On Saturday morning, as I was walking towards the gym on Park Avenue, I saw waves of young adults (although acting like teenagers or frat boys) wearing green (some just a t-shirt or sweater, some a full leprechaun costume) on a procession towards their favorite Irish watering hole to “celebrate” St. Patricks Day in the only way that they seem to believe to be appropriate, besides a 5th Ave. official parade: drink until you pass out.
On Friday morning I had a meeting, so I took the 1 Subway line to 168th St. [mudslide:picasa,0,111219615350942087056,5718647890686730977]
Given, the station was not the coolest in NY, but what shocked me was that at the other end of the platform, there was a man on the floor, and people just passed by as if nobody was there.
So I crossed to the other side, and asked him if he needed help.
Yesterday I had the enourmous pleasure of going to see Sara Sze‘s Infinite Line at Asia Society.
Definitely a pleasure, an exhibition not to be missed, and true to Sarah`s aim: works that a photograph can not capture (not that the copyright zealots of the Asia Society would let you take pictures anyway).
One of the multiple interesting pieces currently being exhibited at the New Museums <a title="https://cortell.net/blog/2012/03/the-ungovernables-party-at-new-museum/" href="https://cortell.net/blog/2012/03/the-ungovernables-party-at-new-museum/" target="_blank">The Ungovernables</a> is Amalia Picas Venn Diagrams. The text under this piece says:
During the period of dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s, gatherings of citizens were closely monitored as they were considered a threat to the government. At the same time group theory and venn diagrams were banned from primary school programs as they could provide a model for subversive thought.

This is the story of an L1 Visa. I will try to make it short, although some details have to be explained to be believed…
In August of 2011 I thought of starting a US subsidiary of my software company in the USA, so I decided to move to New York to start it up and manage it. Since I needed a visa (form I-129) to live and work in the USA, I contacted an immigration lawyer (form G-28 and thousands of dollars) through a friend, and we started the whole process.
