Some hypocritical and absurd questions found in the DS-160 form, needed to get a US Visa:
Do you have a mental or physical disorder that poses or is likely to pose a threat to the safety or welfare of yourself or others? Are you or have you ever been a drug abuser or addict? Have you ever violated, or engaged in a conspiracy to violate, any law relating to controlled substances?
A few days ago, in a meeting at the Setai Hotel in NY, Michael (with over 3 decades of experience working with US and Spanish corporations) perfectly described what is like to do business between the USA and Spain:
A struggle between American arrogance and Spanish pride
This morning I walked by the smallest art gallery in NY, 125windowgallery, on 47th between 3rd and Lexington Avenue:

The best thing about that gallery is that you do not need to “go in” 😉
Excuse to try a new photo plug-in for WP:
First photo: the Chrysler building as seen from my living room window.
Second photo: same thing on a foggy day… Building gone! (no Image Editing here).
Third photo: the Empire State Building, from the living room, decorated with “Spanish flags colors”

Is this what the parks of the future will look like?

It will be, if we do not do something about it now.
Last Saturday I went to the ArtHack Exhibit closing party at 319 Scholes St, Brooklyn (New York).
Located in an industrial complex in Brooklyn, at night, loooong two blocks from the subway, graffiti all over, small door… that gave way to heaven: young (I was the oldest hacker in that space, but I did not feel that way) energetic happy people tinkering with technology and proudly showing their “toys” (hacks, mashups, creations, or whatever).
When the wind and cold/warm air currents collide while snowing, you get the funny “snowing upwards” effect (and sideways also, of course). The 5ºF “real feel” is not so funny though 😉
