I picked up a pretty set of postcards from East West Books in New York City (78 Fifth Avenue at 14th). The bookstore feels great. Check it out if you find yourself in the area. It's open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM. http://www.eastwestnyc.com , +1 212 243 5994.
Things to remember next time I'm in New York: Jim Suto highly
recommends Little Lad's Restaurant and Cafe, which has a USD 2.99
vegan buffet special (eat-in) of homemade soups, salads, entrees, and
breads. 120 Broadway downstairs. Totally vegan – no animal products.
Way cool!
I've forgotten my laptop power cord at IBM (meep!), so life will be
*very* interesting for the next few days. This just means that I'll be
forced to keep a paper journal of my time then, which is not a bad
thing.
Fortunately I have four hours of battery life if I'm fairly
conservative about them, which should be enough time to grab all the
important information and even last me through mail-check on Monday
afternoon. I won't take my laptop on the trip, though, so I just have
to plan everything carefully.
Here's the plan:
| Thu morning | Ride bus to NY |
| Thu afternoon | Settle in, prep for party |
| Thu evening | Greater IBM Connection, NYC IBM happy hour (also, NYC IBM bloggers meetup?) |
| Fri morning | IBM 39 Broadway |
| Fri afternoon | IBM 11 Madison Ave |
| Fri evening | Hang out with Ernest |
| Sat | Hang out with host, friends and other people who pass by |
| Sun | Hang out with host, friends and other people who pass by |
| Mon morning | Ride bus to Toronto. |
| Mon afternoon | Class |
| Mon evening | REST! |
You can reach me at +1 416 823 2669. Whee!

I love his headline! And he's a personal/business coach, too. I wonder if I can set up an informational interview while I'm down in NY…
I definitely have to write about using LinkedIn to look for role models.
