Langdon Street Geek Week – Freeride Bike Clean!, originally uploaded by SirStan.
So, its been four whole months since I posted here. In that time I devoted myself to my job at the state house, involved got involved in a serious relationship with a girl from Worcester (Massachusetts, not Vermont), drafted more legislation and attended more judiciary committee meetings than I care to think about, found myself unemployed once again, and got involved with a recently-conceived Montpelier bike cooperative. Above you’ll see a picture of me at one of Freeride’s functions, washing my orange Bottecchia fixed gear.
Speaking of my Bottecchia, the bike has served me well over the past few months (after some serious upgrades—it’s quite a different bike from the one it was before). Fixed gear, it turns out, is definitely a new and interesting biking experience, and seems to be an interesting next step after recovering from my broken hip.
I also turned 31 with a small but important amount of fanfare (which came from my new girlfriend) traveled to Central Massachusetts on several weekends, and started the process of finding more work. I’m not sure what the next phase of my life is going to look like, and in the meantime I’ve really enjoyed once again being between things.

Ski Lift

Someone posted a bunch of pictures from what looks like a summer vacation to Vermont back in the 1970’s. So great for so many different reasons. Unfortunately, there’s no tags or photo sets, so you have to dig through the set on your own.

Litigation
Originally uploaded by vignettes.
I wish I understood the context of this photo, but I have very little to go on. There’s enough information, though, for me to say that it is law-related, if only vaguely.
In any event, I was just looking for an excuse to link to it here.

My sister just got back from a week-long trip to New Orleans, where she helped with post-Katrina rebuilding efforts. She’s been posting photographs from that trip to a rapidly growing flickr set, which is worth taking a look at.

Law Class: Project Visual Aid
Originally uploaded by Hackintosh.
Oh my god, what better way for this blog to come out of semiretirement than to bring you this most excellent photograph of a courtroom scene constructed from Legos. Just totally brilliant. I’m not sure which I like best—the droid as court reporter, the prosecutor as pirate (what?), or the janitor who brought his push broom with him to jury duty (if only they let you get away with such things in a real court room, I might consider going into litigation).
Check out the actual flickr photograph for some equally entertaining notes that further explain the scene.

Milwaukee sidewalk imprints ::

A guy from Milwaukee has a Flickr set of all the different imprints on Milwaukee sidewalks. Whenever the city would install new sidwalks, they would place these imprints intermittenly. I’m not sure what the point of the imprints were, other than to serve a reminder of when the construction happened, something like stuffing current newspapers into the wall during home renovation projects.
In any event, growing up in Milwaukee, I remember seeing those imprints on the sidewalks in my neighborhood, and I remember them changing throughout the years. I especially recall them from the time we got all new sidewalks on our street. It’s nice to see how the designs evolve over the years.

It’s nice to see the Christmas cement truck is making the rounds back in Montpelier. I’ll get back home on December 28th—hopefully the holiday lights won’t be retired before my return.

A pretty good legal photo, to help me get back into the swing of things on this site. Sometimes the law can hurt, and the only consolation one might provide is to say “sorry, kid.”

Runaway Flickr hit ::

So, I posted one of my photos to the Quote Abuse Flickr group, which I found through my del.icio.us links. Quote Abuse gained substantial popularity over the past few weeks, likely due to this Boing Boing post. So, I noticed this morning that the photo I posted had 1,042 views since I first added it to the group’s pool—by far it has become the most popular shot I’ve ever taken. And I mean ever.

Not much meaning to this one, at least that I can tell. I mostly just liked the way it looked.
