It snowed and made my four-hour round trip daily commute interesting. I'd finished most of the projects I'd been working on and did not feel like doing anything thinky (oh freehand reversible blackwork, you hurt my brain) so I practised lettering and tried to use up floss bits. Also, I've been pondering on the raddness of this project and felt all homage-y.
It's about a word a day, in between reading (Little Lord Faunterloy and White Noise) and staring blankly.
I am not going to use my light turquoise, light sage, or light orange floss on this kind of aida again. Cannot see it, looks dumb.
Some Monday mornings I pass by Dunnigan, CA. This time of year they're always rocking the hot air balloons.
I am really lucky that I have the option to use the Milwaukee River trail as part of my commute. I am also lucky that there are other cycling and running enthusiasts in my office. So, I'm not the only weirdo that steps out of the restroom in Polartec PowerStretch tights and a soft shell jacket like some kind if nerdy superhero.
The moment my Met train went from line speed to emergency brakes just outside of Kilburn – over the railway bridge after some moron decided to pull one of the passenger emergency alarms. The only thing close to an emergency at that point was trying to get my heart out of my throat after being thrown out of my seat by the force of the train coming to a stop.

The cloverleaf highway intersection nearing the end of my morning commute. It's a shitty place for bikes to cross, but not many other options exist to get to the van pool.
Notice poorly thought out bike lane on sidewalk, which I don't use unless I plan on traveling under 7mph.
Took a picture only to catch a nice sunrise, which this picture didn't at all encapsulate.
U Bein teak bridge in Amarapura near Mandalay is said to be the longest in the world of its kind. Besides being one of the main tourist draws in the country it is still actively used. Hundreds of locals cross the bridge every day commuting from their villages to work or market. Without it they would have to make a few kilometers detour around the lake.
The only place to really capture this place from is on I-94; I don't know the name or the denomination.
I do like how this came out, however, at 70mph.
I'm liking the filters in the Retro Camera app at the moment. This was taken in The Light, Leeds. The guys at the top of the escalator are 'security'.
They don't like cameras.
I had to make couple of commutes on trains recently. Long journeys, and between reading more of my book (For Esme with Love and Squalor by J D Salinger, if you're interested), I thought I'd record what I saw. I'd have been very reluctant to do this with an SLR, but the little mobile was well up to the task. "Retro Camera" was the App of choice in this case!
This one is probably my best effort from the series. Commuting's such a blast isn't it?
8:14 am: Ready to step out of the door. Like so many New Yorkers, I rely on my iPod to keep me entertained while I'm on the go. In the morning, subways are often too crowded for reading, and without any entertainment the commute is just too boring.
On the train from Romford to London Liverpool Street, going to see Annie Leibovitz at the National Portrait Gallery. One of the best weekends of 2008.
i didn't really do anything exciting on 11/11/11. saw the remembrance service at Toronto city hall, ate a bacon sandwich at St Lawrence Markets, and went to work.
Decided it's time to dust off the bike(s) and get back into riding this summer. Figured I'd start by switching my ~6 mile commute to BART from car to bike. Thanks to a nearby bike trail cutting out around a dozen traffic lights, it only takes 5 mins longer than driving.. Add a little fitness and the time would probably be competitive.
The only other problem was securing my bike. Seeing a bunch of destroyed u-locks and cut cables near the bike racks had made me wary.. After calling and getting wait listed by BART for a bike locker, I noticed there are actually 2 kinds of lockers, these are the shared use bikelink smart card operated bike lockers (which BART neglects to mention exist when you call asking about a locker?!).
Picked up a card from Embarcadero station, and did a test run today, to time it and ensure my flat bar hybrid bike fits in the locker. Seems like a decent lock for 3c/hour. :) In theory i can leave my saddle bag, lights and helmet safely inside too.. We'll see if i live to regret that assumption..
Not bad from a moving bus, eh? When I took these, I had no idea how they would turn out. I was pretty darned happy when I pulled them up to look at them and edit them. There wasn't much to do - hooray for me!
A starting traffic jam at the end of highway 400. I usually took hwy 401 west, but sometimes it was jammed too, so I exited at Jane Street. / A 400-as autópálya végén gyakran volt dugó - én általában nyugatra mentem a 401-esen, de ha az is bedugult, néha lementem a Jane Street felé.
I took these shots a July morning during my daily commute - over the previous 2 years I got used to the 60 minutes drive every morning - I listened to the radio, and later audiobooks while driving. The pictures were meant as a memory, since by then we were preparing to move from Ontario.
Egy nyári reggelen készÃtettem ezeket a képeket, ahogy otthonról elindultam munkába, egész a munkahelyemre érkezésig. Ekkorra az egyórás vezetéshez volt már két évem hozzászokni - elÅ‘bb rádiót, majd audiobook-ot hallgattam. A megörökÃtés emléknek kellett - ekkor már készültünk a végül a vártnál késÅ‘bb fél év múlva bekövetkezett költözésünkre.
