  • 10th Anniversary

    It came and it went and I totally missed it.

    Without fanfare of any sort, Station in the Metro turned ten a little over a month ago. Well, actually, it’s a tiny bit older than that, but that’s the date of the first column I wrote on what I then thought would be a weekly […]

  • Hello SquareSpace

    Yes, the design has changed once again. But more importantly, so has the entire back end, the hosting, and the RSS feed.

    Bear with me for a few more days as we make the transition (there will be some broken links and some weird formatting — feel free to alert me), but if you’re used to reading Station in the Metro through your feed reader, you’ll need to update the feed.

  • The old girl broke her back; She’ll never jump again.

    I just wanted to get down my thoughts on the finale of Battlestar Galactica while they’re fresh in my head. Keep in mind that my mind is like a sieve, and I’ve likely forgotten critical points presented earlier in the series, and I may need to be gently reminded by your thoughtful comments.

  • FlintPhone

    Download the Ringtone

    In celebration of finally getting a new working iPhone, and the return of a working external speaker through which to hear ringtones, I though I would share my iPhone ringtone: the Flintphone. This is the ringtone for Derek Flint’s direct line to the President in the 1966 movie Our Man Flint, which was a parody of the James Bond movies of the day. More importantly, the ringtone would also be later used as the sound of the electronic handcuffs in Hudson Hawk. Enjoy!

    (This ringtone is provided only as a fan service, and I receive no money whatsoever for its distribution. The sound itself was found anonymously on the internet, but I suspect it is ©1966 20th Century Fox.)
