Since the Olympics, my blogging has been sparse. This seems silly given how much time I spend each day essentially talking out ideas with myself. Why don’t I record some of these monologues on the internet? Contributing factors appear to include an innate inability to keep to a schedule, as well as a deep-seated apprehension [...]
Yesterday I discovered (and subsequently announced) that Google Transit had finally come to Rhode Island. For those not familiar, Google Transit allows any public transportation system to integrate their route information with the “get directions” feature on google maps. Brilliantly, the service is completely free, so all a city needs to do to take advantage [...]
Last month I was delighted to announce that Passive-Aggressive Notes is a finalist in the SXSW 2008 Web Awards’ blog category. This in turn makes us eligible for the coveted People’s Choice Award, so if you’re a person, don’t let this opportunity for voting pass you by.

Spike’s on Thayer Street has two types of napkin dispenser in close proximity. They both dispense the same napkins, but it’s still nice to have options.
By possessing this blog, I’ve been permitted to proclaim a passion for Pinkberry through multiple past postings. Alas, Pinkberry’s presence is limited, and this “Providence” blogger’s propensity for public Pinkberry proclamations is possibly inappropriate.

My friend Matt is curious why so many banks seem to be securing prime commercial real estate. It doesn’t seem to be much of an issue here in Providence (my bank’s presence near Brown is limited to ATMs), but when I go home to NYC, there do seem to be a lot of banks constantly [...]
I’m a few days late in mentioning it, but according to the Providence Phoenix my friend David Segal is “the hippest guy in [Rhode Island's] state government”. I always knew David was a hip guy, but until now, I didn’t realize just how hip he was. Apparently one friend likens Dave to “Adrian Grenier’s hip [...]
You know how this blog is positively inundated with posts about Providence? It turns out I now have a second venue for my Providence-related musings. Some friends of mine recently started the Providence Daily Dose (think Gothamist for Providence). Sensing that their site is the dose of bloggie goodness Providence’s urban revival so desperately needs, [...]
