Fuck Yeah Weird Bikes
"The goal here is to collect some of the weird bikes. Some of them are only slightly weird, perhaps just deviations from the standard frame style. But some are completely whacked out looking."

"Geofences are special locations that deserve their own geo privacy settings. Simply draw a circle on a map, choose a geo privacy setting for that area, and you’re done." very smart.

A Park A Day: The Cobb Estate (or the Haunted Forest), Altadena: LAist
One of my favorite places in my teen years. Wrote a melodramatic fantasy novella inspired by that walk. (And come to think of it, pics of Cobb Estate & the Mt Lowe Railway were in my folder of inspiration photos for my 2009 NaNoWriMo project.)

Gradual Calamity | Quiet Babylon
"What would it have been like to live through the fall of Rome? You’d have been very old. The decline of the Roman Empire took 320 years. That’s 12 generations of people." beautiful photos, noteworthy thoughts. also sad, very very sad.

Documenting the Decade - NYTimes.com
towards the end, there's a juxtaposition of a photo of a man going thru a trash can against the next photo of a shiny new iPhone -- it seems to say everything to me. And though this decade past brought a lot of good things into my life, looking back seems like just one f'ed up thing after another.

"I just realized that just because in every previous year I’ve run an excited photo of the spring’s first crocuses, that’s not a reason not to run an excited photo of this spring’s first crocus." extra-pretty this year, love the focus/lack-of-focus.

How I Made a 1,474-Megapixel Photo During President Obama’s Inaugural Address | David Bergman -- ALL ACCESS -- sports, concert, and music photographer
fun to explore. (Ma is near the sea of red hats, btw.) Is Clarence Thomas asleep, or just blinking? Hillary looks like she's muttering an aside to Bill. And a surprising number of black fedoras, at least up in the VIP zone.

beautiful photos of Jefferson's bible editing project. I read about it in a book I read over the summer about the founding fathers & religion, which gave me a new appreciation of the complexity of their thought & the religious environment of the Revolutionary Era.
