"You can urinate upon some of the people some of the time, but you can't urinate on all of the people all of the time."
At least I think it was something like that.
I simply must link to b online's interview with crusading Baltimore personal injury lawyer Barry Glazer, if only for this video compilation of local TV spots.
(the embedded video is working only sporadically for me here - go give b a hit and watch it over there.)

The Inauguration effect, or object lesson in supply and demand
| Published Monday, December 08, 2008 by Michael K..
Heard about how the whole world is descending on DC for Obama's upcoming inauguration?
I've been looking at Amtrak fares for next month, because I've got to come down the Northeast Corridor, from Connecticut to Baltimore, sometime between the 18th and the 20th. If you're not familiar with Amtrak's bucket pricing system, just know that the baseline fare for this trip is about $60, and that the highest "bucket" or fare for an regular-class ticket is around $130 or $140 (I believe).
Now take a look at this series of screenshots I've made from my searches of those days.
You figure it out.

Blogrolling is what I use to serve up links to other blogs and sites. It is for the moment, anyway, but we'll see how long that lasts if they don't get themselves straightened out soon.
With them having been down for weeks now, I can't update or freshen up my blogroll. That's something I'd like to do, since I've got a bunch of new sites I'd like to add. Like these.
Since I'm living in the Baltimore area now, and I'm deeply interested in issues of urban space, culture planning, transportation, redevelopment and history, of how to adapt old cities to modern needs, how come I haven't been reading Baltimore Inner Space all along? How come you haven't been?
I've been on the lookout for some Slow Food type eateries in Baltimore, as well as some other eco-friendly services, sites and organizations around here. That's why I've started perusing the Baltimore Green Map.
Rapha cycling clothes are not only stylish in a classic continental way, less Lycra and more merino wool and tweed (I'd probably fit in a medium, if you're shopping), but the photo-essays on their site (by Ben Ingham, available also as prints) verge on the breathtaking. Maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for both the Alps and bicycles - within a year or three I'm hoping to take part in this, but I can't get enough. Say hello to my new desktop backgrounds.
