Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) “America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.” “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”Continue reading “Five Quotes From Oscar Wilde”

Occupied
Like a lot of cities the one in which I live is occupied…and it makes me proud. Proud that people are standing up for something as a national (and now international) community. In our city the protesters are gathering in the shadow of city hall with the American flag within view. I, unfortunately, have notContinue reading “Occupied”

Cargo Bike Revolution
The below trailer was forwarded to me by a fellow cargo-biker (thanks Max!). It’s the trailer to an upcoming documentary about cargo bikes in the US. It is so good for me to see this. While I generally get really good comments about the Mundo when I’m on it or loading it, and while aContinue reading “Cargo Bike Revolution”

How To Cook Pasta Like a Chef
Firstly, let me say that this post is not about pasta in general, nor is it about a specific recipe; it is more about how to cook in a specific style with just a few ingredients. And by this I mean cooking aglio e olio–or, with garlic and oil–which of course refers to the ingredientsContinue reading “How To Cook Pasta Like a Chef”

Power To The People
Buffalo, like many American cities, is in the midst of peaceful protest. Started in lower Manhattan, it began as Occupy Wall Street, but has spread to cities throughout the country. It’s about time…enough is enough. I rode my bike down to Niagara Square tonight to talk with and snap a few pictures of some ofContinue reading “Power To The People”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#363)…and how things often work out.
A full sheet of drywall, cut into six pieces. It’s interesting how things often work out…it really is. Here’s an example. Without going into too much detail, I am about to rehab a room in my house and there’s a section of ceiling that needs to be replaced. It’s only an area measuring about 12Continue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#363)…and how things often work out.”

Five Quotes from John Lennon
John Lennon (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980) “It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.” “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky.

Buffalo Soldiers (on bikes)
When I first came across this image it stopped me in my tracks (or at least in my clicking)…excellent photo isn’t it? It’s a group of Buffalo Soldiers testing bikes before a journey. And being a Buffalonian I also like their title (though it is completely unrelated). I found the image at this site, whichContinue reading “Buffalo Soldiers (on bikes)”

The Theology of Steve Jobs
Image found here. I wasn’t going to write or post anything about Steve Jobs for a few reasons. One is that info regarding him, his life, and his recent transition, is currently proliferating not only the Internet but all forms of media. The other reason is that I didn’t know him personally. But the moreContinue reading “The Theology of Steve Jobs”
