And Sometimes Why

  • My ride to work

    Here’s a video of me riding my bicycle to work. It’s really not all that exciting, but I wanted to try recording with my friend Tomas’s camera just for kicks. (If you’re interested, it’s the GoPro HD Hero2 with fisheye lens housing mounted loosely to my handlebars using an old flashlight mount.)

    It’s “unlisted” on YouTube out of a vague sense of… not privacy concerns per se, but because I’d rather not have directions to my apartment searchable on YouTube, really.

    Anyway, it’s only five minutes long, so even though the mount is pretty shaky, you can probably suffer through it. 😉

  • Bike Ride

    A while back, I went on a bike ride exploring my area of town. I chose a major road I knew pretty well, and just… went. These rides of mine sometimes turn into really interesting exploratory ventures, and this time I had the foresight to bring my camera. Lucky for me, I happened onto a used car dealership specializing in sports cars, where I just wandered around blissfully until an employee came out and started talking to me about the cars, showing me his favorites, and it got even better. Here is a slide show of some of the pictures I took.

    (Because FaceBook won’t import the slide show, to see the pictures, you’ll have to visit my actual blog here:
