A few nice Blogs images I found:
The Bicycle Builders (and I added Facebook Comments to the blog)
Image by Stuck in Customs
In reverse order of the titles, some of you might notice that I have added Facebook Comments over at my blog at www.stuckincustoms.com/2009/02/23/the-bicycle-builders-an…, so now you can leave comments with the old style or the new style. I left both systems in place since there are so many good previous comments, and they are not really convertible. The New Facebook comments are pretty cool because they re-use your Facebook info, and it extends that community and network of friends, since all these networks come together nowadays. It took a tiny bit of coding to set myself up as a Facebook Developer, but it wasn’t so tough (I knew that major in Computer Science would come in handy some day!).
There is a very nice community of people that come here to the site! You all are very nice and helpful… you give excellent comments, help one another out, give me advice, and drop all kinds of cool info bombs on the crowd. Thanks for that! I hope this Facebook comment thing can help more people to join the fun.
Anyway, to the photo for the day. This is not the usual, but it was such a cool slice of life, I could not pass it up! I was walking through the streets of Malacca in southern Malaysia, and building after building have all sorts of industry spilling out of them. Many of them are just deep garages where people have holed up to perfect one craft or another. This one was full of thousands of little bicycle parts. I stood out front for a while, watching all of them slowly convert the metallic entropy into bicycles…

A new shop opened in our neighbourhood – wonder if it has to do with the (effects of) the financial crisis?..
Disclaimer: Couldn’t help the association: unusual to open a business right now, when most others are closing. No mockery intnded in respect of a dignified business serving a community need, or (even less) a bad-taste joke on its ccustomers.

Image by shapeshift
The Forum Romanum, the Roman name for what we usually call the Roman Forum, was the place where the victorious Roman legions held their triumphal marches, where the deaths of famous persons were made public, where the corpses of emperors were burned, where the heads of emperors rolled, in short the centre of power of the Roman empire. Rome, Italy.

Baltimore – Fells Point – City Recreation Pier
Image by wallyg
City Recreation Pier, on the waterside of the 1700 Block of Thames Street was built in 1914 as a commercial pier. It also has recreation facilities, including a ballroom that served for decades as a meeting place for young people from the Point’s many ethnic groups. The pier served as a landing pont for thousands of new immigrants processed across the river at the Locust Point immigration station. The Baltimore Harbor Endowment has commemorated these pioneers and their descendants with 10,000 engraved bricks on the pier. The ferry continued to serve as an important social and economic link between the Fells Point and Locust Point communities until it finally closed down in 1937. In recent years, the Pier has received national exposure as the police headquarters for film maker Barry Levinson’s network television series, Homicide: Life on the Street.
The Fell’s Point Historic District, bound by Aliceanna Street on the north, Wolfe Street on the east, Dallas Street on the West, and Baltimore Harbor on the south, is part of the Fell’s Point neighborhood, which was founded in 1730 by William Fell. In 1763, William’s son Edward Fell laid out streets and began selling plots. The town grew quickly, and eventually incorporated with Baltimore Town and Jones Town in 1797 to form the City of Baltimore. The area grew wealthy on the tobacco, flour, and coffee trades through the 18th and 19th centuries.
Some of the first vessels commissioned for the US Navy were built in Fell’s Point yards and the area became best known for topsail schooners, sometimes erroneously called Baltimore clippers, renowned for their great speed and handling. With a lively port and plentiful employment, the neighborhood served as home for many immigrants. After the Civil War, into the turn of the century, as the shipping and shipbuilding industries moved to larger facilities, the neighborhood fell into decline until preservationists organized to save the historic buildings and cobblestoned streets. Today, Fell’s Point caters to an increasing number of middle to upper middle class residents and boasts the greatest concentration of bars in the city.
