Sweet ginormous roller tags by Gaia and Deep both of which were picked up by Bombin’ Magazine Online.

As long as it’s under a speed of 15mph, that is.

A gutted Buick turned pedal powered shell gets pulled over and cops charge driver with “operating unsafe vehichle.” The drivers went to court and argued their vehicle was not any less safe than bicycles, horse-drawn buggies or a rickshaw, all of which are street legal.

Well the judge recently ruled in their favor so pedal powered buicks are now legal to drive around Toronto. Huzzah! From a news report on the trial: “the defence made a special point of asking the police officer if he had ever stopped a rickshaw or a horse and buggy. To which the officer sheepishly replied that he had never seen a horse-drawn carriage in Toronto.”

Here’s a video of the drivers driving and getting pulled over (click to watch):

Until I think of more interesting things to blog about, I’m just going to keep plugging all my friends’ artwork:

My good friend Dan MacDonald, who plays by the name Spitzer Space Telescope, was recently featured in BU Today’s arts section as “BU’s one man band.” He writes and plays energetic folk music inspired by folk of the 60s and 18th-19th century Ireland-a unique fusion indeed.

I just love how Dan managed to incorporate his love of sci-fi into a song he wrote called Mynocks in the Garden. (Mynocks are those little bastard creatures that chew on the Millennium Falcon’s powerlines in Star Wars Episode V). When was the last time you heard a folk song about Star Wars? Dan just makes wonderful music with a story to tell. Even ones about made up mythical creatures. Be sure to check out his Myspace

And I’m not the only one who loves his music. Another friend Callum Hanlon used Dan’s music in his entry for this year’s Boston Campus Movie Fest, where competing teams had one week to write, shoot, and produce a five minute long short film. This year teams were asked to submit their films online at a site called Ourstage so viewers could rate them. Cal’s Movie, titled “Hello, Love,” (the title taken from one of Dan’s songs) as of writing stands #1 in most views out of the 128 other campus movie fest movies submitted online. We’ll find out how they fare at the BU finale this friday and if they advance, also at the Boston finale on the 26th. If the film wins anything Dan will get tons of exposure and Cal and his team could be in for some prize money

Welcome welcome to my Harvard Law Blog which may or may not have anything to do with Harvard Law.

As for a first post, here’s a fabulous collaboration of sorts between my two favorite street artists DEEP and Gaia located in Scarsdale NY.
