Help! NYC flats?Category: flat hunt
Okay, flat hunting in NYC for my brother has not been going so well. Thanks, (e:Heidi) for putting me in contact with Lisa! I have sent her an email.
My brother and I are visiting NYC to check out flats from Thursday to Sunday this coming week. It's making us really nervous. He needs to move to NYC in the second week of May. We have been looking at craigslist and nycdwellers.com for prospective places. Craigslist, NYC is like 100X dodgier than any craigslist I have looked at! Are we missing any good sources such as artvoice for NYC or something?
Do you know of any friends/contacts who are leasing out places in the range of $900 - $1500 a month? We have been told to hire a broker but I am inclined to take (e:lauren)'s advice and directly talk with people who are leasing their own places out.

My next computing solution...Category: i-tech
Will definitely NOT be a boring old laptop or an ipad. Both lack the flexible stylus/tablet based solution I need. Though this is M$, you have to agree that the concept interface is pretty sweet.

Dear upstairs neighbour,Category: whine
If you are the one playing "metalcore"-ish music at full blast right now:
a) I resent the noise.
b) I am trying to write a grant here, and the signalling pathways are not getting any easier.
c) Your taste in music sucks. Bleh. Check out "Running Wild". At the very least, you will know how heavy metal can sound almost as good as baroque.
d) If you don't stop in the next hour, I may have to hotfoot it to the office or call the manager and be a pain in your existence.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh.
PS: The noise stopped. Maybe the neighbour reads (e:strip) or got tired of their own crappy music.

Re (e:jim,51318) - :::link::: an Android-based e-ink tablet. E Ink is what they use in most e-readers, since it requires much less power than LED and is supposed to be easier to read in sunlight.

Non-driver's State ID: Experiences?Category: buffalo
For some complicated reasons that I cannot control, my passport will be in NYC and I will be here in Buffalo for a whole of 20 days. This is creeping the wits out of me right now. Remember that island poll where your flat burns down and you are allowed to take just one thing? (e:tinypliny,49243) Well... I am revising my answer big time. I think I will be glad with just my passport.
Mainly, because of this lot...
And so, I need to get my non-driver state ID before my passport goes away on its AWOL tour. I think I have all the documents now - I checked the DMV site.
Has anyone here ever applied for it? How long does it take? Any pearls of wisdom for getting this thing with the least amount of disruption to a particularly busy workday?

I GOT IT!!! Precisely two weeks later. Many thanks, DMV, you got my address incomplete, though...

It's on its way. It was very painless! One of the reasons why US is the best country in the world when it comes to the workforce-efficiency. :-)

The non-drivers license process is just like the drivers license process from what I remember what (e:leetee) experienced. You go, you show your documents, you get your photo taken. You get a temp id/license and your "real" one comes in the mail in a couple of weeks.

That is so funny tiny! I know what my face would look like. That is a nice feature. I should see if I have that available.
That is too funny. I wonder if they met to discuss that graphic.
