Skipping stones.

They are very inquisitive. So when I put the camera near the cage to take a picture, they get inquisitive about the camera.

As yet unnamed! Two very cute juvenile female rats.

Summary - riding in the bike lane is recommended but in some cases not required, you are not required to ride single file (though i wish you were), you are required to wear no more than ONE earbud, you can't ride on the sidewalk (but regular cops can't ticket you for this, since it's under the jurisdiction of the Environmental control board), signal when you're turning, and you need to have head- and rear-lights and reflectors when it's dark out, and a bell. Also, bikes are afforded the general rights and responsibilities of drivers, meaning (among other things) stay out of the crosswalk, don't run reds, one-way streets are one-way. Not covered: I believe that New York City (rightly) affords pedestrians the right of way *no matter what.*

Question? Is there a law specifically prohibiting vehicular and pedestrian traffic/standing in marked bike lanes?

"Every month, we will make one volume (a year’s worth of pub lic a tions) avail able through the Fonts.com blog. There are, how ever, a couple of caveats. First, the files are big – as in “way big.” The low-resolution files can be as big as 18 MB and the high-resolution files are down right huge at over 85 MB in some cases. Second, they are not per fect. The ori ginal doc u ments were some times faded, cracked or torn. That com bined with a semi-automated scan ning pro cess (over 9,000 pages scaned) res ul ted in some unavoid able “char ac ter” traits. The final caveat is that the above plan could change depend ing on audi ence interest level (or lack thereof). So, if you love it, let us know."

Walter Murch discusses the role of Beethoven, Flaubert (and, less so, Thomas Edison) in the invention of cinema.

In the Modern Ephemera Society pool on Flickr. Wish I knew the artist, the fauvist illustration style is pretty amazing.

Amazing collection from John Gall of book covers from books about dogs. Some great vernacular inspiration, and more than one fantastic band name (dibs on This and That About Chihuahuas.)

"Tsukumogami (付喪神?, "artifact spirit") are a type of Japanese spirit. According to the Tsukumogami-emaki, tsukumogami originate from items or artifacts that have reached their 100th birthday and thus become alive and aware."

The projector was set up on the roof of Leah's friend's loft, and was facing down, projecting onto the rooftop below. The piece itself is on her website: www.inkbox.org/timed.php

Off to the side. Couldn't help myself.
