In Trubble With the Law

I riding down the road at 30 mph (speed limit 25), straight through a red light (to give myself a little credit it was a 'T' intersection) wearing an ear bud in my right ear.
A motorcycle cop pulls up next to me and lectures me for the headset.

CAVC27400: No person operating any motor vehicle or bicycle shall wear any headset covering, or any earplugs in, both ears.

For the Past Week

Almost every time I get on my bike, I break a personal record.
And in the past 3 days my car has been in the shop, so that is 2 times a day.
When I first started to ride my bike to work a year ago it took me 55 min there and 54:44 back
Yesterday I rode it in 40:18 there, and today it took me 35:35 to go home.


I may not be fast, but angry is making me faster.

More from Maker Fair

Well, we were on for about 30 sec.
The guy being interviewed was our adviser on school.

Old Stuff

I accidentally came across this the other day.
It was something from a shoot that I did many years ago, and had set aside as something that I was not interested in/did not think was very good.



I think I need to go through my old stuff and look for more "not very good pix".

Photogrophy

So photographers tend to be very fascinated with similarity of shape.
I for one am glad that wired has one that is not.

It's no good winning

If you don't have anybody at home to brag to.
Very bitter-sweet.
But I won my first and second fights as a robot driver.
