’s Kitchen adamantly refuse to adopt the name Clinton, an old label for the area that real estate brokers tried to bring back at a time when the Hell’s Kitchen description actually applied. As a Hell's Kitchen resident myself, I object to characterizing this as purely motivated by wanting to maintain an aura of danger in the neighborhood. (That...
Mike Verdon’s Python Twitter Tools is less popular and findable than the DewittClinton’s python-twitter (I only found the former from an email on the latter’s mailing list), but it’s a beautiful library. 125 lines, most of which are comments.

... to relevant info, even if its yours) in a responsible (whatever that means to you) manner. DeWittClinton gets very geeky and brings in another aspect that you might want to consider if you’re a marketer with a little bit of know-how… attractiveness. Head over to his blog and read the rest of the entry with the examples he gives. It’s a powerful read that points to the need for both...

For four years, I attended DeWittClinton High School in the Bronx, which probably had more students than any high school in the country. (The school was named after New York's first governor.) The school, which was then nearly a half-century old, had...
But fighting the web is like holding back the ocean; it will route around you or it will wear you down, but will never go away, and it will never tire or give up. Yet in spite of the futility of fighting the web, Silverlight is being positioned in opposition to the web, not in support of it This is one of a few great quotes from DeWittClinton’s post On Fighting the Web itself .

In addition to the aforementioned e-mailing, I also spent a little of the weekend on some personal projects, and did some poking around at the OpenSearch discussion group . I was curious about the fact that OpenSearch 1.1 has been stuck in “Draft 3″ status for well over a year now. Apparently my prodding has provoked DewittClinton , who originally developed and maintained the spec, to...
