5/3/2019 – work, drive to NYC, Nyla lacrosse, documentary

Friday

UTMH work in the morning. Met with Tony Kieraldo to develop new social media program. David A. Has already indicated he doesn’t want to spend money on it even before seeing the proposal. Turns out he is once again funding the company so this brings out his craziness about money. Then, telecon with a private equity firm. We aren’t mature enough to be of immediate interest. David once again closed the door with his closing comments. A pointless exercise. Seth and I had a telecon with Troy Web about project status. Then lunch with David. He once again expressed himself about the social media campaign. This despite the fact that the revised proposal won’t be forwarded for review until Monday.

Jumped in car at 1 pm for ride down to NYC and Nyla’s lacrosse game at Horace Mann. Talked with Matt Almeida on the way down.

Across the street from the field….

Trinity won the game 8-7. Nyla scored 3 goals. Girls lacrosse is a strange unsatisfactory game.

Drove into Harlem in time to get to the Maysles Documentary Center for a showing of The Feeling of Being Watched by Assia Bondaoui. Andrea had tickets.

This is a personalized story of the investigation of FBI surveillance and harassment of a Muslim community outside of Chicago in the late 1990s into early 2000s. Very good. Discussion following was also stimulating. Mentions of “politics of respectability” – reminds the same in the history of civil rights earlier. Also the need to get beyond the objective journalism trope.

Back to Andrea’s about ten pm.

 

Wednesday – 4/15/2015

Met with Schuyler Duffy at Bluestone Roasting coffee house in Saugerties to discuss his plans for aquaponic vegetable growing in shipping containers. Aquaponics combines fish and water for the nutrient system.

Museum of Arts & Design

Buzzed off to NYC. Was very aggravated by situation with UTM’s website. Out of control development work confused by Seth’s bad oversight and excessive emotional reactions to personalities. Stopped at American Folk Art Museum . Couldn’t engage at all due to repeated calls with Seth Lachterman. After lunch at Columbus Circle at a Whole Foods in the basement where I was overwhelmed by the crowds and too many choices, we went to the Museum of Arts and Design. Talked with Alan Coon about his taking the project over and bringing it to a conclusion. He is bringing on Ira Sher to do the work. Looks like a complete redesign at the level of HTML and CSS.
