Protesters Outside My Door

Protesters in Union SquareIt was quite a sight to walk outside my apartment today and be surronded by thousands and thousands of protesters.

Regardless of what you think of their cause, their skills of organization are incredible.

Good Luck to the Big Easy

While I wish everyone in the area the best, I wonder what has happened to the new students at Tulane preparing to move in. The storm hasn't made official landfall and Tulane's web servers are apparently already down.

I'm also interested in how New Orleans's local news media (specifically television) is getting by.
