HAIFA: Anti-Americanism Bodega Ban (AABB) Confirmed

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 5:23 pm

“The thing is, the Haifa proprietor seemed pleased on 9/11. that was enuf for us, ok.”

Well, that settles it, then.

“Did you not, in fact, on the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, whistle a jaunty, non-Western melody while pushing a broom past a case full of expired dairy products? Answer the question, sir!

Chowhound Today: India Palace (Try Our Salad!)

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 2:00 pm

Lil’ thread today on Chowhound about India Palace on Vanderbilt Ave. Thanks to dirtgirl for the kind words about DAILY HEIGHTS’ Review/deconstruction of Traditional Indian Salad.

Still no details on the anti-Americanism ban of Haifa on Flatbush, but we haven’t given up hope yet.

One Dollar for DAILY HEIGHTS, One Good Deal for You

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 12:25 pm

dollar.jpgWe’ll keep short (mercifully shorter than PBS would): The big payoff for running DAILY HEIGHTS–besides the 21 cents we made yesterday from Google Ad clicks–is kind praise from fellow Brooklyn people like Chuck: “The recent ‘protestors’, ‘money’ and ‘van helsing’ posts have been local, relevant and really, really funny. And the WiFi listing was also very handy. Just want to say thanks for the entertainment and the information.”

We love that. But since our web hosting provider will not accept “kind praise” in exchange for 50 gigabytes of bandwidth a month, today’s goal is to make DAILY HEIGHTS pay for itself.

Here’s the pitch: Whether you’re a restaurateur, graphic/web designer, dog walker or just somebody with an event to promote, one dollar to reach 300+ neighborhood people per day seems like a pretty good deal, doesn’t it?

What if I don’t have a website? We can carve out a small corner of DAILY HEIGHTS just for you, for free. Or we can help you set up a free website, or find a web designer who can do a decent, professional job for you. Now, click here to place your ad.

    License March pic - 310_small.jpgQ. Should undocumented immigrants be allowed to have licenses?

    Ivis: “It depends … if a person wants a license for terrorism purposes, then the government should investigate them.”

    GET A BLOG: Typepad 90 Days Free with Secret DAILYHEIGHTS Code

    Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 9:33 am

    typepad_home_right.jpgDAILY HEIGHTS hooks you up: Typepad is an easy to use, feature-packed hosted blogging service. Setting up a Typepad account takes about 5 minutes. You can get a 30-day free trial at the Typepad site, but 30 days turns out to be remarkably short in blog time.

    Solution: The people at Six Apart set up a special 90-day free trial account code for 10 people who read this site. Contact DH for the code.

    Ninety days is just about the perfect amount of time to determine whether you want to (1) stay with Typepad, which will cost you $4.95 or more a month, or (2) like we did, get your own server space and install Movable Type, the powerful (though far from perfect! argh!) engine behind Typepad. Movable Type costs up to $99, depending on the type of license, or FREE if you are willing to forge ahead without the help of Six Apart’s surprisingly knowledgeable and helpful technical support people.
