I did not have a clear idea of how Broadway worked before living in New York. I understand better now but still it is something more complicated than I expected. Broadway refers to the live theatre culture in New York City. It is also the name of a street running diagonally south/north across the grid […]

I went with some Wikipedians to see The Machine on Thursday 12 September 2013. This was a telling of Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov, which was a story I already enjoyed. In the play the chess matches were actually played and shown on a large screen to the audience. I thought that it was interesting […]

I cannot believe this place. The Frick Collection has to be one of the best representative collections in the United States of European art from 1500-1850. It is housed in a museum which used to be someone’s house, and it is right next to Central Park in the Upper East Side. I had never seen […]

Richard Knipel ([[user:Pharos]]) took me to the Museum of Modern Art the night of Friday 11th May. On Wednesday 9 May I was at a conference at Consumer Reports for the Choosing Wisely program, and at this conference I met collaborators in the program and came to understand what the program would mean to them. […]

I went out the next day with Nandan and we Sarukh and Abdul and they said they would show us around Kolkata. They pointed out different things and played frisbee in a park on our way to the Victoria Memorial, which was easily the best-presented museum I have yet seen in India due to the […]
