Wow...the weekend flew by. We managed to grab brunch at Noho Star on Saturday then headed up to Strand books. This was a mistake. I forgot that on the weekend, Strand books is the last place for someone who doesn't like crowds in small confined spaces. We quickly fled and walked over to check out a pet store on Greenwich, then circled back to a not-so-crowded B&N. Sunday was reserved for running donations over to Housing Works, checking out the contents of my former apartment (which are in a storage locker in Long Island City) and running coins through a Coinstar machine at the local Pathmark.

Today's geek adventure was a failed attempt to register my cell phone to the AT&T Wireless - AOL Instant Messenger gateway. About halfway through the process (in which 10+ SMS messages must be sent to and acknowledge by your cell phone) my phone ceased receiving messages. None. Zero. Now, about 11 hours later, all of the remaining messages have been received. Gotta say, this isn't looking like a very positive experience (you have to pre-register an AOL shortname to the service which returns with a four digit number to SMS to).
