Admittedly Critical Mass can be a little obnoxious, but even as someone who rarely bikes and almost always drives a jacked up truck, the antithesis of a bike, in general I support their message. This video (via bb) is a little long and self-righteous as well, but no matter what you think of Critical Mass it very much underscores the reality that the police are extremely willing to lie and fabricate evidence and statements in order to get their way, and are very afraid of citizen surveillance because it stops their ability to perpetrate false arrest and generally facilitate a culture of fascism.

I mostly finished work on the painting based on the Johnny Cash song “Tiger Whitehead”… At the urging of many people, I’ll set up an online store for both originals and prints hopefully in the next month. I need to get a charger for my good camera so I can take shots that accurately capture the pictures. You can click this to jump to I Need More Life where there’s a high res photo.

Also, a few people had written me asking me to do tattoo designs for them. I forgot who wrote me (sorry), so if you’re still interested, please drop me a line and I’ll get drawing.

Other than that, it rained a lot last night and everything is in bloom and very pretty…

So because she outgrew her last bike — a 12″ bike that was a present from my neighbor, as his youngest had outgrown it also — we built a new bike (15″ I think) for Nefarious. It’s a pretty pink bike (of course), and has every kid’s favorite accessory, a PA and siren. We biked all the way around the pond at the park, and then some more at home… Very fun!
