Der Schnee! Der Schnee!

Snow falling last night and this morning has left my neighborhood shrouded in a light covering of slushy white stuff.

Last night we were bundled up, scurrying from a fictitious party to a nearby pub. Good times were had, and a few laughs at the fact that I couldn't drink a 7 & 7 because it was too strong (or I was too weak). The best part was yet to come: our exit.

We walked out of the pub onto the sidewalk, and noticed the small stuff coming out of the sky. In little flakes that took a long time to hit the ground. "Snow!" Shouted 3 times, once by each in our party.

We walked E. home before catching a cab, but the walk was so very fun and exciting because we were walking in our own little winter wonderland.

This was the first time I had seen snow in the city I lived for too many years. I saw snow in June over Berthoud Pass, but that really doesn't count.

Webcam Madness

As part of Benjamin Franklin's 300th, I assisted the firm Design For Social Impact develop a small webcam station where individuals can record what it is they are passionate about. It's a fun-looking installation, and there are all sorts of different takes on technology, mass media, and civic engagement.

If you are in Philly, stop by the Nexus gallery and see for yourself. It runs until January 22nd.

Oh, there's a website, too. You can look at all the videos captures in the gallery there.
