To start, I will be taking a four day roadtrip this upcoming weekend, two days in Baltimore (the 5th & 6th) and two days in Brooklyn (the 7th & 8th). Later in the month I will be flying to Japan for 10 days (the 19th through 29th). More on this later.
It's been more riding and less camera time lately. But I managed to get a few photos this past Sunday during our ride. Here are a couple of my favorites. Click to blow them up.
Freelancing has it's benefits, but the extracurricular work involved isn't for me. I'm gonna hunker down and get a regular job. I'll let you know how my search goes.
I've started to play a little chess as of late. I'm no good, really. Anyways, I didn't have a set at the house so I built one out of a record cover and a pizza box. It plays alright, just keep away from wind.
Now that the weather is nice I'm trying to organize a weekly bike ride. This will give me a chance to see the region and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Here are some photos from week one in which Nathan, Drew, and I explored the outskirts of Cambridge (click the sandwich):
Once in a while I will jump off the computer and paint or craft something up. Here is something I finished last night.
Steph and I made it back from Philly this last weekend. I snapped a couple photos here and there. The Liberty Bell was nice to see, even though it was a bit smaller than I expected. 3 feet from lip to crown:

We stayed with my friend Sandie and her roommate Sarah (she's in this picture). They're both attending Pennsylvania University for Design:

Same idea, but I panned the camera left a bit:
The mammoth art museum in Philly. Those are the 'Rocky' steps:
I don't have any photo evidence but we ate vegetarian Philly Cheese Steaks at a little place called Gianna's. We also tried Ethopian food for our first time.
I'll be in New Hampshire from the 12th to the 16th. After that, I'll be spending a couple of nights in Philadelphia and returning back to Boston for the 19th. Expect a photo of me and the Liberty Bell real soon.
One of my new favorite things is listening to archived radio broadcasts online. It all started when I discovered that NPR's This American Life had put up there complete archive online, free to be streamed. It's great nap or sleepy time listening. A couple other shows worth checking out online:
