Things We Saw from His Cab
Max Cohen picks me up on the corner of Bond and Lafayette Streets, in downtown Manhattan, at the cabstand where he rents his car. He’s in a beanie, flannel, and jeans, with Rockstar energy drinks crammed into his backpack for fuel. For the next 24 hours, Cohen will pick up passengers around the city, adding up the fares in his head as he goes. He’ll also document the whole thing on his photo blog, Things I See from My Cab.
Cohen is not your typical cabbie — he’s a struggling filmmaker, getting his MBA, who drives on the weekends. He made an appearance in the New Yorker recently, when he tried to make the fastest lap around Manhattan (or something like that). But Cohen does spew cabbie wisdom: Never go to a gas station between 4 and 5, am or pm, he warns. There are only 10 of them in Manhattan, and this is the time that cabbies need to fill up.
Cabbies can always spot a puker. “It’s like the cabbie version of gaydar,” he says. Cohen’s craziest cab story? The tranny fight in his back seat. The weirdest thing he’s found at the end of a shift? A didgeridoo.
We rode shotgun with Cohen for a night to see what his blog is all about.

Estamos super animados de anunciar o lançamento oficial do Storyboard, o novo lar de entrevistas e perfis dos usuários da comunidade criativa do Tumblr.
Publicaremos destaques de criativos do nosso universo super diverso, incluindo escritores, músicos, animadores, cientistas, artistas, colecionadores, chefs, comediantes e todos que tenham uma ótima história para contar. Hoje escrevemos sobre o Michael Stipe, The New York Times, o Afeganistão, e as logísticas do design do nosso Dashboard.
Queremos ouvir de você também! Nos mande histórias (ou até idéias de histórias) para publicarmos, poste no Tumblr com a tag #storyboard.
Nossos editores vão monitorar a tag e a interação da comunidade, promovendo as histórias mais legais. Caso sua história seja selecionada pediremos que escreva mais para uma publicação dentro do próprio Storyboard.
A grande festa de lançamento do Storyboard será em Nova Iorque no dia 10 de Maio na Powerhouse Arena, das 19h-21h, com convidados especiais… mas se estiver por aqui, não fique triste! Logo anunciaremos a nossa própria surpresa brasileira em honra da nossa querida comunidade!

YES. Warner Bros. has unveiled a new trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises,” the 3rd and final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. The film is out July 20, and we can’t wait for it.
I’m majoring in the New Media program. My focus is on web design but that could change. When I get there I am more excited to dorm though than for classes because I’m going to be a transfer student. I’ve done the college thing and it’s nothing new to me anymore :}…and I see we already follower each other on here so thats good lol.

Some users may be experiencing a transient issue with re-expanded t.co links not showing up in timelines.
Our engineers are investigating this issue.
And it said hello right back! Seriously though, I just checked out the new Vimeo, and boy are my eyes excited. The videos looks better than ever, and there’s lots of other new stuff to get pumped about. Take it for a spin yourself at vimeo.com/new.
