And I thought that riding my bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan was an accomplishment...

Be warned, the video is quite graphic, 6 minutes long, and very upsetting. Makes me so glad that I am a vegetarian.

I am beyond excited for the NYC citibike program to launch. It's a program that lets you rent bicycles from pickup stations all around the city, from Midtown Manhattan and south, and extending into south Brooklyn. I signed up for the annual membership and am planning to try and replace cab rides with bike rides. We'll see how it goes!

I spotted this one near my office, on Astor Place. They seemed to be doing some testing.

Thanks to the wonderful options at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden plant sale, my pots are looking stellar! Now, to keep it that way...

Cooper Union has announced that it will leave its charter and now begin to charge a "steeply sliding" tuition. Students and alumni are heartbroken, understandably. Today they protest by painting the very windows of their own school

Sit through the overtly racist intros and watch these folks put on a seriously good bhangra routine.

At the downtown Astor Place 6 stop a tagger has tagged the neon lights above the tracks. Very geometric pattern, with a simple, jagged stroke. Sometimes I really dislike destructive graffiti, but I find this very artistically pleasing.

My wonderful school has sent me on a 2-week journey to India with 12 7th and 8th graders, and 2 other faculty members. We are part of an exchange program with a school in New Delhi for a week, but we are spending the first week traveling from Agra (Taj Mahal) to Rajasthan. If the first few days are any indicator, we are in for a truly magical 2 weeks.

Enjoy some of the sights and flavors of my trip thus far.
