I was going to write a lot of stuff about how much I don't like the photo I used, but then decided to stop. Let's leave it at that. I'm not happy with today's photo.
The lyrics written on the image are from Pink Floyds' "I've got a bike" song... I haven't heard it in ages, but I love it and it makes me smile. One of the main reasons for this is it reminds me of some very hilarious times my senior year of highschool.
We're Here: Bikes
Gratitude:
I'm thankful for baby/toddler giggles. They make me smile.
This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:

•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.
Photograph taken at 06:57am on July 26th 2011 within the skateboard arena on London's South Bank, located underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall, near the Festival Pier and very much a part of the central London scene.
Home to world championships and freedom of expression that is both artistic and refreshing, this vibrant and energetic location has fallen victim sadly to red tape and beaurocratic stupidity which will likely see the arena closed for good in the near future.

Sylvia Plath's legend preceded her.
At school my brother, two years my senior, had already endured a term of Sylvia Plath in English Literature. I remember him complaining about her in the kitchen as he resentfully dissected one of her poems for homework, accompanied by a deafening soundtrack of Jimi Hendrix. ‘Just a depressed bird who hated men and then topped erself.’ At my age I tended to stupidly take my older brother’s word for it on things that were cool and things that were not and so I took it as read that Plath was a subject that was not.
When I too came of age and had a pale green copy of Plath's selected poems bestowed upon me to fill with notations on symbolism, metaphors and similes I braced myself for a tough term of Monday afternoons.
Older brothers know nothing.
I took to Plath like a depressed, misunderstood teenage girl takes to, well, Sylvia Plath.
I still have my A-Level copy all covered in scribble. Phrases from her poems often pop into my mind. When I sank the knife through a cherry tomato and into my finger last week I immediately thought of Sylvia’s ‘Cut’.
What a thrill-
My thumb instead of an onion.
I then hunted out my book and read the entire poem aloud to my bloke. . . . . and I felt completely ridiculous. I started off all full of gusto and animation and then as I read on and began to lose confidence I got faster and faster and more and more monotone thinking, I’ve lost him, I’ve lost him, I’ve lost ME, I’ve lost ME!
In the classroom with a much-enthused teacher cajoling you along with him, every word and every comma seemed profound, incandescent. When read out to someone half watching Countryfile it suddenly seemed like an inadequately practised primary school assembly piece. I began to stumble over the punctuation and the rhythm and his attention was drawn to a farmer with his arm inside a cow. I finished the poem like a slalomer on Ski Sunday, crashing into the last phrase. I wandered off puzzled, he, relieved. I used to write thousand word essays on these poems and how intense they were, but that poem came out all wrong.
So while my English teacher had spent years opening young eyes to Sylvia Plath’s talent I had just repaid him by turning some glazed eyes against her.
Once upon a time I sat in a sports hall and spewed forth all that I could get out of me on Sylvia Plath’s work in one and a half hours. I have no idea what I wrote; I would love to re-read my A-Level essay. What happens to all of them? The culmination of all those years study, the most important brain purge of our lives so far and we never get to see that outpouring again. Off the papers go to be marked and they are never seen again. Do A-Level exam markers get an extra paper recycling bin? Do they use our poorly punctuated words to help light the fire in their wood-panelled study after a hard day marking? Rather than have our A-level certificates mounted on the walls we should have our essays on display – the actual work we produced – the real evidence of learning.
Fifty years have passed since Sylvia Plath died. Fifty years have also just passed since Robert Frost died – I had to write an A-Level essay about him too but I cannot recall a single utterance of his and have had no further interest in his life, even though having just looked on Wikipedia it was perhaps even more fraught with anguish and heartache (in other words more fascinating) than Plath’s.
Plath however, I hoover up novels on her, by her, on Assia Weevil (the other woman – also a suicide) (though not Ted Hughes – I always make sure to turn off The Iron Man if it comes on telly) . . . .but I don’t actually read Plath’s poetry much. Has her legend superseded her work? What everyone remembers is her head in the oven and that’s what gets them curious about her life and works. Had she lived to be a grand old botoxed lady making appearances on radio 4’s Woman’s hour and The Culture show slagging off Ted Hughes and sharing embarrassing details about his hairy back and disgusting habits she wouldn’t be nearly such a compelling subject. Was her greatest achievement professionally her suicide?

Long write-up for today's batch of awesomeness.
First off. This whole covid thing, the election, working from home, not being able to go out, not seeing friends/family, etc. Has me, and I'm sure everyone else frazzled. Having a project to work on, in my case hiking out and shooting photos of graffiti on trains has been the one thing that's keeping me sane at this point. Hoping to see some new pieces from writers that I respect is like opening a pack of baseball cards and finding your favorite players rookie card for me. Yeah, it sounds goofy, but I've been having fun, staying sane, and seeing and capturing some amazing pieces of rolling art.
So I had this weird Monday vacation day on 11-2-2020. I decided to drive out to one my my benching spots and hang out for the day.
The plan was to set up a time lapse camera, and then just hang out and bench freights for 5-6 hours. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze, 88F. high. No clouds makes for a very boring time lapse between trains coming by. I also only brought my little Small Rig clamp for the time lapse camera and couldn't decide where I wanted to clamp it. I should have just brought a tripod.
Out for a few hours before the BNSF guys in their truck rolled up, got out and started walking toward me. "Great!" I thought. They're going to try and chase me away. Nope, they walked over to one set of tracks, walked across the bridge inspecting the tracks, then under the bridge inspecting the bridge, got in their truck and left. I like that. I don't bother you. You don't bother me.
A while later I see tree guy coming back home. I don't know his name, but there's a guy who lives in/under a tree that's next to the trail I hike in on. Once he's in there you'd never know it. I've seen him, he's seen me, and we don't bother each other.
The whole time I'm there I'm using my little Tascam recorder to record train audio every time one comes by so I have audio for the slideshow videos I've been uploading on YouTube. Well, this time I forgot it out there. Didn't dump my photos until Tuesday night and discovered it missing. Woke up early, drove out and it was still there. It recorded for almost 5 more hours before the batteries died. Glad to have it back, I thought tree guy might have found it.
TEAM MANILA asked Carlos to write a song for a campaign that would help promote not tourism but also the Filipino's love for their own place. The song, entitled "Ain't No Other Place" is part of Team Manila's effort to boost local and international awareness of the beauty that is the Philippines, celebrating it's culture, the people, and the quirky uniqueness that makes this place one of a kind.

In my early days, I drew with whatever block of colors I could find (whether it was plastic, a block of wax, or crayons). When I grew a little older, my parents bought me markers to play with. After they found me marking up the walls in the house, they decided they'd switch me to colored pencils. When I started elementary school, I learned how to write with pencils. As I grew older, I learned to love mechanical pencils because they would always win in pencil fights. Also, they offered the precision I needed when drawing plots and writing math equations. In college, I fell in love with ball-point pens. Notes stayed preserved when written with ink. When drawing gate logic diagrams and plots in pen, it was easier to draw with finer tipped pens.
When I started working, I found the office supply cache filled with pilot pens. Then, I realized it was easier to take digital notes and so I bought a wacom tablet. When I bought an iPad, I switched to writing on a new medium. Now I've grown lazy and don't bother writing. The majority of my writing now is code..
