On my subway ride home I noticed one bodyguard. Then two. Then three. I mind my own business continuing to read my AS3 book and eventually get ready my phone to take a picture just in case. I look up and there he was– mayor Bloomberg taking the subway just like the rest of us. I had heard he has always been an avid subway rider but you sometimes hear things and never know how much of it is true. It was a very New York experience– seing him doing the same thing I was doing, just minding his own business reading his newspaper.

This week I finally got around to developing my portfolio site at melvinrivera.org. As you may notice from the introduction message, we’re moving to New York in the coming months. This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while. And after a 10 day trip for me, and a 5 week trip for my wife and kid, we decided we just love that city too much to not live in it. For us this means selling our house, finding a tinny apartment in NY and getting a job to go with it. Hence my portfolio online. If you are in NY or have possible job contacts there, give me a shout out. I’m looking for a new place to call home.
