I'm a journalist who codes, writes and shoots, compelled by music and movement. I miss liner notes.

I took my camera to the final adult night at one of New York’s last indoor skating rinks, the weekend before it went out of business, to capture the joy and loss of the community that called it home. thedailybeast.com/the-last-a…

After holding it together for 48 hours, it was the "Stakes" remix that finally brought tears.
That piano chord progression. It cuts straight to the uncertainty, the beauty, the wild hope. It cuts straight to my 19-year-old self.

The @freep High School Apprenticeship Program is more than 30 years old. Countless journalists got their start there as high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The shadowed mentor reporters and their stories run in the paper.

Before working on this tool, the only New York rental assistance effort I'd heard of was rent stabilization. Here, @rondakaysen details plenty more.
Discover the ones for which you might qualify. Or simply enjoy @TomiIllo's charming illustrations.

In early 2020 the subway was so eerily empty "it was like the zombie apocalypse," a Brooklyn commuter told me.
What's it like now? @La__Ley, @migold, @jeffreyesinger, @BenjaminNorman_ and I visited stations to find out. nyti.ms/3nuvQqj

As a Detroiter steeped in car culture, I didn't anticipate the deep personal resonance of the R-32 subway train until I talked to wistful riders. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

As cool as the Brightliners looked, I wanted to reflect how they'd bonded folks across a range of ages and cultural backgrounds. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

I'm not uncoordinated. But the teams I encountered training for today's Double Dutch Holiday Classic at The Apollo had me feeling brand new. nyti.ms/3Ipjrgi

Stunned. Rich was not only a brilliant journalist, he was one of the very few in that newsroom circa 2005 when I got there who had a clue what I and my team did. I still have a copy somewhere of the “Meislin Memo” in which he basically mapped out the NYT’s digital figure.

Dang. Decades ago, he laid the groundwork for the Pulitzer-winning Covid-19 data efforts of our tech teams.
Glad he was here long enough to see that honor.
