In the immortal words of The Who, I hope I die before I get old.
This weekend I was driving along the LIE and just past LeFrak City is one of the most depressing sights it has ever been my misfortune to obesrve.
Senior Quarters. Where people go before they die.

Google’s done some pretty cool stuff like revolutionize webmail, let you text searches from your phone, add events to your calendar from emails. But their video offerings seem a little lackluster.
