A couple of firsts today: the first real, rainy test of my fenders reveals that they do indeed keep the water off of you, as advertised.  They do not, however, appear to magically ward off flats, resulting in my first flat as a Bicycle Commuter.  The aforementioned tire event occurred in the middle of the [...]

New photos up on flickr as promised, including my wheels and a couple shots of the GQ bowlstravaganza.

This video was made using nearly 300 hand-cut 10×10 cm linolium block prints for The Art of Lost Words project, inspired by the word dehisce, which we coincidentally learned in Botany a couple of weeks ago.  It’s what the anthers of a flower do when they split open and release their [...]

So I [...]

This photo essay depicts the scrappy, entrepreneurial side of the slums of Mumbai. Cobbled together homes sit side-by-side with cottage industries in Dharavi, including some very industrial ones like recycling outfits which together reclaim eighty percent of Mumbai’s plastic, people that grind down paint chips into a powder than can be re-constituted into usable [...]

And the weather today was so bone-chillingly nice! Life update: it’s finals, and I have two papers due tomorrow night (tonight?) at midnight, and two exams left after that. BUT the GQ concert went off pretty well, I did tolerably well on my computer science project I turned in last friday night (things [...]
