I also got some decent footage of the #CriticalMass #Boston roll-out from Copley. It was overcast and pretty meh all day but it turned out really quite nice right before ride time, and it's a rare treat to get to watch the roll-out from this angle, especially […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.
