In the back of the New York cabs they have small TV screens with news, weather and some decorative fluff on. Yesterday I was in a yellow taxi heading downtown and I was talking on my cellphone (such a New Yorker) and as I was talking, out of my peripheral vision I see a shelf with photographs on it. I thought to myself “There it is, someone copying my picture ledges!” until I realized that it was my apartment, with me walking through the space!
The segment had originally been shown on LXTV’s Open House and has now been placed on the cab circuit. So if you’re in New York, be sure to take cabs everywhere and you’re bound to see me in one sooner or later!

This is too funny. I wish I was in NYC and I would certainly take as many cabs as possible!

That must be such a trip, especially if it happens in the wee hours after a night out!
By the way, I didn’t realize YOU invented picture ledges? This brings up a good point about ownership of an idea: Are there original ideas anymore? How far back can we go to consider an idea reinvented or reinterpreted?
Love the blog!

So funny. I did a segment this summer and got more comments from people who saw it in a taxi than those who saw it on television! I, on the other hand, seem to always get in a taxi that has the ABC affiliation, so I’ve never seen it on the mini-screen.
