Michael Hauptman · 9:36 PM

i did an about face when i got to avenue d

Blake Ian · 9:36 PM

I have no CBS... I am a cord cutter!

Michael Hauptman · 9:36 PM

and saw some suspicious scaffolding

Michael Hauptman · 9:36 PM

oh right!

Blake Ian · 9:36 PM

Xbox and Apple Tv

Michael Hauptman · 9:37 PM

well this may be the one reason for cable

Michael Hauptman · 9:37 PM

up to minute live news feed of stupid people knee deep in storms

Blake Ian · 9:37 PM

hahah

Blake Ian · 9:37 PM

so about an hour ago, boredom and curiosity got the better of me

Michael Hauptman · 9:38 PM

andd...

Blake Ian · 9:38 PM

I had a great idea... I am going up to my roof to see if I can get some good iPhone shots of the river and the FDR

Blake Ian · 9:38 PM

Hit the roof button in the elevator and it did not illuminate!

Blake Ian · 9:39 PM

But I was not discouraged.... I used the ole "hit 37 and walk back stairs" trick

Michael Hauptman · 9:39 PM

works EVERY time

Michael Hauptman · 9:39 PM

shit

Blake Ian · 9:39 PM

at the top of those stairs it is written on blue tape on the door... DO NOT OPEN

Michael Hauptman · 9:39 PM

lights flickering

Blake Ian · 9:39 PM

uh ohhh

Blake Ian · 9:39 PM

Michael Hauptman · 9:39 PM

Michael Hauptman · 9:40 PM

Blake Ian · 9:40 PM

Michael Hauptman · 9:40 PM

im at some weird nexus of all the zones

Michael Hauptman · 9:40 PM

Blake Ian · 9:40 PM

who is determining that kind of accuracy

Michael Hauptman · 9:40 PM

hahah we were debating that

Blake Ian · 9:40 PM

Im actually at a zone nexus myself

Michael Hauptman · 9:41 PM

im assumiung very smart men

Michael Hauptman · 9:41 PM

im PRAYING very smart men

Blake Ian · 9:41 PM

or very charismatic and convincing men more likely

Blake Ian · 9:41 PM

SO.... if I may continue

Michael Hauptman · 9:41 PM

how do we make the top bar flicker when there is a new message

Blake Ian · 9:41 PM

its in the feature requests

Blake Ian · 9:41 PM

Michael Hauptman · 9:42 PM

haha ok

Michael Hauptman · 9:42 PM

Blake Ian · 9:42 PM

Blake Ian · 9:42 PM

also... SOUND! hahah

Blake Ian · 9:42 PM

but I digress

Michael Hauptman · 9:42 PM

anywho

Blake Ian · 9:42 PM

So I wasn't sure exactly what this person meant by DO NOT OPEN

Blake Ian · 9:43 PM

so anyway.... as Im opening the door

Blake Ian · 9:43 PM

with the camera app open and ready to go, so I can jump out there grab a few quick shots, maybe 10 sec vid and get back in....

Blake Ian · 9:44 PM

From the outside once it closes

Michael Hauptman · 9:45 PM

geez

Michael Hauptman · 9:45 PM

Blake Ian · 9:46 PM

I grabbed the hose that happened to be next to the door and threw it into the doorway to stop it from closing

Blake Ian · 9:46 PM

success!

Michael Hauptman · 9:46 PM

great success

Michael Hauptman · 9:46 PM

the wrost is about to come

Michael Hauptman · 9:46 PM

Michael Hauptman · 9:46 PM

and away from your windows

Michael Hauptman · 9:46 PM

and off my train!!

Blake Ian · 9:46 PM

Blake Ian · 9:47 PM

reporter standing right next to a downed traffic light

Michael Hauptman · 10:13 PM

"that is quite ominous, its stil lworking but dangerous"

Michael Hauptman · 10:13 PM

"if that thing were to swing and hit a car or a person that would cause some serious injury and damage"

Michael Hauptman · 10:14 PM

Michael Hauptman · 10:17 PM

reporter just got a mouthfull of seawater

Blake Ian · 10:21 PM

HAHAH

Blake Ian · 10:22 PM

cannot copy was a conscious choice by Jordan and myself a while back

Blake Ian · 10:22 PM

becoming a common practice on lyric sites, movie quote sites etc...

Blake Ian · 10:23 PM

if you want to quote content from Tawkers you use the shares we have built in, or you have folks come to the tawk!

Blake Ian · 10:23 PM

If you think about it... it's actually a decision after your own heart Mikey : )

Blake Ian · 10:24 PM

★ Spotlighted from Eric Goldsmith

“the statue of liberty pic is not real bc i can see it from my window”

Blake Ian · 10:25 PM

And there you have it folks... Eric Goldsmith from Jersey City has confirmed that pic, which could NEVER be real, is in fact... NOT. : )

Michael Hauptman · 10:32 PM

it makes sense but very unnatural at the moment

Michael Hauptman · 10:32 PM

Michael Hauptman · 10:32 PM
