Another close-up on a work currently on display at the #LifeOfCats show at @japansociety_nyc. This one shows a hell run by cats and is from 1891. Yes, that's a rat being crucified. Oh the felinity! This show ends in a week! Go see it now if you're a cat person in the #NYC area like me!

This is why we can't have nice things: Forbes (Steve or Staff, can't tell) uses such simplistic if/then (aka straw man) arguments rather than delving into a real, adult debate about the #TPP/#TransPacificPartnership.

Want an unofficial 1st gen #GoogleCardboard for $3 shipped? Do what I did & go here: go.thepete.org/TDCardboard TinyDeal ships from China or select US (see lower right corner) & pay $2 more for 5-7 day shipping (from China: 21-30 days). This is the same one I own and I love it.

I took photos w/@GoogleGlass and then imported them to my iPad, then Google Photos failed to notice It had already pulled the same photos from my Glass and pulled them from my iPad again. #GoogleFail #GooglePhotosFail #GoogleOops #Goops

So, @POTUS claims, in a Twitter AMA, that the reason the #TPP isn't public is bc it's still being negotiated. So, how about making a draft public then? Don't claim it's not secret until you at least do that. I mean, #sheesh. We're not #stupid.

SUBWAY FUN with thepete! The "Awesome Graffiti at 191st!" ep! #SubwayFun #NYC #subway #graffiti

Check it out! It's a thrilling (OK, maybe that's a little strong) new episode of SUBWAY FUN with thepete! In this episode I take you underground to a tunnel that got an amazing paint-job this past weekend. Have a look!

Some of this video is #throughglass while some of it is #throughmyiPhone5s :)

Here is a slightly wobbly 14-second #timelapse/#hyperlapse video-walkthrough of the #191st1Train #tunnel. #WashingtonHeights #NYC #subway #NYClife full version coming soon to thepete.com & my YouTube.
