NY1 is in the New York Daily News this morning. Actually it’s in the background. Our executive producer Leslie Martelli-Hines is the focus of a big feature, inspired by the new movie, “Morning Glory.” She talks about how she deals with waking up before 2 am every weekday, how she deals with breaking news first thing in the morning and of course, how she deals with me.

Why do airline security crackdowns always focus on the idea terrorists had last time? Shouldn’t we be looking ahead to the next thing? The latest example of this: you can’t travel with a toner cartridge.

It was a spectacular clear day for the New York City marathon on Sunday, and the MTA has the pictures to prove it. The transportation agency operates the Verazzano Narrows Bridge and it had a time-lapse recording set up on its traffic cameras as the runners got their start.

First question: Are you male, over 40 and living in Mom’s basement? If so, “Tron: Legacy” is the holiday movie for you. If not, answer the dozen or so hilariously-worded questions on the Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s holiday movie guide to see what you should be watching.

It feels like every day, I read about some fantastical thing I saw in a movie that’s now close to becoming a reality. A couple months ago we had the self-tying shoe inspired by Marty McFly. Yesterday we told you about the advent of video hologram conferencing, a la Princess Leia in “Star Wars.” And today it’s Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak that gets one step closer to reality.

I’ve been listening to the NY1 weather music for 14 years. But until last night I’d never heard it performed live. The rock and roll version came thanks to Doug Gillard, who was the musical guest for comedian Dave Hill’s live talk show in Brooklyn.

Breaking up may be hard to do…but lots of people manage to do it. And thanks to Facebook, we now know when they’re more apt to do it. Basically, this guy mined the relationship status field of thousands of Facebook users to find out if any patterns presented themselves. And they did.

I keep getting these messages from the HR department reminding me to complete my “Open Enrollment” for my 2011 benefits. And I keep putting it off because I hate this annual chore.

I hosted NY1’s coverage of New York’s Village Halloween Parade. Our costumes came to us through a partnership with the Broadway production of The Addams Family. I got to spend the night as Gomez.
