The Standard New York just opened up their gym a couple of weeks ago. It's on the 17th floor and it has 270 degree views of NYC! It's pretty sweet...

They have a gym? It's not in the guest services hand book in my room. Good incentive to get up early tomorrow.

"Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. -- all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity"

HAAAAAAAaaahahahahaha!!! I've got one cat that LOVES to watch the water go down the bowl: I'm screwed if he ever figures this trick out....
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Wait....now that i actually think about it, if the couple didn't know about this before the sick day, then that would imply the cat hid this behavior when the ppl were home. so if he knew enough to do that, then why is he still engaging in the behavior when someone is standing right there watching and videotaping him?

A friend launched his product today - FanFeedr. "One-stop shopping for all the sports news, information, videos and tweets for the teams and players you care about most." - http://www.fanfeedr.com/
That commercial is great. It's an homage to "The Way Things Go," (http://bit.ly/19PIzO) which I still remember seeing for the first time in elementary school. The actual video is 30 minutes long, but I found a 4-minute snippet at http://www.youtube.com/watch...

@Tom, WOW! Pretty cool, love how fire interacts in those cases. Is the snippet skipping when he zooms in on fire or is it for an even longer sequence?

Just a nitpick - I think this was actually from 2006. Also, the sad thing for us in North America was this was advertising a Europe-only model, so the ad never aired over here. (For ad nerds, the title of this piece is "Cog".)
