It’s still too early to make a decision on the future of this website, but thank you so much to everyone who has responded to our various “calls to action” this week. Today’s focus is on finding advertisers, investors and distribution partners. On Monday, we asked you to encourage your friends to join our free e-mail subscription list. Your sincere endorsements (and our iPad raffle) have helped us to double our number of subscribers this week!

Thanks to everyone who helped get our SOS week off to a good start. I don’t know if it was the mention of a freee iPad or what but our army of loyal readers really banded together to get the word out. We even made it…In the Papers.

Pat needs your help before Pat’s Papers runs out of cash. If you enjoy the site, this is your call to action: please tell five friends about us.

If you’re on Twitter and following @NYGovernor, you’re not connected to official updates from Andrew Cuomo. The new governor of New York’s official website linked to that Twitter account on Saturday, even though it didn’t exist.

If I hadn’t read that there was a glitch in the iPhone clock on January 1st I likely would have assumed I’d forgotten to turn on my alarm on Saturday. I wasn’t the only one who had a problem. I was interviewed about my experience for a story in the Monday New York Times.

The Pat’s Papers team is off to celebrate the New Year with friends and family.

Best wishes for 2011!

We’re back to our regular schedule on Monday.

The new MTA subway and bus fares in New York took effect today. And this means there’s an entirely new calculation to learn to make sure you’re not left with a few pennies wasted on your Metrocard. The new magic number is $39.95.

Since Boxing Day fell on a Sunday, Pat has declared today a Pat’s Papers holiday. We’re back with a fresh batch of stories tomorrow morning. (If you’re in the Northeast, we hope you’ll have been able to dig out from the snow by then!)

I read about it all day. And talked about it too. But when 2:40 am rolled around, I couldn’t muster the energy to get out of bed and see last night’s lunar eclipse. Luckily, the world is composed of much more dedicated star gazers than myself. And ones with really nice cameras, to boot.
